BEAT-CKD
Better Evidence And Translation - Chronic Kidney Disease (BEAT-CKD)
BEAT-CKD is a national research collaboration funded through an NHMRC Program Grant (APP1092957). It brings together four key platforms working to improve outcomes for people living with chronic kidney disease in Australia and around the world:
- ANZDATA Registry
- Australian Kidney Trials Network (AKTN)
- KHA-CARI Guidelines (Kidney Health Australia - Caring for Australians with Renal Impairment)
- Cochrane Kidney and Transplant
Together, these platforms generate high-quality research evidence to inform better healthcare decisions, supporting patients, clinicians, and policymakers in delivering effective, evidence-based kidney care.
