Kidney Precision Medicine Project (KPMP)
In the hopes of discovering therapeutic targets for acute kidney injury, which currently has no specific therapy, the NIH/NIDDK (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases) has created the Kidney Precision Medicine Program (KPMP) consortium. The KPMP project is composed of recruitment sites, tissue interrogation sites, and central hubs. Together, the project intends to create a kidney tissue atlas, define disease subgroups, inform critical cells and pathways, and identify targets for novel therapies through kidney biopsies from participants with AKI or CKD. More information on the Kidney Precision Medicine Project can be found on the NIDDK and KPMP website.
