Worldwide, the lack of resolution of the current pharmaceutical arsenal to heal some diseases, including chronic kidney disease, opens space for further research in the field of health. Technological horizons monitoring actions are highlighted in the tracking of relevant technologies to solve certain health issues that are still considered incurable. In this perspective, it is proposed in this study to monitor technological horizons on chronic kidney disease to investigate whether any of the technologies found is incorporated into SUS, with effective use and social impact. For this purpose, a survey was conducted on the International Platform for Clinical Trials Records (ICTRP) of WHO, National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) and patent database linked to the ORBIT intelligence system. The searches allowed the identification of 32 clinical trials and 375 patents filed worldwide, 33 in Brazil. However, no new technology has been incorporated or is being analyzed for incorporation by the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS).
