Welcome to KidneyDAO, a community-owned network funding groundbreaking research to advance kidney health. Together, we're accelerating innovation, improving care access, and transforming treatment options to reverse Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progression.
As conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure rise at an alarming rate, we face an unprecedented challenge in kidney health. While medical advances help people live longer, access to early detection and specialized treatment remains out of reach for the vast majority.
800 million people suffer from chronic kidney disease (CDK) worldwide, over 10% of our population.
Treatment costs per individual for CDK are $100,000 annually in the US, with medicare spending reaching 130B.
Only 20-30% of people with early-stage kidney disease are diagnosed.
Our Human-Centered Approach puts patients first, focusing on reversing CKD progression, reducing treatment costs, and advancing innovative transplant solutions. We improve care accessibility and combat organ trafficking, ensuring kidney health innovations reach everyone who needs them.
Decentralized Science drives our innovative approach to kidney health research, uniting a global network of experts and advocates. Through transparent funding and open collaboration, we accelerate breakthroughs from research to real-world treatments.
Our global community democratizes and accelerates kidney health research through rapid funding of promising projects, ensuring breakthroughs reach everyone worldwide.
The KLF15 Agonist Phase I project targets albuminuria in chronic kidney disease, offering a potentially safer and more effective alternative to glucocorticoid therapy for conditions like FSGS and MCD. With promising efficacy and reduced toxicity, this novel approach is progressing towards patent licensing and IND roadmap development, aiming for accelerated FDA approval.
