Petition Increase funding for research into Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

I want the Government to increase funding for research into Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), to try and identify a cure, or at least new treatments to ease symptoms and improve prognoses for sufferers.

More details

My daughter has suffered with CKD and is 41. She has been on dialysis and had a kidney transplant which has failed after 4 years and she now has to go back on dialysis and hope for another donated Kidney. She has Angina and Asthma and has had a stroke.

Kidney disease causes more deaths than breast cancer or prostrate cancer (NVS 2021 report of 2018 data).

The most common cause of death overall is in the dialysis population is cardiovascular disease; cardiovascular mortality is 10-20 times higher in dialysis patients than in the general public. (Medscape)

There are 40-45,000 premature deaths in the UK every year due to CKD (kidneycareuk.org)
