In this podcast, Dr. Briggs discusses organoid studies with author Dr. Melissa Little. The work explores the varied molecular mechanisms of specific mutations that cause SRNS and suggests promise for eventual design of mutation-specific treatments.

In this podcast, EIC Dr Briggs discusses two studies on kidney transplantation with Dr. John Gill. Topics discussed include novel molecular markers and the role of HLA-DQ mismatches, work suggesting new approaches to reduce chronic graft loss.

In this podcast, EIC Josie Briggs talks with Lekha Tummalapalli about a study addressing costs of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. An editorial on this issue is published in the November (33.11) issue of JASN.

In this podcast, JASN EIC, Josie Briggs talks with Juan-Jesus Carrero, Professor of Kidney Disease Epidemiology at Karolinska Institute. His study, published in the October issue of JASN, documents striking differences in care of men and women with CKD.

In this episode we cover two papers that examine the impact of climate change on nephrology practice. Specifically, the effect of extreme weather events on hemodialysis patient mortality and greenhouse gas emissions associated with dialysis treatment.

Two highlighted clinical studies: the first addresses the effect of combining a SGLT2 inhibitor and a MRA on proteinuria; the second considers vascular reactivity as a risk factor for cerebral hypoxia when blood pressure falls during dialysis treatments.

In this podcast, Dr. Briggs and JASN Deputy Editor, Dr. Donald Wesson discuss the special series highlighted in the July Issue. The series focuses on kidney health disparities with an emphasis on strategies for their elimination.

Dr. Briggs summarizes findings in a study published in the June issue of JASN. The study examines the impact of continued immunosuppression in patients with failed allografts; the effects are surprising and suggest current guidelines may not be optimum.

In this podcast Dr. Briggs talks with Dr. Kate Butler about advance care planning for patients with chronic kidney disease.

In the May 2022 JASN highlights, Dr. Briggs summarizes two important studies on the role of inflammation as a driving factor in the progression of CKD.
