Summary:
NKDEP aims to raise awareness of the seriousness of kidney disease, the importance of testing those at high risk, and the availability of treatment to prevent or slow kidney failure. The program initially focuses on those at highest risk, particularly African Americans with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney failure. The NKDEP plans to widen its target audiences, including other racial and ethnic groups, as the program expands. The site offers information, brochures and videos for patients, families, and health professionals.
