💙 Today is #PKDAwarenessDay 💜

PKD is one of the most common inherited kidney diseases, affecting millions worldwide and a leading cause of kidney failure.

Let’s raise awareness, support patients, and push research forward.

⚖️ Personalised medicine isn’t just science — it’s ethics.

Who should decide how far is too far?
PICKED is exploring privacy, fairness & patient choice in kidney care.

What do you think matters most?

💡 Personalized dialysis is coming!

⏱️ Real-time monitoring of toxin removal
🧬 Tailored prescriptions for each patient
⚙️ Smarter convection control

Would you support wearable tech to help personalize dialysis?

💊 Not every CKD patient responds the same — so why give them the same drugs?

😊 Some benefit
😑 Some see no change
🙁 Some face side effects

PICKED is working to predict responses & personalise treatment for better outcomes.

📊 What are multiparametric biomarkers?

They combine omics data (proteomics, metabolomics, genomics) with clinical data (lab results, imaging, history) to predict CKD progression & guide personalised care.

🔬 What is precision nephrology?

It’s kidney care tailored to the individual — powered by omics, predictive models & real-time monitoring.

At PICKED, we’re building tools for better, personalised CKD treatment.

🔬 What is omics?
It’s the large-scale study of genes, proteins & metabolites — and it’s transforming CKD research.

In PICKED, omics helps us detect disease earlier, personalize treatment & move toward precision nephrology.
