Sábado de @GlomCon ILA
Ahora con el seminario GlomCon #Glomerulonefritis_proliferativas #glomerulonefritis #nefrítico con la Dra Vanessa Moreno

Nuevas perspectivas de tratamiento en GEFS y GCM corticorresistente

GEFS primaria - Nuevos marcadores!!! anti-nefrina tisular, anti-slit, pero falta evidencia de su uso clínico

GEFS primaria = síndrome nefrótico completo - fusión podocitaria difusa >70%
GEFS secundaria = proteinuria rango variable, incluso nefrótico masivo SIN síndrome nefrótico - fusión podocitaria segmentaria, no difusia

🔵 En el @glomcon ILA Fellowship, el Dr. Manuel Praga expone los conceptos clave en el diagnóstico y manejo de pacientes con podocitopatías con esclerosis. Una sesión imperdible para profundizar en las enfermedades glomerulares. #Glomerulopatías #Nefrología

Do I assume stable renal function? No evidence of serum PLA2R and negative immunospecificity? How long was the absence of response to rituximab evaluated? Could a regimen with cyclophosphamide be an option for you patient?

So in summary
🔎when considering Hz-glomerulonephritis look for multiple autoantibodies, high ANCA titers, vasculitis and lupus overlap
📆timing occurs after 3-5 years of Hz use, higher doses = higher risk
🧬genetics may increase risk
🏥IS may help, but about 1/3 stay on dialysis

Did you know that the USRDS report also has one CKD chapter for pediatric data? The most common cause of kidney disease in children is congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) with prevalence of glomerulonephritis increasing with age. 🧵
