NKDEP is an initiative of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) designed to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by kidney disease and its complications. NKDEP works in collaboration with a range of government, nonprofit, and health care organizations to raise awareness among people at risk for CKD about the need for testing; educate people with CKD about how to manage their disease; provide information, training, and tools that help health professionals better identify and manage CKD patients; and support changes in the laboratory community that yield more accurate, reliable, and accessible test results.

Recently revamped and now available in different language formats, the NKDEP website is a very practical and functional educational resource for health practitioners and consumers alike.
