Expert perspective reveals technological and therapeutic transformations in kidney disease care, highlighting a shift toward precision medicine by 2050.
As medicine advances at an unprecedented pace, the field of nephrology is poised for transformative change. By 2050, breakthroughs in kidney disease prevention, dialysis, transplantation, and omics-driven precision medicine could redefine patient care and outcomes. Here, we share our perspectives on the challenges faced and how changes in health policy, emerging technologies, novel therapies, and data-driven approaches might shape the future of nephrology. From innovative dialysis solutions to xenotransplantation and AI-powered diagnostics, we explore the possibilities that could revolutionise kidney health in the decades to come.
