When people with diabetes and high blood pressure develop chronic kidney disease, determining which condition is damaging the kidneys often requires an invasive biopsy.

To evaluate whether this distinction could be made without biopsy, researchers extended a whole-body vascular model with a detailed renal network and used virtual clinical trials to identify cardiovascular biomarkers that differentiate diabetic from hypertensive kidney disease. Key findings included:

🔹 The pulsatility index measured in the main renal artery showed strong diagnostic discrimination, correctly distinguishing diabetic kidney disease from hypertensive kidney disease in most cases.
🔹 Combining pulsatility index with resistive index substantially improved classification performance.
🔹 A three-biomarker combination based on mean, systolic, and diastolic blood flow rates achieved the highest predictive accuracy.

If validated in clinical trials, these biomarker strategies could enable clinicians to identify the cause of kidney damage non-invasively.

2 Days to Go!
In Silico Medicine & Beyond: A New VPH Chapter is almost here!
In just two days, our community will gather for a milestone event exploring how #DigitalTwins, #AI, and simulation are transforming healthcare.
We’re honoured to welcome an incredible lineup of speakers, each bringing a unique lens to the future of in silico medicine:
Prof. Liesbet Geris (VPH Director) – presenting a forward-looking vision for VPH and #insilicomedicine over the next decade
· Dr Eric Vibert, MD, PhD (Université Paris-Saclay / INSERM) – on digital twins in liver surgery and how technology is transforming the operating room
· Tina Morrison (EQTY Lab) – on regulatory innovation and trust as enablers of responsible adoption
· Steven Bourke (PersonalPulse) – on the value of mutual creation with patients

Together, they’ll explore how science, policy, and clinical practice can work hand-in-hand to bring in silico medicine from research to real-world impact.

📅 This Wednesday, 19 November 2025
