Founded in 1970 theYorkshire Kidney Research Fund supports research into the
problems associated with all aspects of kidney disease.
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.
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.
Donations help us to achieve our objectives.
Some of the areas we're currently funding research in are:
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".
Please support us and help us carry on making a difference.
