Had this presentation last week invited by Danish Society of Nephrology to speak on ANCA Vasculitis: is there a place for plasmapheresis?
In my opinion YES in some specific circumstances.

Our new article Multi-omics of kidney biopsies in ANCA-associated GN:
🔹 Complement activation precedes visible glomerular injury
🔹 Monocytes dominate the infiltrate
🔹 Novel TRIM21/25 axis + noncanonical IFN signaling
🔹 PD-L1 checkpoint failure
doi.org/10.1002/acr2.90114
Completely agree on changing nefro AAV end points to measurable factors!

We participated in this trial providing clinical data but didn’t having part in analyzing the results and conclusions. Shocking. open.substack.com/pub/autoim…

🌟 Join us for the 64th episode of A pinch of salt for an in-depth conversation with David Jayne on the evolving landscape of ANCA-associated vasculitis.
🎙️ We explore the shift from the traditional cyclophosphamide + glucocorticoid approach to biologics like rituximab and emerging targeted therapies, including avacopan, highlighting how clinicians balance efficacy, safety, and quality of life.
🎧 Listen now to gain insights into the future of treatment and what may define the next decade in care 👉 bit.ly/4koNiIv

📣 Excited to get started at today’s meeting for @GlomCon Foundation’s Rare Kidney Disease Journal — a new peer-reviewed journal developed in partnership with Springer Nature; with Editor-in-Chief: Andreas Kronbichler
Link: link.springer.com/journal/44…
This initiative represents an important step toward building a dedicated global platform for rare and complex kidney diseases, uniting investigators, clinicians, pathologists, geneticists, and innovators across disciplines. Looking forward to shaping a journal that advances rigorous science, meaningful collaboration, and real impact for patients worldwide.
The future is bright.
