Kidney Matters - Issue 17 Summer 2022
Your Summer 2022 Kidney Matters magazine is out now! In this issue: • Chronic kidney disease and the cost of living crisis • Navigating nephrotic syndrome as a family • Kidney clinic: coping with brain fog • Celebrating Ramadan when you're living with CKD • Kidney Kitchen's fresh-tasting Salad Niçoise – perfect for summer! 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.

To prepare the dressing, peel and
crush the garlic and finely chop the
parsley. Whisk all the ingredients
together in a bowl. Fill two saucepans
with water and bring to the boil to cook
the potatoes and beans.
Drain the tuna, scoop it in to a bowl
and break up with a fork. Pour the
dressing over the tuna. Peel and
finely slice the onion and scatter
over the tuna. Leave to marinate for
20 mins.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in
the boiling water for 10 mins. Add
the eggs to the pan and cook for a
further 6 mins. When the potatoes
are cooked, drain, and allow to cool,
then cut into even slices.
