Rare kidney conditions: free resources for patients
Rare kidney conditions affect around 70 in 100,000 people and nearly all children with kidney failure have a rare disease. Rare kidney disease can be hard to diagnose, and it can be difficult to find accurate, up-to-date patient information for rare conditions. The Kidney Care UK Rare kidney conditions information hub offers specialist advice and details of support and patient groups.
