Natera announced real-world research presented at ASN Kidney Week 2026 that found patients experienced a median 5.3-year delay in chronic kidney disease diagnosis, with kidney function declining before diagnosis. High-risk patients frequently lacked documented nephrology care. Natera said the findings support earlier evaluation of disease causes, which it positions its Renasight genetic test to address.
