Description

The mission of the Australasian Kidney Trials Network (AKTN) is to deliver high quality clinical trials to improve the health and wellbeing of people with kidney disease. AKTN conducts and supports a broad range of research concerned with the prevention and treatment of kidney disease, emphasising patient-centred outcomes. The scope of research includes:

• clinical trials in both paediatric and adult populations
• secondary prevention trials in high risk populations such as those with diabetes, Indigenous groups, and those with proteinuria
• trials in patients with end-stage kidney disease, in particular the renal dialysis and renal transplant populations
• trials in patients with acute renal failure.
