#PLEX in #ANCA is perhaps less necessary due to improved efficacy of our treatments - So, personalise your approach, discuss severe DAH + RPGN cases in your MDT, ensure safe practice! Thanks to #ERA25 for letting me debate our dilemma whether to PLEX or not 👍

Happy to share this slide presented by #ERA President Roser Torra at #ERA25 with the team of German minister of health Nina Warken @bmg-bund.bsky.social. I am looking forward to the support of the @bmg-bund.bsky.social for World Kidney Day March 9th 2026. We need a „Gesunde-Niere-Gesetz“.

Pretty egregious error from this book: The authors say Swedish deaths fell by 2.3% during the pandemic, proving that the country's lax lockdown strategy worked. But they misread their source: Mortality is only down if you remove the COVID deaths. research.abo.fi/ws/portalfil...
