Today, leaders from the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) will meet with their congressional delegations and call for their support of $67 million in funding for the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Organ Transplantation Program in FY 26.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) commends Senators John Boozman (R-AR) and Ben Ray Luj谩n (D-NM) for introducing legislation to better support living donors, the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) today released the ASN Kidney Health Guidance on the Outpatient Management of Patients with Dialysis-Requiring Acute Kidney Injury in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication experienced by hospitalized adults and pediatric patients. Severe cases of AKI may require in-hospital hemodialysis (AKI D).
Joint Statement from ASN, ERA, and ISN: Announcing the ASN-ERA-ISN Kidney Support Initiative
Top advocacy goals the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) has championed throughout the 118th Congress have been included in draft text for a large end-of-year legislative package on Capitol Hill.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) commends Senator John Boozman and Senator Ben Ray Luj谩n for their introduction of the Honor Our Living Donors (HOLD) Act in the Senate.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) celebrates the introduction of the Expanding Support for Living Donors Act of 2024, legislation that would bolster and expand support for living organ donors.
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) welcomes the final Increasing Organ Transplant Access (IOTA) model rule from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI).
Dr. Roy-Chaudhury will head up an organization鈥攚ith nearly 21,000 health professionals representing 140 countries鈥攄edicated to leading the fight against kidney diseases.
IgA nephropathy is an autoimmune kidney disease, and complement, a component of the innate immune system, plays a role in the condition鈥檚 pathogenesis. Investigators have developed and tested a novel gene therapy that enters kidney cells and enables them to block complement activation. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
Chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) is a common cause of allograft loss after transplantation, with no approved therapies. Clazakizumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), stabilized kidney transplant recipients鈥� kidney function in a phase 2 trial. Investigators now have data from a phase 3 trial with clazakizumab. The findings from the Phase 3 IMAGINE trial, the largest placebo-controlled study in kidney transplant recipients with caAMR, will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
For kidney transplant recipients experiencing antibody-mediated rejection, the current standard of care involves removing donor-specific antibodies (DSAs) through plasmapheresis (PLEX)鈥攁 procedure that removes antibodies from the plasma portion of the blood. Results from a recent clinical trial reveal that an investigational drug called imlifidase, which cleaves and inactivates the type of antibodies that include DSAs, is more effective than PLEX. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥�27.
The results of numerous high-impact phase 3 clinical trials that could affect kidney-related medical care will be presented in-person at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥�27.
Glucagon-like peptide-1-receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) are medications that are increasingly prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure. Reports of GLP-1RA鈥揳ssociated acute kidney injury (AKI) have emerged, but the risk of GLP-1RA鈥揳ssociated AKI among patients on anti-cancer drugs is unclear. Surprisingly, new research suggests that taking GLP-1RA is not associated with an increased risk of AKI in patients receiving anti-cancer therapies. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is an autoimmune kidney disease driven by immune cells that express a protein called CD38 on their surface. A recent Phase 2 trial revealed that felzartamab, an investigational anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, helps to reduce proteinuria and maintain patients鈥� kidney function. Investigators evaluated the molecular mechanisms underlying felzartamab鈥檚 potential efficacy in IgAN. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes, but it is unclear whether their effects differ based on patients鈥� age. A recent analysis of clinical trial data reveals that the SGLT2 inhibitor canagliflozin benefited patients across all age categories. The findings will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23 鈥� 27.
A recent analysis reveals that the number of chronic kidney disease (CKD) cases in women around the globe nearly tripled in the past three decades. Also, type 2 diabetes and hypertension were the leading causes of CKD-related deaths in women. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
Prior efforts to identify novel kidney biomarkers as risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression have typically evaluated proteins individually, which limits their prognostic power. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases鈥� (NIDDK鈥檚) CKD Biomarkers Consortium of investigators recently developed and tested novel dimensions of kidney health by combining a set of 17 urine and plasma biomarkers that had been individually associated with CKD progression. The research will be presented at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥� 27.
The results of numerous high-impact phase 3 clinical trials that could affect kidney-related medical care will be presented in-person at ASN Kidney Week 2024 October 23鈥�27.
