REAL WORLD   

FROM EVIDENCE TO PRACTICE. FROM PRACTICE TO IMPACT.

The 3rd Kidney Real-World Forum 2026 invites hospitals, healthcare systems, nephrologists, transplant teams, multidisciplinary teams, researchers, and healthcare innovators to showcase implemented models, pathways, protocols, and innovations that are transforming kidney care.

Categories

NEPHROLOGY

Innovative models improving prevention, diagnosis, treatment, continuity, access, quality, or outcomes in nephrology.

Examples: CKD • Glomerular disease • CKM • AKI • Dialysis • Home dialysis • Genetic nephrology • Onconephrology • Transition care • Digital kidney care

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION

Innovative models improving the donor and recipient journey, transplantation outcomes, safety, quality, and long-term graft survival.

Examples: Pre-transplant • Living donation • Deceased donation • Organ utilization • High-risk transplantation • Precision immunosuppression • Rejection surveillance • Post-transplant care

CLINICAL PATHWAY, PROTOCOL & CARE INNOVATION

Evidence-based pathways, protocols, algorithms, care bundles, or digital innovations that have successfully changed clinical practice.

Examples: CKD pathways • AKI protocols • IgAN pathways • Genetic testing • DSA/crossmatch algorithms • Rejection protocols • Immunosuppression • DGF pathways • AI-enabled care

WHAT MAKES A WINNING SUBMISSION?
