Introduction: Taking advantage of this year’s synergy, as World Kidney Day (WKD) and International Women’s Day fall on the same day, the theme chosen for WKD 2018 was
“Kidneys and Women’s health”, drawing the attention of the nephrology community to the special features of diseases of the kidney as they affect women. When focusing on this subject, we come to see the major gaps in this area of knowledge. On one hand, it is now comprehensively accepted that there are unique biological and behavioral differences resulting in sex/gender variances, albeit mostly in favour of women. However, on the other, despite mounting evidence in multiple medical disciplines, these disparities have not been so well explored in nephrology, and so we try, in this editorial, to review current knowledge n this field.
