What We Do
NephCure is the only kidney organization focused on nephrotic syndrome, FSGS, IgAN, and other rare, protein-spilling kidney diseases. We’re creating a new reality where more rare kidney disease (RKD) therapies exist, and more patients get the care they need.
The Four Pillars of Our Mission
1
Funding & Advancing Research
To date, NephCure has invested $40 million into rare kidney disease research, growing the number of interventional drug trials for RKD from zero to more than 60 and counting.
2
Supporting Patients
Everything we do is for RKD patients. When they find themselves in the murky waters of a rare kidney disease diagnosis, we help connect them and their families to the best care, resources, and community support available.
3
Advocating for Change
NephCure collaborates directly with government officials and industry partners to pave the way for more clinical trials, drug approvals, and community awareness.
4
Creating a Community
We do everything better when we are together. By building bridges between patients, families, healthcare providers, and other key stakeholders, we lift everyone up under one common purpose: to find a cure for rare kidney disease.
