The KDIGO Controversies Conference on Women and Kidney Health convened a global panel of individuals with multidisciplinary clinical and scientific expertise (i.e., nephrology, obstetrics, reproductive health, pediatrics/neonatology, etc.) and patients to identify key gender and sex issues in kidney care and to optimize reproductive care of women with CKD and women who have developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy or pregnancy-related AKI. The conference, co-chaired by Dr. Giorgina Piccoli (Centre Hospitalier Le Mans, France) and Dr. Christina Wyatt (Duke University, United States), took place in Athens, Greece, in February 2023.

With the support of an in-depth review of the most relevant literature, the conference addressed current best practices and identified areas of uncertainty, addressed ongoing controversial issues, and outlined research needed to move the field forward.
