About Kidney Research UK
Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research we fund has been making an impact. Kidney disease is increasing along with contributing factors such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.
We work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.
Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.
We also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and placed at the centre of everything we do – from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and the work across the charity.
