Diabetic kidney disease is one of the most common and serious complications of diabetes. To improve how it is addressed, the PERSONALISE-DKD project brings together researchers, clinicians and patients with a shared goal: to better understand how treatments work in people living with the disease and to support more personalized care.
Patient involvement is a key part of PERSONALISE-DKD. The project is collaborating with the European Kidney Patients’ Federation (EKPF), whose contribution helps ensure that the perspectives and experiences of people living with the condition remain central throughout the research.
This partnership reflects a growing approach in biomedical research: bringing patients, clinicians and researchers together so that results respond to real-world needs.
Through this collaboration, PERSONALISE-DKD aims to advance research that addresses the needs of people living with diabetes and kidney disease, and to contribute to care that is better suited to each patient.
