Self-Advocacy and Kidney Disease

Kidneys are as important to your health as your heart or your lungs. If you know what the kidneys do when they work properly, it will be easier to understand what can happen when they begin to fail.

Our National Research Program is one of the most important sources of funding for scientists conducting kidney-related research in Canada.

We can help you find the information and resources you need, provide support and help you connect with others living with kidney disease in your community.

We take a leadership role in advocating for policies and programs to meet the needs of people living with kidney disease.
