EDTAKI : a Nephrology and Public Policy Committee (NPPC) platform call for more European involvement in acute kidney injury

Abstract
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is an often neglected but crucial element of clinical nephrology. The aim of the Nephrology Public Policy Committee (NPPC) of the European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) is to promote several key aspects of European nephrology. One of the targets proposed by NPPC was to advance European nephrology involvement in AKI. We undertook literature analyses to define the current position of European nephrology in the field of AKI compared to other regions, and about how different European countries compare to each other. It appeared that vis-à-vis countries with a comparable socio-economic status (the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada), the European contribution was almost 50% lower. Within Europe, Central/Eastern Europe and countries with a lower gross domestic product (GDP) showed lower scientific output. Nephrologists contributed to less than half of the output. There was no trend for a change over the last decade. It is concluded that there is room to improve the contribution of European nephrology in the field of AKI. We propose a model on how to promote clinical collaboration on AKI across Europe, the creation of a pan-European nephrology network of interested units is proposed, to improve clinical outcomes, increase nephrologist involvement and awareness outside nephrology, and stimulate research on AKI in Europe. Accordingly, we also propose a list of research priorities and stress the need for more European funding of AKI research.
