Kidney research at an inflection point: why the next decade must be different

Key takeaways

This is an opinion piece in a kidney journal, not a study, so there are no results. The authors argue that kidney disease is growing worldwide while research stays split up and short of money. They call for labs, doctors and data systems to work together, and for fair access to be built in from the start. Nothing here changes treatment today.
