Welcome to
If you are concerned about your kidneys, are a kidney patient, family or friend of a kidney patient, a doctor seeking additional information on how to support kidney patients, or just wanting to know more about how the kidneys work, our website has information to help you to understand more about your kidney health.
Everyone has kidneys and anyone can get kidney disease. Early detection of kidney disease is key to reducing the impact it has on individuals, their families and the wider community. We encourage everyone to get a kidney health check. Next time you are at your doctor ask for one or come to one of our community prevention screenings.
Your donation will provide free kidney health checks to increase early diagnosis.
