In the scientific environment, decision-making is based on Evidence-Based Medicine, but the arrival of Industry 4.0 has made it possible to incorporate a new concept into medicine, Data-based Medicine. This represents a paradigm shift in medicine and in Nephrology in particular. There are new concepts that will modify from research to assistance as understood until now. Big Data, Data Mining, Machine Learning and all the methodology that is around Artificial Intelligence are generating a restructuring of multidisciplinary environments with the incorporation of data engineers with whom it will be necessary to understand. Both resources and infrastructures will require adaptation to new organizational models. How health projects are generated will have a new orientation. Ethics management and data security will change perspective. In this context, Nephrology is one of the fields where more data and more diversity are handled. In nephropathology, hypertension, chronic and acute kidney disease, transplantation and even in rare diseases, evidence of its usefulness is already beginning to accumulate. Are we ready for this paradigm shift? Because it has already arrived ...
