   FSGS: KDIGO 2021 guideline | With Dr Richard Glassock

   In 2021, a work group of international experts published an update to the 2012 iteration of this guideline. To do so they reviewed the latest evidence through a systematic literature review, with the aim of providing a useful resource for clinicians caring for individuals with glomerular disease through actionable recommendations. In this episode we speak to Dr Richard Glassock, member of the work group, to hear his insights on the key takeaways from the guideline, and what has changed in this iteration.

   IgAN: Current and future therapies | With Prof. Rosanna Coppo

   Current standard of care for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) involves optimized supportive care, antihypertensives, and dietary and lifestyle modifications. Despite these interventions, ~30% of patients progress to end stage renal disease. Recent approvals of delayed-release budesonide for IgAN and dapagliflozin for chronic kidney disease, and further investigational agents have the potential to alter the treatment landscape for IgAN. In this episode, Professor Rosanna Coppo offers her expert insight into the potential clinical implications of current and investigational therapies, both now and in the future.

   FSGS: Current and future therapies | With Dr. Kirk Campbell

   Historically, treatment options for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have been limited to high-dose corticosteroids or calcineurin inhibitors in those ineligible or intolerant to steroids. However, an increase in clinical trial activity in the field of kidney disease may carry hope for novel therapeutic options for FSGS. This is illustrated by the recent approval of dapagliflozin for chronic kidney disease. In this episode, Dr. Kirk Campbell offers his expert opinion into the potential clinical implications of current and investigational therapies, both now and in the future. Learning objective After listening to this podcast series, learners will be able to recall the potential clinical implications of current and investigational therapies for FSGS.

   IgAN: Predicting risk and treatment response | With Dr Andrew Bomback

   IgA nephropathy presents with a clinically diverse set of symptoms of wide-ranging severity and a varied disease course. As our understanding of IgA nephropathy has improved, various tools have been developed to help assess risk of progression to kidney failure. This episode offers insight into the use of freely available tools that can assist with the management of IgA nephropathy. We are joined by Dr Andrew Bomback to discuss how these tools are applied in the clinic. By completing this activity you can qualify for 0.25 CME credits.

   FSGS: Classification and risk prediction | With Prof. An De Vriese

   While FSGS was once thought to be a single disease entity, it is now understood to be a pattern of injury caused by diverse mechanisms, but classifying FSGS accurately can be challenging. In this episode, we provide an overview of these classifications and risk factors that can help stratify disease progression risk and assist with determining management approaches. To help understand how we can most effectively and accurately classify FSGS, we are joined by Professor An De Vriese, who is head of the Division of Nephrology and Infectious Disease at the AZ Sint-Jan hospital in Bruges, Belgium.
