The End Stage Renal Disease Treatment Choices (ETC) Model is a mandatory payment model designed to encourage greater use of home dialysis and kidney transplantation among Medicare beneficiaries with kidney failure and to reduce Medicare expenditures while enhancing the quality of care offered to patients with kidney failure. The ETC model will run for six years, from January 1, 2021, to June 30, 2027. This article provides an overview of the ETC Model and analyzes its implications for dialysis providers.

Comprehensive review on neprilysin (NEP) inhibitors: design, structure-activity relationships, and clinical applications.

Front Pharmacol

December 2024

Department of Orthodontics, State Key Laboratory of Oral Diseases, West China School of Stomatology, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Neprilysin (NEP), a zinc-dependent membrane-bound metallopeptidase, regulates various bioactive peptides, particularly in kidneys, vascular endothelium, and the central nervous system. NEP's involvement in metabolizing natriuretic peptides, insulin, and enkephalins makes it a promising target for treating cardiovascular and Alzheimer's diseases. Several NEP inhibitors, such as sacubitril and omapatrilat, have been approved for clinical use, which inhibit NEP activity to prolong the bioactivity of beneficial peptides, thereby exerting therapeutic effects.
