Any experience with generic budesonide versus Tarpeyo(targeted release budesonide) for IgA nephropathy? All I can find are proteinuria studies and increased risk of systemic side effects. Blue Cross wants patient to fail generic budesonide for 3 months before approving Tarpeyo. #askrenal

What are the worst items to get stuck in your teeth? For me, in no particular order: cacao nibs and popcorn.

149.46 miles walked in 21 days in Europe and airports, about 7.12 miles/day. Worst day was 2.95 miles, best was 9.93 miles. Not converting to km.

56.22 miles walked over the last week, plus cow encounters today in Italy.

In honor of #IgANDay, we wanted to share this painting by @glombandit.bsky.social. It shows glomeruli with mesangial hypercellularity, endocapillary hypercellularity, and crescent formation. These findings can be seen in IgA nephropathy, and other active glomerulonephritides.

Multi-omics analyses reveal the pathogenic role of terminal ileum-derived IgA+β7+ cells in IgA nephropathy

Galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) plays a key role in IgA nephropathy (IgAN), but the location of the plasma cells responsible for its production remain unknown.
