Registered Charity No: 252892 (England & Wales), SC039245 (Scotland).

As the leading kidney research charity in the UK, nothing is going to stop us in our urgent mission to end kidney disease. We’re here to be heard, to make a difference, to change the future. This is a disease that ruins and destroys lives. It must be stopped. Over the past 60 years, our research has made an impact. But kidney failure is rising, as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes and obesity. Today, we are more essential than ever.

And kidney disease doesn’t discriminate, affecting all generations. When their kidneys fail, children face a lifetime of kidney failure, and it can affect their physical growth and social development. There is no cure for kidney disease.

Only research will end kidney disease. By leaving a gift to Kidney Research UK in your Will our doctors, nurses and scientists can continue their life-saving work. In 2017, Kidney Research UK and Kids Kidney Research merged - increasing paediatric kidney research to find a cure and transform young people’s lives. We aim to prevent kidney disease by developing new ways to spot it earlier and stop it in its tracks.
