The KidneyCARE Study is a nationwide effort to better understand chronic kidney disease (CKD), including those on dialysis or with a kidney transplant. This is an observational study, meaning you won't take new medications or have extra tests. Instead, you'll share your health information and experiences through a secure online portal. The study also gathers information from your electronic health records. Researchers hope to enroll 50,000 people to create a powerful platform for research and advocacy. You may be able to join if you are 18 or older and have any stage of CKD. The main goal is to see how many people enroll over five years.
