Funded Activity Summary

1 in 7 Australians have Kidney disease. Kidney disease tends to be progressive and over 8500 Australians require renal replacement therapy (dialysis). The cost of dialysis from 2004-2010 in Australia will be $ 4.5 billion. Auto-immune disease and Diabetes accounts for nearly 60% of kidney failure. Whilst current regimes exist to treat Kidney disease these are limited because they are deleterious side-effects. Improved understanding of the mechanism of disease will lead to improved treatments.
