2025 Impact Report

Our 2025 Impact Report highlights how Can-SOLVE CKD is turning patient-oriented kidney research into real-world change. Inside, you’ll find concrete examples of research being implemented in practice, patient-partnered innovations, and network-wide efforts to strengthen learning, leadership, and collaboration across Canada. Together, these stories show how our work is improving kidney care in meaningful, measurable ways. 

Research impact

A lighter load: Deprescribing project helps patients reduce their pill burden

A Can-SOLVE CKD research project has developed a tool to help care teams identify unnecessary medications being taken by hemodialysis patients.

Improving care for kids with kidney disease

The PRO-Kid project is developing a new tool to better assess symptoms in children living with chronic kidney disease.

Indigenous youth help advance research to protect their kidney health

Indigenous youth living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) face a higher risk of developing kidney disease as adults, but a unique research initiative out of the Can-SOLVE CKD Network is working to change that.  

Building a smoother, more accessible path to living kidney donation

Advancing Black kidney health through community partnership

Helping patients weigh benefits and risks: My Heart and CKD moves into clinics

My Kidneys My Health: A patient-led approach to better kidney care

Co-developed by researchers and patient partners, My Kidneys My Health is transforming kidney care by making reliable, tailored information accessible to everyone.

A new way for kids with kidney disease to be heard

Treating kidney disease with precision

Using a “molecular microscope," Can-SOLVE CKD researchers are finding ways to predict which patients are at higher risk of disease progression.

Bridging the gap between mental health and kidney care

Many people on in-centre hemodialysis experience mental health challenges, but the Mind the Gap research project is working to address the lack of accessible support.

Network updates

Kidney health innovation

Our research aims to improve the lives of people living with kidney disease.

Patients at the centre

Patient engagement in Can-SOLVE CKD means active collaboration between patient partners, researchers, and policy makers in all projects and activities within the network.

Cultural competency in research

We work with Indigenous patients, researchers, caregivers, and Knowledge Keepers to improve kidney health.
