           The optimal balance between decongestion and kidney function preservation remains uncertain in patients with heart failure. #ASNCJASN research investigates, finding that improved congestion is associated with lower mortality risk, except when eGFR decline is higher than 40%.

             Outcomes and Mortality in Calciphylaxis: A Multicenter Update 
          
            
            pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
              While differences in survival emerged between institutions, the overall 1-year disease-specific mortality of 28.88% is lower than historic (45% to 80%), suggesting better patient outcomes with time.
