Have You Heard Of Any New Breakthroughs For Chronic Kidney Disease?

I have been doing some research and it looks like researchers have developed a method that can change the way we are diagnosed and treated for CKD. Scientists report significant progress in trying to develop nephron progenitor cells. This is supposed to form the kidney's filtration system.

What do you think the future holds for people with chronic kidney disease? We would like to hear from the community. Diane (Team Team Member)

  1. A recent significant breakthrough in chronic kidney disease (CKD) treatment is the FDA approval of Jardiance. It has been shown to effectively slow the progression of CKD and reduce the risk of kidney failure. Has anyone's doctor started them on this medication? This seems to be a game-changer. What are your thoughts on this? We would like to hear from you. Diane (Team Member?
