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 Dr Richard Glassock, member of the work group, to hear his insights on the key takeaways from the guideline, and what has changed in this iteration.
