Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Richard Glassock, MD, and the Historical Arc of Glomerular Disease
Q: What is the current trajectory for diagnosis and treatment in glomerular diseases?
Non-invasive diagnostics are expanding via serology, proteomics, and biomarkers, but biopsy remains important for understanding molecular pathways and guiding newer, mechanism-driven therapies, with several drugs approved recently for IgA nephropathy and FSGS.
Richard Glassock, MD, and the Historical Arc of Glomerular Disease
Q: How did classification evolve from morphology to mechanism?
He explains the shift from pattern-based, morphology-focused classification to mechanistic approaches, driven by advances in immunology, electron microscopy, and immunofluorescence, which enabled more rational treatment strategies.
Richard Glassock, MD, and the Historical Arc of Glomerular Disease
Q: Tell us about your earliest experiences with the biopsy and what it felt like.
The guest recalls performing his first biopsy in 1963 using a Vim Silverman needle, outlining the kidney with indigo ink, and the procedure yielding a good specimen without complications; this sparked a lifelong fascination with glomerular disease.
AI Beyond Eligibility for Transplant
Q: How has AI evolved in your work, and what roles do predictive AI and generative AI play?
Predictive AI helps identify patients at risk of dropout and track progression, while generative AI supports patient education and engagement tools like chatbots, all designed to complement clinicians and healthcare teams.
AI Beyond Eligibility for Transplant
Q: What are the challenges patients face before they get to the transplant evaluation moment?
Barriers include lack of awareness about required tests, financial and social hurdles, and difficulty coordinating timely health improvements to become eligible, leading to a substantial dropout before waitlisting.
