Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pitstop: Global Guidelines: U.S. Insights from KDOQI - Improving Anemia Management in CKD
Q: How has iron management evolved with the new guidelines?
Guidelines now advocate preemptive iron testing alongside anemia screening and support treating iron deficiency even before anemia develops when indicated, moving beyond the older approach of testing for anemia first and then pursuing iron as a separate step.
Pitstop: Global Guidelines: U.S. Insights from KDOQI - Improving Anemia Management in CKD
Q: What do the KDIGO guidelines say about when to use ESAs versus HIF-PHIs in dialysis patients?
The guidelines prefer sticking with ESAs in most dialysis patients, given decades of experience, while acknowledging HIF-PHIs as a potential option in select cases, pending more long-term safety data.
Pitstop: Global Guidelines: U.S. Insights from KDOQI: Optimizing ADPKD Evaluation and Treatment
Q: What are some barriers to genetic testing being widely adopted in PKD practice, and how might guidelines help overcome them?
Barriers include cost, insurance coverage, interpretation of variants of unknown significance, and ensuring patients understand and consent to testing; guidelines help by clarifying when testing is most informative, promoting better pathways to interpretation, and addressing how results should influence management and family planning.
Pitstop: Global Guidelines: U.S. Insights from KDOQI: Optimizing ADPKD Evaluation and Treatment
Q: My question for you both is, how do you feel like the integration of genetic testing, particularly for PKD, has been in the United States so far?
Genetic testing has evolved from being expensive and less accessible to more widely available, with broader gene panels and routine use in some larger practices, though it is not yet standard everywhere due to interpretation challenges and variable insurance coverage.
Adolescence to Adult Care Transition
Q: How do you approach the conversations about long-term outcomes and independence with these adolescent patients?
I discuss the goals of care from the patient's perspective and emphasize their control over their condition during the transition.
