Kidney-Healthy Kids a Major Focus for the National Kidney Foundation of Illinois
The National Kidney Foundation of Illinois (NKFI) tirelessly serves to assist and educate families with children and teenagers who are facing kidney disease. Chronic Kidney Disease is uncommon in children, but statistics show that more than 9,800 children and adolescents in the United States have kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and rely on life-saving dialysis or a kidney transplant. NKFI has two major programs that offer families help, its annual Kidney Camp and its Living with Kidney Disease and Transplantation event for families coming up on Sunday, September 10 from 8 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Museum of Science and Industry.
