The European Kidney Health Alliance hosted an online session on how a European network can move rare kidney disease care from managing symptoms towards real treatment options.
FEDERG joined the discussion to bring the patient perspective. Three points stood out:
- Diagnosis still takes too long. Many families wait years for a genetic confirmation.
- Registries need patients. Research only moves when patients take part and trust how their data is used.
- Access is uneven. Where you live in Europe still shapes the care you receive.
