Fibroblasts do more than make scar tissue. #ASNJASN study shows they use COX-2 signaling to suppress harmful SPP1-producing macrophages that drive kidney fibrosis, revealing a protective fibroblast-macrophage pathway and new therapeutic targets for CKD. kidney.pub/JASN1218 @agnesfogo.bsky.social

New #ASNCJASN study shows that training nephrologists to order and interpret tests expanded access dramatically while maintaining a strong diagnostic yield, demonstrating a scalable model for integrating precision medicine into kidney care. kidney.pub/CJASN1184

#ASNKidney360 study: SMaRT BP CKD found BP self-management is feasible in CKD clinics, with high home BP monitoring adherence and 90% study completion. BP improvements were modest, supporting refinement before a larger trial. #CKD kidney.pub/KID1316

#ASNCJASN #Review: Post-dilution HDF removes more solutes than conventional HD, affecting drug clearance and dosing. Because HDF may increase removal of some medications, individualized dosing and therapeutic drug monitoring are key to safe, effective treatment. kidney.pub/CJASN1180...
