Yorkshire Kidney Research Fund

Organisation Aims and Activities: Founded in 1970, the Yorkshire 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, voluntary support and legacies to help us fund groundbreaking work. 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.
