Our Ren-Nu™ Scientific Director Melina Messing (PHD) had the best time at the PKD Walk in New York City this weekend! 🧡

We are happy to be present at this event and to connect in person with so many members of the PKD community.

A very special thank you to Dr. Heedeok Han and Rothman, Robin Rothman for organizing this great event and bringing everyone together. Also thank you to Bill Brazell for also representing SBN.

There is something really special about being surrounded by patients, families, advocates, researchers, and supporters who all share the same goal: improving the lives of people affected by PKD.

We are grateful to have been part of it and already looking forward to the next one! 🧡

Creatinine isn’t the only way to measure kidney function. 🧪

In this clip, we break down Cystatin C—a blood marker that can provide another perspective on kidney filtration and may be useful when interpreting kidney function alongside creatinine.

Understanding your numbers can help you have more informed conversations about your kidney health.

🎥 Watch to learn more about Cystatin C and what it can tell us about kidney function.
