Accredited By

Target Audience

This activity is intended for nephrologists, primary care, internal medicine, and other clinicians interested in treating patients with Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis and/or IgA Nephropathy.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Discuss challenges in the care and pharmacologic management of patients with FSGS or IgAN
  • Outline emerging therapies and pathways for FSGS and IgAN
  • Interpret clinical trial data and endpoints from clinical trials with emerging therapies

Activity Description

In this brief video, Dr. Edgar Lerma explores data on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) coming out of ASN 2022. Dr. Lerma discusses current challenges in diagnosing and managing these kidney diseases, and how emerging data and therapies may impact current clinical practice.

Statement of Educational Need

The treatment of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is challenging due to disease heterogeneity and a lack of therapeutic approaches. A number of therapies, including some with novel mechanisms of action, are under investigation for treating these progressive kidney diseases. Therefore, clinicians need up-to-date understanding of these therapies and available efficacy and safety data to incorporate them into treatment paradigms once they are available.

Agenda

Dr. Lerma will discuss current barriers, emerging evidence, and strategies to incorporate advances.
