This infographic explores a contemporary strategy to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality associated with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).

This infographic explores the epidemiology, burden, and unmet need in IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Delving into the pathophysiology of IgAN, the infographic breaks down the different aspects of the kidney that are impacted by the inflammatory mediators endothelin-1 and angiotensin II.

Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common and early complication of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Patients with uncontrolled SHPT have high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels due to mineral metabolism disturbances of several biochemical parameters. These elevated PTH levels put patients at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and bone fractures. This infographic explores the current treatments available to treat mineral bone disease in CKD (CKD-MBD) and their failure to achieve balance across key disease parameters.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder with an incidence of 1 in 3,000–5,000.
