Following the recognition of the significance of kidney disease by the World Health Organization (WHO), Kidney Care UK is delighted to see that a new fact sheet has been released by them. This is the first time the WHO has provided a briefing for policymakers on kidney disease 👉 https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/kidney-disease

We echo the words of the Kidney Resolution, which calls for promoting kidney health across the life course, improving early detection and management of kidney disease – especially in people with diabetes and hypertension – and ensuring equitable access to essential medicines and services. In the UK we continue to work towards this goal so that fewer people will face kidney failure in the future.

Please, please get sending emails and also talk to your local candidates, they are out and about just now don’t miss this opportunity!

On 7 May voters across Scotland and Wales will head to the polls to elect the next Scottish and Welsh Parliaments. Kidney Care UK are calling on the next government in both devolved nations to improve care for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Whoever wins, these elections are a crucial opportunity to get better support and treatment in place for people with CKD. We are speaking to all political parties to explain why action on CKD is so important, and what changes are necessary for everyone to get the care and support they need and deserve!

Hundreds of thousands are affected:

Over 600,000 people in Scotland and an estimated 377,000 people in Wales have kidney disease

CKD is growing and millions are being spent: CKD is estimated to be costing the economy more than £500 million a year in Scotland and £361 million in Wales

Sharp increases in CKD prevalence and cost will continue with an ageing population and projected growth in diabetes and other risk factors such as high blood pressure

Employment rates are low and missed work days are high:
Employment rates among people on dialysis are just 26%. Between 2022 and 2032,

CKD in the UK is projected to result in 81.6 million missed workdays in people diagnosed with CKD, and 11.9 million missed workdays in carers of people with CKD.

The transplant waiting list is growing: Yet more people are developing kidney failure. This will only get worse if rapid action is not taken 🫶🏻💜

Kidney Care UK wants you to tell your local candidates why CKD is important and what changes you want to see. Here's how you can get in touch with your candidates on this link below 🫶🏻

Please, please take just a moment to read this and send the template letter to your Scottish election candidates—it really only takes 2 minutes, but it could help make a real difference.

If we don’t stand up and make our voices heard, nothing will change. And for people living with kidney disease, staying silent isn’t an option.

1 in 10 people are living with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Right now, 8,282 people across the UK are waiting for a life-saving organ transplant.

6,816 of those people are waiting for a kidney.

These aren’t just numbers—these are real people, real lives, real families, all waiting and hoping for a second chance.

We cannot afford to wait any longer.

Please take 2 minutes today—because your voice truly matters.
