Bloody Amazing Kidneys campaign

Right now, kidney disease causes more deaths every year than breast cancer or prostate cancer, yet there is a shocking lack of awareness of a condition that affects 10% of the UK population.

People with kidney disease have told us that the lack of awareness of kidney disease, kidney failure and their treatments leaves them feeling isolated and ignored.

This is why we launched our #BloodyAmazingKidneys awareness campaign – to help celebrate the amazing job our kidneys do to filter our blood, and to help raise awareness of the impact that kidney disease has on the lives of millions of people across the UK.

But we can’t do this alone, we need your help.

Could you be at risk of kidney disease?

Join 330,000+ people who have already checked their kidney health and answer a few simple questions to understand more about keeping your kidneys healthy. Knowing your risk can help your doctor diagnose you in the early stages if you do have chronic kidney disease (CKD).

CKD awareness

At Kidney Care UK, we want to start a national conversation about the importance of kidney health

We want more people to be diagnosed earlier, giving them more time to be able to slow the progression of their kidney disease. We believe everyone who has CKD must be aware of their diagnosis and empowered to manage their own kidney health.
