Renes Care maintains a strong belief that kidney health requires more than education—it requires transformation. The longstanding objective has been to empower individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) by offering knowledge, practical tools, and community support. The latest initiative moves those efforts into a new dimension.
🧬 Introducing Kidney Twin™
Kidney Twin™ represents a pioneering digital innovation: a personalized “digital twin” of kidney function, intended to support slower CKD progression through small yet effective lifestyle adjustments.
- Personalized – Models kidney health indicators such as eGFR, albuminuria, and blood pressure.
- Actionable – Suggests micro‑steps that align with everyday routines, including hydration, nutrition, and activity habits.
- Measurable – Tracks how individual habits may correlate with important health indicators over time.
- Safe & Supportive – Provides educational context and proactive nudges, aiming to reduce uncertainty and overreaction.
đź“Š Kidney Resilience Index (KRI)
As part of the Kidney Twin™ experience, Renes Care is developing a proprietary scoring system known as the Kidney Resilience Index (KRI) — a unified metric (0–100 scale) that reflects an individual’s overall kidney health trajectory and self-management trends.
The KRI is being designed to combine insights from:
- eGFR stability and trend
- Albuminuria (UACR) levels
- Blood pressure consistency
- Engagement with healthy lifestyle micro‑steps
- Broader wellness inputs (e.g., sleep, activity)
The goal is to make kidney care more interactive, visual, and motivational, by showing how small choices may influence long-term patterns. Over time, the KRI may assist users in recognizing progress, maintaining habits, or discussing trends with care teams.
⚠️ KRI is not a diagnostic or medical-grade score, and should not replace professional medical advice. It is intended as an educational and motivational tool within the Kidney Twin™ platform.
🌟 Why It Matters
Annually, many individuals experience silent or unexpected CKD progression. Kidney Twin™ and the KRI aim to address this gap—by translating day-to-day actions into meaningful patterns that support awareness, engagement, and potentially better outcomes.
🔜 What’s Next
- Development of the initial version of Kidney Twin™ and the KRI is currently underway.
- Early collaborators, clinics, or researchers may request pilot information or partnership discussions.
- Subscribers may opt into the waitlist for updates and early testing opportunities.
đź’ˇ Commitment to Innovation
Renes Care remains dedicated to creating solutions grounded in science and designed for real-world relevance. Kidney Twin™ and the Kidney Resilience Index represent early steps toward a future where kidney care is more personalized, data-informed, and empowering.
