Figure 2. Primary endpoints
(A) The least-squares mean proportion of patients with resolution of MASH without worsening of fibrosis after 24 weeks of treatment; error bars represent SE; MASH resolution was defined as at least a 2-point reduction in NAS (scale of 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating more severe disease), no hepatocyte ballooning, and a score of 0 or 1 in the lobular inflammation component of the score, without worsening fibrosis. (B) The least-squares mean proportion of patients with liver fibrosis improvement without worsening of MASH after 24 weeks of treatment, defined as the proportion of patients achieving at least a one-stage improvement in liver fibrosis without worsening of NAS; error bars represent SE. A composite strategy was employed that considered patients with missing outcomes due either to missing biopsies or treatment discontinuations as non-responders. Data were analysed with the use of the chi-square test. MASH=metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis. NAS=non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score.

Fish Oil in Dialysis: A Big Catch or an Empty Net — NephJC Holy Mackerel! This week we will discuss fish oil use in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Could this be the one thing that bends the curve on CV mortality, or is it just a red herring?

Maybe the most shocking study from #KidneyWk.
🐚From the depths of the oceans to #BlueSky, we're discussing PISCES 🐟 12/2/25 9pm EST. #NephJC
Are you hooked🪝on fish oil for CV disease in ESRD, or are you throwing it back 🌊?

Visual abstract - still needs work since KI doesn’t get professionals to do it! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Interesting data from Alberta

www.kidney-international.org/article/S008... in @kidneyint.bsky.social

GFR < 15 is classified as ‘kidney failure’ in most studies - but about a third of them die before starting RRT.

Is that glass half full or half empty? 🥃

Introducing NephJC Shorts — NephJC In just over a decade of critical appraisal on NephJC, we have done several experiments. Some of them have worked out phenomenally well, such as the Freely Filtered podcast. Others were not ready for ...

We don’t get to discuss every important study that comes out on #NephJC

Hence #NephJCShorts

3 approaches Contd
2. Panel approach: Alternatively, a laboratory could employ a standard panel of antibodies for antigens that can vary depending on volume and demographics
3. Proteomic approach: Laser microdissection of MN glomeruli, followed by mass spectrometry. #ECneph

👉 MN is a pattern of glomerular injury
👉 Deposition of immune complex along subepithelial aspect of GBM
👉 On Light Microscopy GBM is thickened. GBM spikes or holes can be seen
👉 IHC/IF shows IgG with C3 along capillary wall
