Kidney disease explained

How we can help

Like most illnesses, no one really understands unless they’ve been through it themselves.

Only kidney patients themselves can really know what it’s like to endure dialysis week after week and the attempts to stay positive through all the hopes and disappointments.

This site aims to be a hub not only of useful information for anyone who is waiting for a transplant in Wales, but also a support network, with an interactive patient forum and regular contributions from Wales’s top experts on the latest research and developments.

Whether you want to add your experiences to the ‘Your Stories’ section; ask one of our experts a question, log in to the forum for a chat or just browse our library of useful information, we hope this website will help make life a bit easier.
