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.

How We’re Leading the RKD Revolution

Unique among other rare disease organizations, NephCure’s model engages every stakeholder group that touches the present and future of rare kidney disease. By building bridges between these groups, we transform lives: from connecting patients to expert NephCure specialists, to funding the next groundbreaking RKD therapy, and one day finding a cure.
