Knowledge Translation in Glomerulonephritis: Successes in Translational Research From the Bench to Bedside.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose of review

Glomerulonephritis refers to a rare group of diseases characterized by glomerular inflammation, which collectively are a common cause of kidney failure. Until recently, there was a lack of high-quality clinical trials to inform the care of patients with glomerulonephritides. We identified examples of successful translational research spanning from basic science to clinical applications, and highlight gaps in implementation science.

Sources of information

The focus of our review was derived from discussions between health care professionals, researchers, and patient partners. We also performed literature searches pertaining to the treatment of glomerulonephritis in PubMed and Google Scholar.

Methods

Examples of successful knowledge translation were ge
