@alanyuneph.bsky.social trying to learn about CLDN2 a bit more. I was confused by the cellular localization in the proximal tubule reported in the human protein atlas: none in microvilli. As a tight junction, shouldn’t it be primarily apical?

Points acknowledged but the graph allows one to see the relative changes and the shape of things that came/to come. The losartan curve is our progress vs placebo, while the others show the progress against losartan. Overall one may expect an effect similar to losartan under single agent adoption

Oh I’m interested. Clever and fancy. But the question is how quickly it’ll become clinically available. I suppose it’ll need further validation here in North America

even in their 2024 guidelines they downgrade the level of evidence for resistant hypertension.
Yes, spiro causes hyperK but that is easily managed with diuretics, especially in CKD.
