NephU 1^st Anniversary: Thank You Community!

July 1, 2021 marks the first Anniversary of NephU, when we “reinvented” our nephrology community, evolving from “PKDnetwork” to NephU. In doing so, we enhanced our mission to provide healthcare professionals with engaging, informative, evidence-based content and educational events on a broader array of nephrology topics. Over the course of this year, NephU has become a bigger, broader, and better nephrology health information hub, collaborating with health care professionals across the continuum to improve kidney health. We extend a huge thank you to all our members for your continued dedication, support, and engagement with NephU. Happy First Anniversary!

Proudly Celebrating

It is amazing how much we have grown in this past year and by coming together, we can better understand the needs of people living with kidney disease and create real change by promoting kidney health.”

“In its first year, NephU has provided a needed clearinghouse for information for the patient with kidney disease, the wide spectrum of healthcare professionals giving care to these patients, and a community to discuss the effective management of kidney disease and other related conditions. NANT is proud to be one of the first supporters of NephU and looks forward to effective collaborations in the future.“
