A drug called sparsentan has now received FDA approval for FSGS (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis). This is important because FSGS is a condition where patients often have significant protein leak, and treatment options have been limited. Sparsentan works by targeting pathways involved in proteinuria reduction, and studies have shown it can help reduce protein leak in selected patients. But this is important ⚠️ Sparsentan (FSGS) — who is it for? Key cut-offs (from trials / approval context) - eGFR: generally ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m² - Proteinuria: significant protein leak (often UPCR ≥ 1.5 g/g) - Diagnosis: biopsy-proven primary FSGS (not secondary causes) What this means for you It’s a positive step forward in kidney care. But more importantly:Understanding your own reports (protein, eGFR, diagnosis) matters before thinking about treatments like this. New treatments are coming — which is good. But the basics still matter: - controlling BP - reducing protein leak - staying consistent Comment below - what do you think?

Arjun sir I have proteinuria . One medicine Kerendia 20 mg has been prescribed by nephrologist. But the problem is that this medicine causes high potassium and increases creatinine levels.. Doctor is giving priority to proteinuria. I am in a fix. My creatinine level is 2.69.. Your guidance please sir. I am 62 years of age. Regards

Dr Upma Bhatia walked us through three real patients — No CKD, Stage 2, and Stage 4 — and built a different plate for each. Massive turnout, even bigger questions. If you missed it (or want to rewatch with your blood report in hand), the full recording is now in the Webinars section of the club. What we covered: - The KDIGO 2020 protein dial — exactly how much you need at every stage - The three minerals that decide everything: potassium, phosphorus, salt - Why "low salt" salt-substitutes can be dangerous in CKD 4–5 - The hidden phosphorus trap most CKD patients miss - The thali principle — why a properly built Indian plate is already a complete-protein meal - A live sample day-on-a-plate hitting 80g+ of protein A huge thank you to our two patient volunteers who shared their actual labs — your courage helped the whole community learn. Two things to do now: 1. Watch the replay this weekend with your most recent blood report next to you. 2. Drop your questions below — Dr Upma and I will answer them in this thread before next week's session. If you found it useful, do give feedback on google - https://share.google/pIu8oxOMzeJ0vM11U — Dr Arjun

I am Pankaj Sinha and I am from Patna. My creatinine level is 2.69 two weeks before and had high micro albumin in urine. I am having CKD since 10 years
