Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major public health problem and is increasingly being recognized as an important driver of costs in all health care systems. The diversity of outcomes for people living with CKD is in part due to variability in biology, access to care, environmental factors, and health care system differences. The International Society of Nephrology (ISN), working in collaboration with its partners, has evolved into a philanthropic organization, from a traditional medical society, committed to a vision that sees "a future where all people have access to sustainable kidney health". A set of activities, including a Global Kidney Health Summit, the Global Kidney Health Atlas, and a Global Kidney Health Policy Forum, which has formed the basis of a multi-stakeholder engagement process, building on a solid base of ISN programs and educational activities, is described. Through building awareness and increasing capacity to conduct research, the international community will build a more solid foundation on which to advocate for sustainable, ethical solutions to the problem of kidney disease throughout the world.
The ISN aims to improve kidney health worldwide through a variety of diverse activities addressing education, advocacy, and research. Collaboration with partners within and outside the medical community is key in achieving this goal. Key Messages: Kidney disease is an important public health problem and is driven by genetic, environmental, and socioeconomic factors. Through active collaboration with diverse partners, the international community is striving for sustainable kidney health and aims to achieve this through coordinated work in a variety of spheres.
慢性肾脏病（CKD）是一个主要的公共卫生问题，并且越来越被认为是所有医疗保健系统成本的重要驱动因素。患有 CKD 的人的各种结果部分归因于生物学、获得护理的机会、环境因素和医疗保健系统差异的可变性。国际肾脏病学会（ISN）与合作伙伴合作，已经从一个传统的医学学会发展成为一个慈善组织，致力于实现“所有人都能获得可持续肾脏健康的未来”这一愿景。描述了一系列活动，包括全球肾脏健康峰会、全球肾脏健康地图集和全球肾脏健康政策论坛，这些活动构成了多利益相关者参与进程的基础，建立在 ISN 计划和教育活动的坚实基础之上。通过提高认识和研究能力，国际社会将为倡导在全球范围内解决肾脏疾病问题的可持续、合乎道德的解决方案奠定更坚实的基础。
ISN 通过开展各种教育、宣传和研究活动，旨在改善全球的肾脏健康。与医疗界内外的合作伙伴合作是实现这一目标的关键。关键信息：肾脏疾病是一个重要的公共卫生问题，受遗传、环境和社会经济因素的驱动。通过与不同的合作伙伴积极合作，国际社会正在努力实现可持续的肾脏健康，并旨在通过在多个领域协调工作来实现这一目标。
