A true honor to represent @ISNkidneycare at the 2025 Congress of the Chinese Society of Nephrology last week in 🇨🇳 My sincere thanks to the organizers and hosts for their hospitality, generosity, and the opportunity to exchange ideas and strengthen collaborations in kidney care.
We are honored to participate in the Annual Congress of the Chinese Society of Nephrology 2025 (CCSN2025). President Marcello Tonelli delivered an engaging presentation at the opening ceremony and also gave a speech about "The hidden link between hearing loss and kidney health."

A study examining the past 16 years reveals that Alberta’s physician shortage isn’t just about numbers; it's about people being older and sicker. "The solution isn't just more doctors....we need...primary care teams... in one place, under one roof" https://t.co/ZZURuqlHdR

Study shows current kidney failure registries may miss up to 2/3 of incident failure cases, misjudge onset timing, & under-represent older adults & women. Expanding data collection with eGFR could boost early detection, equity in care, & better outcomes 👇 https://t.co/w4vKl8TmNI

New meta-analysis of 116 RCTs (+200K patients) found interventions using EHRs can help reduce hospital readmissions (17% fewer in 30 days, and 28% in 90 days). EHRs have the potential to improve patient & health system outcomes but more research is needed https://t.co/ZCMi6mpK8O
