For many people, the risk of developing kidney disease is due to a combination of physical, environmental, and social factors and not only because of one cause. #WorldKidneyDay #KidneyHealthForAll

Congrats USC KDSAP students for a great screening event today! Way to raise awareness of kidney disease and make a difference in the community. Thanks for letting me guest-participate! Eugene Lin UmichKDSAP Li-Li Hsiao Kidney Disease Screening and Awareness Program

Congratulations to all for a great event raising #kidney disease awareness!

Fueled by humility and hope, and what I’ve learned over the past 6 years, our Perspective is now out in ACS Nano and selected as ACS Publications Editor's Choice: Spotlight on Genetic Kidney Diseases: A Call for Nanomedicine and Drug Delivery Solutions pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10…

Awesome interview with ⁦Aleks⁩ ⁦Northwestern Kidney⁩ explaining what it means to #donatelife and why she chose to donate her #kidney - raising awareness about the urgent need for organ donation!

Today on #DonorRemembranceDay the donation & transplant community comes together to honor those who have given the gift of life through organ, eye & tissue donation. Forget-me-not flowers symbolize remembrance for the lifesaving generosity of all donors. #DonateLife 💙💚 AOPOHQ
