As medicine advances at an unprecedented pace, the field of nephrology is poised for transformative change. By 2050, breakthroughs in kidney disease prevention, dialysis, transplantation, and omics-driven precision medicine could redefine patient care and outcomes. Here, we share our perspectives on the challenges faced and how changes in health policy, emerging technologies, novel therapies, and data-driven approaches might shape the future of nephrology. From innovative dialysis solutions to xenotransplantation and AI-powered diagnostics, we explore the possibilities that could revolutionise kidney health in the decades to come.
