Unscripted the AMCP Podcast: Dr. Kartik Kalra, Clinical Nephrologist at Geisinger Medical Center

On this episode, host Fred Goldstein invites Dr. Kartik Kalra, Clinical Nephrologist at Geisinger Medical Center. We discuss IgA nephropathy and the newly released, comprehensive 2025 KDIGO guidelines. We explore what IgAN is, why diagnosis is often delayed, how it commonly presents, and the impact the disease can have over a patient’s lifetime. Dr. Kalra also discusses what prompted the latest guideline revision, how thinking around IgAN has evolved, and what these changes signal for clinicians, health systems, and the managed care community. This podcast is supported by an independent medical education grant from Calliditas Therapeutics. AMCP offers CPE for this podcast through December 31, 2026.
