We spend half our lives worrying about how bad creatinine is.. then keep using it anyway.
What if we could measure bedside GFR - no serial blood samples? Let’s talk transdermal GFR (tGFR).

2/ Being part of the #ISNWCN social media team was energizing. Meeting some people for the first time, reconnecting with others I already knew, and learning throughout, it made me appreciate our community even more. Grateful to help amplify it
35 hours of travel to reach #ISNWCN, and every second was worth it. Standing here, surrounded by colleagues and friends from across the world, the only feeling is privilege - grateful to have made it, grateful to learn, grateful to share this space with a global kidney community
✨My short recap
Health is something we all share.
This #WorldHealthDay, ISN highlights the power of collaboration and science to improve health for all. Through tools, education, programs, and advocacy, we’re strengthening capacity and advancing kidney care worldwide.

🏃♀️🌏 Moving for better health.
This #WorldPhysicalActivityDay, ISN reflects on #WorldKidneyDay's 5K Run in Yokohama during #ISNWCN.
For people with kidney disease, physical activity helps manage blood pressure, support heart health, and improve wellbeing.
Every step counts.
