Composite outcomes of the study favored fish oil. #NephJC
● Cardiac death: HR around 0.55.
● Myocardial infarction: about a 44% reduction.
● Peripheral vascular events leading to amputation: lower in the fish oil arm.
● Stroke: lowest hazard ratio of all outcomes, of around 0.37

Give me something clever to say 🤓
IgAN is no longer one-size-fits-all.
Timing matters.
Excitingly, tailored treatment is slowly becoming a reality.

In a CKD pt, the fear of giving iv contrast during a CT (to diagnose cancer) is more than the fear of cancer.
I need radiologists/techs to understand that
A. If I’ve signed the form, I know what I’m doing!
B. The risk of “contrast nephrotoxicity” is negligible, perhaps non-existent.
Read the lit!
