Your support will help us to provide free prevention screening throughout New Zealand.

1 in 10 people have kidney disease in New Zealand, yet most don't know it.

That is because a kidney can lose up to 90% of its function without showing any symptoms. If caught early kidney disease can be managed to maintain the kidney function, stay healthier longer, and avoid the need for invasive expensive kidney treatments.

Kidney Health New Zealand want better kidney health for all New Zealand. We focus on early detection and treatment of kidney disease, support for people with kidney disease and their families, educate on living with and preventing kidney disease and promote the donation of kidneys and other organs and tissue for transplantation.

Founded in 1979 as a non-profit organisation, we have educated and assisted thousands of people with, or at risk of, kidney disease.
