The teen years are a time of self-discovery, disorientation, but most of all, fun! Most teens are already juggling many changes, responsibilities and activities, and kidney disease can feel like a balancing act of its own.

During this webinar, hear how others have balanced living with kidney disease as teens and learn more about where teens can go to find support. At times, it may seem tough, but it is possible to live your best life while maintaining your health. Your potential is limitless!

Our speakers, Dr. Sutha and Bayli, will share:

  • Their journey with kidney disease and transplant
  • Answers to common questions from teens
  • Resources for teens
