The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) has a long history of putting patients first by advocating on behalf of kidney patients; providing education, information and resources to them; and educating healthcare professionals. Being part of the Prepare Now research study with Duke University and Geisinger Health Systems fits in perfectly with our patient-focused mission and we welcome the opportunity!
 
We are especially interested in helping to figure out the best methods for educating people facing kidney failure about their treatment options.  As part of the Prepare Now intervention, study participants will be given the opportunity to talk with someone who has been on dialysis or who has already had a kidney transplant.  Additionally, if they have a friend or family member who is considering living organ donation, NKF Peers can match their loved one with a living donor who has already been through the process and can share their experiences first-hand. 
 
Facing kidney failure can be overwhelming.  There is a lot to learn and difficult choices to make.  It’s helpful to know that there is help out there and that there are other people who have also walked down a similar path. Talking with someone who has been through a similar situation can be a powerful experience. NKF’s successful peer mentoring program, NKF Peers, has been matching people interested in receiving support for over five years now. We are thrilled to share the success of our program with study participants and we encourage anyone interested in talking with someone about dialysis, kidney transplant, or living donation to contact us. We look forward to helping!  NKF Peers 1-855-653-7337 or nkfpeers@kidney.org.

I could not believe it, this is a miracle that i can not just keep without saying it out, my mum was diagnosed with kidney problem and was recommended for kidney transplant before we knew what was happening, the kidney failed completely and she was placed on 3 time dialysis a week as we were waiting to get a donor, this past few months have be hell on earth, only God know how much we have to spend a week just for the dialysis, until some one introduced us to Dr. Osaro Enoma, a herbal medicine practitioner, we contacted him and he told us he could help, it was unbelievable, but since we were so deep in dept we had no choice than to try his herb, he prepared some herbs and sent to us, my mum stated taking the herbs with little faith but was still going for the dialysis after about two weeks her kidney was beginning to function again and the doctors did another test and it was proven that the kidney was picking up, she continue the herbs for 2months,today my mum is fine and very healthy without any transplant or dialysis, its really a miracle, i know we have many who are in deep dept because of this problem, please hurry up contact him so you can be free again. if you have any form of illness,Cancer, Sickle Cell, Herpes, Diabetes, warts, lupus, hiv and all form of Std, you can be sure of cure with Dr. Osaro Enoma, please contact him on
