New research results for people with chronic kidney disease and acute kidney injur! 🎉

Dr Bryan Conway and his team have identified a group of cells in the kidney that emerge during chronic kidney disease, or after acute kidney injury, that lead to a loss of kidney function.

There are days in life that shake you.

I’m shattered 💔 to share that I just found out that the US Government terminated my 2024 NIH Director’s Early Independence Award (~$2 million), threatening my long-promised assistant professor job at @Columbia & academic career... 1/🧵

[Kidney Research UK @Kidney_Research]

In newly published results, Dr Fiona Chapman, Professor Neeraj Dhaun and the team from the University of Edinburgh conducted the first clinical trial looking at the effects of apelin in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

CKD is a growing public health concern, with around 7.2 million people currently living with the disease.

Read the full story and what these promising results will mean for the future of patients living with CKD.
