Topics<br />
Keeping the inner body environment<br />
in a homeostatic<br />
balance is essential for<br />
proper body function and<br />
thus for healthy life. The<br />
National Centre of Competence<br />
in Research (<strong>NCCR</strong>)<br />
“Kidney.CH - Kidney Control<br />
of Homeostasis” investigates<br />
the central role that<br />
kidneys play in controlling<br />
this vital equilibrium. It integrates<br />
leading Swiss specialist<br />
in experimental and<br />
clinical nephrology from all<br />
Swiss Medical Universities<br />
and some major hospitals.<br />
Chronic Kidney Disease<br />
(CKD) has increased dramatically<br />
in recent years<br />
leading worldwide to an<br />
estimated 850 000 deaths<br />
every year. Patients with<br />
CKD are further at high risk<br />
for other diseases such as<br />
hypertension, atherosclerosis<br />
and ostoeporosis to<br />
name just a few. The goal<br />
of Kidney.CH is to advance<br />
knowledge in order to provide<br />
a scientific basis for<br />
the potential development<br />
of novel preventive, diagnostic<br />
and therapeutic approaches.<br />
