Steroids are useful (and have bad side effects) in patients with podocytopathies.
Starting is easy, but stopping can be challenging.
Are longer courses of steroids better for longer remissions? How quickly do you taper? 🐇🐢

Can just 4 doses of an SGLT2i prevent AKI after cardiac surgery? The MERCURI-2 trial put dapagliflozin to the test. But is the benefit a treat or a trick?🫀💊
