Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Unified Community Results in Bipartisan Efforts to Improve Kidney Health
Q: What are the main policy opportunities discussed and how might they be implemented?
Opportunities include passing Living Donor protections, expanding donor support, funding for kidney research via NIH, creating an Officer of Kidney Health and Transplantation, and advancing interoperability with standardized data across HHS agencies; these would be pursued through bipartisan collaboration and ready-to-implement policy proposals.
A Unified Community Results in Bipartisan Efforts to Improve Kidney Health
Q: What happened at the briefing and what were the key takeaways for policymakers?
The briefing showcased a unified kidney community with broad support from patient and professional organizations, demonstrating aligned priorities and a readiness to advance legislation, especially around living donation, research funding, and early interventions.
25 Years of Estimating Kidney Function
Q: Why did the Task Force decide to remove race from the GFR equation instead of simply removing it from all data immediately?
Because excluding race would discard data from thousands of self-identified Black participants and harm the generalizability of the model; they sought a balanced approach, ultimately advocating for race-free equations supported by cystatin C and multi-ethnic validation.
25 Years of Estimating Kidney Function
Q: Can you give me a sense as to how much of an improvement the MDRD-based estimates were over the Cot-Cross-Gault model?
The MDRD equation reduced bias and improved precision compared with Cot-Cross-Gault, leading to better estimates of GFR and fewer systematic errors, though no model was perfect; the MDRD equation represented a meaningful advancement in accuracy.
EP&R Episode Four: Measles in Individuals Living with Kidney Diseases
Q: What about vaccination and boosters for adults at risk?
Most adults who had two doses as children are adequately protected for life; those at high risk or with incomplete vaccination should receive two doses when indicated, and special attention should be given to staff in healthcare settings and individuals traveling internationally.
