National Kidney Federation (NKF) is the largest kidney patient charity in the UK. Run by kidney patients, for kidney patients. It was founded in 1979 when  independent charities (Kidney Patient Associations) realised they needed a national organisation to fight their cause and demand to improve renal provision. The aim of the charity is to provide national patient support services and to campaign for improvements to renal provision and treatment. It is estimated that 3.5 million people are living in the UK with kidney disease. The NKF is a lifeline of support and hope to patients and families. They work tirelessly to persuade the Government, the Department of Health, NHS Blood and Transplant, and the NHS to provide better treatment and service for kidney patients.
