NephCure\u2019s mission is to ensure that all individuals with rare, protein-spilling kidney disease have equitable access to the care and treatments that offer them the best kidney health outcome possible<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
\n\n

Founded in 2000 by a group of committed patient parents, NephCure is the only kidney organization squarely focused on nephrotic syndrome, FSGS, IgAN, and other rare, protein-spilling kidney diseases. We push rare kidney disease (RKD) research and care forward, while connecting patients, families, healthcare providers, government agencies, industry partners, and other key stakeholders so everyone affected by RKD can thrive.

Since our founding, NephCure has invested more than $40 million in kidney disease research. We\u2019ve helped create a new reality where patients have access to new treatments, including more than 60 interventional drug trials for rare kidney disease currently in progress.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
