AKF hosts Rare Kidney Disease Advocacy Day and 2025 UCKD Summit

Theresa Caldron shares her experience advocating for herself to get an accurate diagnosis of a rare form of vasculitis called granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA)

In honor of Black History Month, we are celebrating our Dr. Silas Norman, who has worked throughout his career as a transplant nephrologist to advance health equity and advocate for improvements to health and quality of life for people living with kidney disease

Sept. 24 is aHUS Awareness Day, an opportunity to shine a light on this serious kidney disease and the people who are living with it or caring for someone living with it.

We are so proud of the impact AKF made in 2023 on the lives of people with kidney disease, who are at the heart of everything we do. In 2024, as always, people in the kidney community remain front and center in our efforts. Here are some of our top goals for this year.

AKF is proud to launch the next step of the UCKD Project: the UCKD Coalition, which is comprised of 15 organizations and individuals who will work together to support policies and actions aimed at identifying kidney disease without a known cause.
