Kidney and Bladder Disease Research

Nephrology and urology explore the kidneys and bladder, vital components of the urinary system responsible for filtering waste, balancing fluids, and maintaining overall health. While these processes often go unnoticed, diseases affecting the urinary tract can significantly impact quality of life and are a key focus of ongoing medical research. Here we bring together notable scientific stories from across Kudos examining kidney and bladder disorders, urinary health, and advances in clinical practice.

Topics include: chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), kidney stones (nephrolithiasis), urinary tract infections (UTIs), bladder disorders including overactive bladder and interstitial cystitis, prostate-related conditions, bladder and kidney cancers, dialysis and transplantation, biomarkers of renal function, and innovations in urological diagnostics and treatment.
