Renal

The Renal Specialty Group is one of 23 Specialty Groups which provide national networks of topic-specific expertise. These groups are key to the success of the CCRN. They work at both national and local levels to ensure the successful delivery of research within their specialties. This means ensuring that studies are delivered to target and on time.

The remit of the Renal Specialty Group is to support a national portfolio of structured research studies in the field of renal medicine, including studies in the following areas:

Anaemia
Hyperphosphataemia
Mineral and bone disorders
Transplantation
Haemodialysis
Peritoneal dialysis
Chronic kidney disease
Cardiovascular complications
Primary care nephrology
Acute kidney injury
Urology
Glomerulonephritis and vasculitis
Rare renal diseases
Genetic disorders

As would be expected there is some overlap of studies with other Speciality Groups and also with some of the NIHR Topic Specific Clinical Research Networks, particularly Diabetes, Cardiovascular and Primary Care. The Renal Speciality Group is working in partnership with these related Speciality Groups and research networks to ensure that patients are recruited for suitable studies in a timely manner.
