Researchers compared incidence of mortality and kidney failure between patients with CKD and rare kidney diseases. The FDA recalled a batch of Dr. Reddy’s Cinacalcet Tablets, a treatment for chronic kidney disease (CKD). Novo Nordisk will terminate development of ocedurenone for treatment of hypertension in chronic kidney disease. Drug stewardship to ensure the safety and effectiveness of medications is especially important in patients with CKD. A study examined gestational exposure to maternal systemic glucocorticoids and risk of developing CKD in childhood. Previous research exploring an association between CKD and age-related macular degeneration has been inconclusive. Researchers identified risk factors for nonconcordance with CKD screening and treatment guidelines in patients with diabetes. A study examined whether restarting RASi after discontinuation would improve kidney outcomes.

ProKidney halted one of two phase 3 trials of rilparencel, or REACT, a cell therapy for kidney disease. Hilary Hatch discussed a survey finding that patient-provider conversations and patient activation play a key role in CKD. A study examined the association of HbA1c with mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes.
