💊 Not every CKD patient responds the same — so why give them the same drugs?

😊 Some benefit
😑 Some see no change
🙁 Some face side effects

PICKED is working to predict responses & personalise treatment for better outcomes.

📊 What are multiparametric biomarkers?

They combine omics data (proteomics, metabolomics, genomics) with clinical data (lab results, imaging, history) to predict CKD progression & guide personalised care.

🔬 What is precision nephrology?

It’s kidney care tailored to the individual — powered by omics, predictive models & real-time monitoring.

At PICKED, we’re building tools for better, personalised CKD treatment.

🔬 What is omics?
It’s the large-scale study of genes, proteins & metabolites — and it’s transforming CKD research.

In PICKED, omics helps us detect disease earlier, personalize treatment & move toward precision nephrology.
