About our charity
Founded in 1970 theYorkshire Kidney Research Fund supports research into the problems associated with all aspects of kidney disease. <p> Active throughout Yorkshire and benefiting kidney research on a national and international basis, we rely entirely on donations, fundraising, voluntary support and legacies to help us fund groundbreaking work, helping people of all ages. <p> Every year an increasing number of patients are diagnosed with serious kidney disease and kidney failure. Research helps us find the answers to deliver the best treatments and therapies and make a huge difference to many people. <p> Donations help us to achieve our objectives. <p> Some of the areas we're currently funding research in are: <p> Investigating causes of poorly developed kidneys in babies; Ways to reduce the infections dialysis patients suffer from their dialysis catheters; Investigating whether the bladder changes the composition of urine after it is made; Investigating the way in which cells from the kidney die or survive in response to disease states; Optimal way to treat anaemia, a very prevalent complication in kidney patients which causes severe fatigue and reduction in quality of life; Investigating a condition called "Dialysis-related Amyloid". <p> Please support us and help us carry on making a difference.
