Can one kidney drug expand treatment to millions more patients?

from Medical News Podcast · host PeerDirect Publishing

This episode of the PeerDirect Medical News Podcast reviews three developments with potential implications across nephrology, oncology, and public health. Highlights include the FIND-CKD trial showing finerenone may slow disease progression in chronic kidney disease patients without diabetes, seven-year CROWN trial data demonstrating durable long-term disease control with lorlatinib in advanced ALK-positive lung cancer, and a JAMA Network Open study linking measles-related vitamin A misinformation to increased toxic exposures. Together, these findings underscore evolving treatment paradigms and the growing impact of health communication on patient outcomes.
