Help ensure kidney disease is on the new government’s agenda.

The first 100 days matter. 

Kidney disease is too often overlooked, despite its impact on individuals, the NHS, the economy and the environment.   

If the government is serious about preventing ill health and keeping people as healthy as possible for as long as possible, kidney disease must be part of the plan. 

That is why Kidney Research UK is launching the 100 Days Kidney Test petition.

The three tests

By day 100, Kidney Research UK will ask whether the new government has:

  • 1 Delivered on existing commitments to diagnose kidney disease earlier in people at risk, such as those living with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity.
    This should include taking steps to deliver the new strategy on cardiovascular disease and recognising chronic kidney disease as part of the wider prevention and long-term conditions agenda.
  • 2 Engaged with Kidney Research UK on rare, hereditary and paediatric kidney disease.
    This should include meeting with Kidney Research UK to discuss the recommendations from our latest rare disease report and agree practical next steps to improve care for people affected by rare and hereditary kidney conditions.
  • 3 Opened a clear route to a national kidney strategy, modern service framework or equivalent mechanism.
    This would provide a strategic framework for prevention, earlier detection, treatment, research, workforce planning and action on inequalities across kidney disease.

These tests are simple, but important.

Why this matters.

Kidney disease is often invisible until it has already caused serious damage.

Too many people are diagnosed late. Too many families face the life-changing impact of kidney disease. Too many opportunities for earlier action are missed.

The government has 100 days to show that kidney disease will not be ignored.
