ICYMI: Denosumab is a drug that can be used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) but has been linked with severe cases of hypocalcemia (low calcium levels). A recent study found that the overall risk of hypocalcemia with new denosumab use was low but increased substantially in those with more severe disease. Future studies should investigate strategies to mitigate hypocalcemia in this population https://lnkd.in/gFvbUwBf #KidneyDisease #research

MannKind announced today that it will proceed with a first-in-human Phase 1 study of nintedanib DPI (MNKD-201) for pulmonary fibrotic diseases – including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). According to @PulmonaryFibrosisFoundation, there are more than 250,000 Americans living with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) today with 50,000 new cases diagnosed each year. Sadly, as many as 40,000 Americans die from IPF each year. MannKind now has two studies in motion that will explore the potential treatment options for patients living with serious lung diseases. https://bit.ly/3Wio8lg #MNKD #Pulmonary #Lungs

Alpha₁-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD or alpha-1) is also known as genetic COPD, as the manifestations of AATD at the pulmonary level are related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This Alpha-1 Awareness Month, we want to highlight the testimony of Mariano Pastor, president of the Alpha-1 Spain Association. His story is very similar to that of other patients living with AATD: a wrong and late diagnosis. #WhatWeDoMatters #geneticcopd #Alpha1AwarenessMonth
Mariano, living with alpha₁-antitrypsin deficiency

🆕 study by Prof. Nahum Méndez-Sánchez, 500 participants. 📌 Although MASLD has a higher capture of lean patients compared to MAFLD, patients with MAFLD and MASLD have a worse metabolic profile than those with only MASLD. 📌 The study provide evidence that MAFLD better identifies patients likely to have a higher risk of liver fibrosis and of disease progression. Read it from here https://lnkd.in/dS5sTbz9 #livertwitter #medtwitter #MAFLD

CAR-T therapy continues to make headlines as it is studied across autoimmune diseases, including myositis. In the early stages of study in myositis, it is showing promising potential in fighting hard-to-treat cases. Read our update from Cure JM Executive Director Jim Minow on what we know currently about CAR-T in myositis and its prospects for the future https://lnkd.in/e8VziD_t

Did you know? MASH, or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis, is a serious, progressive, metabolic disease affecting the liver, which can be fatal if not managed properly. It is often described as a ‘silent disease’ due to the lack of specific symptoms in the early stages of the disease, which often contributes to a delay in diagnosis. 13 June is Global #FattyLiverDay 🌎 Learn more about living with the condition and the impact of a late diagnosis from Tania. Watch Tania’s story here: https://lnkd.in/dAw55qZV At Novo Nordisk, we are committed to continuing our research with the ambition of developing innovations that can help address the underlying cause of this disease. We hope to double diagnostic rates for people living with moderate to advanced MASH by 2027 💙

Fabry disease is progressive, multisystemic, and–if left untreated–fatal . It’s also largely underdiagnosed in at-risk populations and often isn’t identified until a patient has renal or cardiovascular complications.
