Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) will achieve improved benefits from optimized use of guideline directed medical therapy, however healthcare providers may not be utilizing renin–angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA) use due to hyperkalemia concerns. Using a multidisciplinary approach, experts in cardiology and nephrology address the clinical implications of suboptimal RAASi and MRA use, compare real-world data on the efficacy and safety of oral potassium binders, and developing evidence-based treatment strategies that incorporate potassium binders to improve outcomes in patients with CKD and HF who are at risk for or experiencing hyperkalemia.

For the second episode of the KDIGO IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) podcast series, Dr. Dana Rizk and Dr. Shikha Wadhwani discuss the IgAN treatment revolution. The conversation explores how a deeper understanding of the disease's pathophysiology has led to new therapeutic options, moving beyond traditional supportive care.

Key topics include:

• The shift in IgAN treatment since the KDIGO 2021 guidelines
  
• The four-hit hypothesis of IgAN, and how new therapies are being developed to target each step of the disease's pathogenesis
  
• Factors for clinicians to consider when choosing new treatments
  
• The evolving role of traditional therapies alongside newer agents

As the therapeutic landscape for follicular lymphoma continues to evolve, CAR T-cell therapy is emerging as a transformative option for select patients with relapsed or high-risk disease. But it also comes with a lot of important considerations, like knowing when to refer and how to manage common adverse events. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to explore how CAR T fits into the broader treatment algorithm for follicular lymphoma is Dr. Jonathan Cohen. Not only is he a Professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at the Emory University School of Medicine, but he's also the Co-Director of the Lymphoma Program at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta.

Bronchiectasis is complex, often underdiagnosed, and frequently misunderstood. Explore key contributors to disease progression, including the role of neutrophilic inflammation and neutrophilic serine proteases, and learn to distinguish bronchiectasis from other respiratory conditions and assess patient risk factors that impact outcomes. This module covers how pulmonary exacerbations influence disease course and highlights new insights from recent clinical trials. Stay ahead of the curve with updates on emerging therapies that could transform how we manage this challenging disease.

This CME activity focuses on multiwavelength photobiomodulation (PBM), an emerging therapy indicated for the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Hear from leading researchers and retina specialists about the mechanism of action, how it is administered, its efficacy and safety profile, therapeutic durability, which patients may benefit the most, and how PBM would fit into the AMD treatment paradigm.
