Information for Patients, Care Providers and Medical Professionals
Learn More About Kidney Disease
The American Society of Nephrology (ASN) has created a web-based platform containing information about kidney health and disease. ASN encourages professionals to share this information with their patients and also makes this information freely available to patients, caregivers and the public.
The format is grouped by common topics important in kidney disease. These topics are then divided into sub-topics or questions relevant to the area. Links to other existing materials are provided to enhance the detail for the user.
Members of ASN Patient Education Task Force will continue to revise this resource based upon feedback from all users. Please provide your thoughts and insights via the feedback link at the bottom right corner of the module pages, or simply write communications@asn-online.org.
