In 2021, a work group of international experts published an update to the 2012 iteration of this guideline. To do so they reviewed the latest evidence through a systematic literature review, with the aim of providing a useful resource for clinicians caring for individuals with glomerular disease through actionable recommendations.
In this episode we speak to Professor Jürgen Floege, co-chair of the work group, to hear his insights on the key takeaways, and the clinical data that has emerged since the guideline update was made.
