Providence’s research in kidney health and diseases is on the cutting edge of identifying molecular signatures of diabetic kidney disease and development of new biomarkers and treatment targets. Our work is broadly translational from cellular and molecular biology to studies in mouse models to translational studies in humans and clinical trials of novel therapies. We also conduct research in a broad spectrum of other types of kidney diseases and treatments: glomerular diseases, hypertension and kidney vascular disease, nutritional approaches, patient-centered outcomes, and health services research. Importantly, Providence has funded a major initiative to establish a system-wide Chronic Kidney Disease registry that will greatly amplify both the quality-of-care we deliver and the research we conduct in our communities. We truly are at a tipping point. Astounding scientific breakthroughs will change the landscape toward kidney health and better life for people with kidney diseases.
