I think they needed to emphasize the renal news.
The burden on health care costs from dialysis is immense.
Forget heart attacks. Dialysis is a yearly expense and the toll on a patient's life is huge.
Strokes obviously rank up there due to disability as well but dialysis is a real $ drain.
If this drug did nothing else than raise GFR and keep people of dialysis, it would be a blockbuster.
