Meet 2024 CDRP Symposium Speaker Michelle A. Josephson
Most people with kidney disease don’t know they have it. This is because there is no routine screening for it, even for patients who are high-risk.

Fortunately, in part thanks to advocacy efforts to raise awareness about these disparities, they are receiving more attention today, from both scientists and policymakers who are looking to develop innovative solutions and tackle root-cause drivers.
