I don’t know how it is with you, but lupus has always been the disease that I hated the most. However, IgA nephropathy must be the one that I’m most frustrated about. Primarily, because I feel like there’s nothing I can do about it like I’m some kind of fraud just waiting for the patient to figure it all out and see straight through my incompetence. If you’re struggling with similar emotions, I strongly suggest that you listen to the IgA nephropathy podcast with our expert guest Professor Jonathan Barratt. Meet the man who boldly went where few have gone before to tackle this slow-paced monster and find solutions for all of us.

Is it itching you to know more about CKD-associated pruritus? Do not worry! ERA is there for you!

Can you imagine that the number of patients with CKD-associated pruritus in your Unit is more important than your estimations?

Do you also have a bunch of patients that you do not know what to do with their itch?

In order to know this and many more on CKD-associated pruritus check out the new episode from A Pinch of Salt, a new podcast series by ERA created to answer clinically relevant questions on various subjects in nephrology. We are here to ask the embarrassing itching questions for you! Today’s guest is an eminent leader in CKD-associated pruritus, Dr Antoine Lanot from Caen, France.

In the latest episode of A Pinch of Salt check out 'Proteinuria - the common suspect', the most obvious whodunit in the pathophysiological process of kidney disease. Things are changing and I start being confused with the labile landscape of proteinuria. A huge number of mechanisms are presented and a large number of molecules are circulating or will circulate soon. In this pleasant tsunami of new ideas on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of proteinuria and the treatment options accompanying them, we’ll try to ask for help from the experts.

We‘ll start unfolding this complex network with the precious assistance of a leader in the subject Professor Annette Bruchfeld from Linköping University, Sweden, the Chair of ERA Immunonephrology Working Group.
