#42 A patient's view of nephrology, with Malene Deele
In this episode of A Pinch of Salt, you'll get the unique opportunity of trying to experience what it's actually like to be a dialysis patient, a kidney failure patient, what are the issues they're dealing with and how can we as physicians help them get through the day. I think it's one of the valuable opportunities that you really shouldn't miss because at the end of the day we really want to help them, don’t we? Listen to the episode with Malene Deele, a kidney failure patient, also chairman of the Danish Kidney Association.

#41 How to anticoagulate CKD patients with Atrial Fibrilation?, with Frida Welander
We’re focusing on a challenging topic: anticoagulation in CKD patients with atrial fibrillation. With up to 25% of CKD patients affected, managing this common arrhythmia is no easy task. How do we balance stroke prevention and bleeding risks? What’s the role of DOACs versus vitamin K antagonists? And should dialysis patients even receive anticoagulation? Are there any new treatment options? To help us untangle these questions, we’re joined by Frida Welander from Karolinska University, Sweden, an expert on the field. Don’t miss this insightful discussion.

#40 Avacopan in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis, with Lorraine Harper
Steroids have long been a cornerstone in treating ANCA-associated vasculitis, but their toxicity remains a significant challenge. Could Avacopan, a selective oral C5a receptor antagonist, provide a safer and more effective alternative? In this episode, you’ll hear about what’s new in the pathophysiology of ANCA vasculitis, current remission induction therapies, the place of Avacopan in the treatment protocols and future possibilities for managing this complex condition. Guiding us through these topics is Lorraine Harper, a distinguished specialist from the University of Birmingham, whose expertise in immunology and vasculitis offers invaluable insights into the latest advancements.
