Twice monthly (aspirational) recap of the NephJC journal club. NephJC reviews the most important manuscripts which are driving nephrology forward and improving our understanding of the kidney.

great way to stay up to date on all things kidney. hosts are delightful and incredibly knowledgeable. I turned this on to put myself to sleep one night but they managed to keep me awake and wanting more so I had to switch to a lesser podcast.  will definitely be a regular part of my rotation. thank you!!! 

Gerald @ GrepMed

podcast i didn’t realize was missing from my life...

Thankful for a place to hear all their brilliance at once place

Excellent!

This week we discussed the CREDENCE trial published in the NEJM, on the effect of Canaglifozin on diabetic nephropathy. There was lots to discuss so it may be a long podcast.The article is available here.The NephJC summary can be read here, with links to the visual abstract, and the wrapup.Links from the show:Swapnil’s first post at AJKDblog on SGLT2i in 2014!

This week we discussed the CREDENCE trial published in the NEJM, on the effect of Canaglifozin on diabetic nephropathy. There was lots to discuss so it may be a long podcast.The article is available <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=30990260" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>.The NephJC summary can be read <a href="http://www.nephjc.com/news/credence" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>, with links to the visual abstract, and the wrapup.
