The revolutionary innovations in biology and information technology influenced many medical and health disciplines. Although it is lagging behind others, renal medicine entered this chain of events. Nephrology and renal transplantation have many inherent challenges that needed to be addressed innovatively to receive these new frontiers in medicine. In a connected high biotech future, the applications of regenerative medicine, nanotechnology, genomics, artificial intelligence, 3D organ bioprinting, and smartphone applications will reshape the practice and research of renal medicine. Certainly, this will have a positive impact on patients’ outcomes and the health-care system. These changes are coming, but with new challenges such as excess costs, and many moral challenges. Providing precise equitable care with maintaining patient’s privacy and values will be difficult. In this review, we provide insights into future approaches to renal care. |
