Kidney Matters - Issue 16 Spring 2022
Kidney Matters is our free quarterly magazine for everyone affected by kidney disease. This issue includes features on delayed graft function, the impact of CKD on families, friends and care-partners, improving organ donation, a husband's perspective on the challenges faced from caring for someone with CKD, and an article all about a family's journey from dialysis to transplant and all the things in between. As well as this, the Kidney Kitchen features a warming pear and blackberry crumble, perfect for Valentine's Day! We know that being a kidney patient can be tough at times and that accessing the right help at the right time isn’t always easy. We’ve spent a great deal of time talking and listening to kidney patients about what we can do to address this at every stage of kidney disease. The response was overwhelmingly ‘improved communication’ on what is going on in the kidney world, how other patients manage their life with kidney disease and what is available to them in terms of support and how to access it. Kidney Matters has been developed to tackle this as well as the many other issues kidney patients face in day-to-day life. Along with shared patient experiences, Kidney Matters provides information on how to access emotional and practical support, financial assistance through our grant schemes, advice from leading kidney specialists and tips on how to keep as well as possible by eating a healthy diet whilst on dialysis.
