A simple blood test could reveal kidney disease earlier so more can be done to halt progression, while also allowing better ongoing management of kidney health by simpler monitoring.

Scientists have made a remarkable breakthrough in kidney research. In a paper published in the journal Communications Biology, a team of researchers at Kyoto University led by Ramin Sadeghian present ...

How can long-term space flight influence astronaut health, and specifically their organs? This is what a recent study published in Nature Communications hopes to address as a large team of ...

A loss of salt and body fluid can stimulate kidney regeneration and repair in mice, according to a new study. This innate regenerative response relies on a small population of kidney cells in a region ...

Kidney health is often overlooked, but these small, often underestimated organs play a crucial role in supporting our overall health and wellbeing. From filtering waste to regulating fluid balance and ...

A loss of salt and body fluid can stimulate kidney regeneration and repair in mice, according to a NIH-funded study led by USC Stem Cell scientist Janos Peti-Peterdi and published in The Journal of ...

In a recent article published in the journal Nutrients, researchers estimated the association of coffee consumption and genetic predisposition to caffeine metabolism on kidney function.

Our kidneys operate as filters in our body, which eliminate blood waste, along with excess water and toxic substances from the body. A decrease in kidney function leads to waste accumulation ...
