Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition that begins with tissue damage and gradually leads to loss of kidney ...

Using cutting-edge genetic engineering, researchers have developed a model to study hereditary kidney disease with the help of tropical frogs. The method allows them to collect large amounts of data ...

Kidneys work to constantly filter blood and remove toxins from the body. Conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) are characterized by a reduced ability to perform this essential function. CKD ...

Research has shown that a kidney transplant improves survival rates and quality of life for the hundreds of thousands of Americans with end-stage renal disease compared to remaining on dialysis.

Researchers have developed the first model of kidney filtration in the lab that accurately mimics human kidney physiology. The model represents a leap in chronic kidney disease research and could help ...

The model aims to increase kidney transplants, improve care quality, and reduce disparities nationwide, involving 103 hospitals in diverse regions. Hospitals are incentivized to perform more ...
