Develop therapies to reverse deterioration in renal function

Progressive decline of function in CKD is common and for some/many patients inevitable. We need to develop therapies that will improve GFR and tubular function, not just slow the deterioration.

    Genetically targeted therapies may well offer potential in this regard. We may be able to alter fibrosis, AKI and other factors that impact progressive decline

    This is a VERY worthy goal, but perhaps too broadly worded to convert into a specifically funded research program.

    Therapies which stop or even reverse CKD progression, appear to realistically achievable goal in the relatively near future, hence should be a TOP priority. Years, NOT decades.
