| Core Tip |
Kidney care increasingly requires approaches that complement established diagnostic and prognostic measures with information about biological injury, individualized risk, and evolving disease trajectories. Advances in biomarkers, multi-omics, artificial intelligence, and digital health offer potential opportunities, although their clinical value and readiness for routine use differ substantially. This opinion review proposes the predictive nephrology continuum, a six-stage conceptual framework linking detection, risk prediction, treatment personalization, prevention, monitoring, and adaptive management through an iterative feedback process. Its central contribution is the integration of these activities into a kidney-specific approach to clinical decision-making. Predictive nephrology should complement established evidence-based care and clinical judgment, with its ultimate value determined by demonstrated improvements in patient outcomes rather than predictive accuracy alone. |
