Published on 20 February 2025
The REIN network manages several essential tools for monitoring chronic kidney disease. The REIN registry and applications developed by the Agence de la biomédecine enable data on dialysis and renal transplantation to be collected and reported. These tools support research and contribute to improving the management of this pathology, as part of the chronic kidney disease observatory.
