Today's progress reflects years of advocacy by living donors, transplant recipients, and patient leaders who have shared their stories and called for fairness.
This is a powerful acknowledgement of the living donors and transplant recipients who have shared their stories and urged Congress to act for years.
These accomplishments were made possible by the dedicated NKF advocates, patients, and partners nationwide.
NKF is a longstanding advocate for improved transparency in the transplant process. We look forward to partnering with CMS to ensure these policies are implemented in a manner that centers the patient as we work together to make sure more people can access the gift of a kidney transplant.
Today is #GivingTuesday! 🧡 Thanks to a special opportunity, your gift today will be TRIPLED—that’s 3X the research, 3X the education, 3X the research, and 3X the innovative breakthroughs for every patient fighting to survive. Make your gift before midnight: bit.ly/4roUojI
This milestone built on decades of impact is worth celebrating. Let's continue changing lives together.
We appreciate and admire this selfless act by Mr. Eisenberg to step up and give the gift of life. Every kidney donor helps make a real difference for someone living with kidney disease — and this kind of generosity can inspire others to consider living kidney donation.
Every day, about 12 people in the USA die waiting for a kidney transplant. We need fewer kidneys going unused, expanded pair exchanges and use of vouchers, zero barriers to living donation and more research funding of rare kidney diseases for treatments and cures.
We at @kidney.org join the football community in mourning the loss of Nick Mangold. His openness about his battle with kidney disease reminds how urgent this fight truly is.
Through this investment with BMI OrganBank, we’re working to accelerate a technology that aims to reduce discarded kidneys and bring more lifesaving transplants to patients in need.
Advances in xenotransplantation are giving our community hope that new options may soon be available to those who need them most.
The increase represents meaningful progress in our efforts to modernize the 40-year-old transplant system. The Senate also rejected harmful cuts that would have hurt research and chronic disease programs.
BIG NEWS: The Living Donor Protection Act has been introduced into Congress! Contact your Members of Congress TODAY and tell them to pass this bipartisan, non-controversial bill. Take action: bit.ly/4f91RxA
The 2000's brought big changes to kidney health. From free screenings to transplant breakthroughs, here's how the National Kidney Foundation and the broader kidney community helped shape a healthier future. www.kidney.org/news-stories...
The 37 million people in our country with kidney disease cannot afford to wait and see how these changes will play out. If you're a member of the kidney community, take action to protect yourself.
Care partner burnout is common. But there are steps you can take to prevent or recover from it.
Expanding access to comprehensive obesity medications in Medicare is about quality health care options for Americans that should be a priority for CMS.
I recently had the privilege and the experience of two impactful days of meetings on Capitol Hill. The fight for better kidney health isn’t just in hospitals or labs; it’s in the halls of Congress and communities across the country. #MyKidneyVoice
These 200 living donations have impacted over 1,200 kidney patients! NKF and NKR are dedicated to increasing living kidney donation and providing comprehensive support for living donors.
Dr. Montgomery’s work has indelibly shaped the future of transplantation. Congratulations, Dr. Montgomery! #TIME100
