Our kidney research includes trials for chronic kidney disease, people on dialysis and kidney transplant recipients.
About this area
The kidneys filter the blood. They remove waste and extra water, which leave the body as urine. They also help keep the body's chemicals in balance.
Chronic kidney disease means the kidneys are damaged and cannot filter as well as they should. It can develop slowly, and people may have no symptoms in the early stages.
