ABSTRACT
A report by Dunkler et al. reminds us that social factors are relevant for today's clinical scientist and practitioner. They report that an increasing number of friends reduces the incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes. The observation that 'friends don't let friends' develop kidney disease suggests that social factors, as well as biomarkers, may be relevant in developing 'personalized renal medicine' and may identify areas for future nephrology research and education.
