National Kidney Foundation
Join us, as we go the distance to be the beacon of life and hope for kidney failure patients and advocate kidney health to your loved ones!
To encourage more people to care for their kidneys and support kidney failure patients, NKF is organizing a 2nd edition of our virtual sports event, Race Inspired!, which comprises both a running and cycling segment. This 21-day virtual event will be held from 18 March to 7 April 2022. Through Race Inspired!, we aim to inspire participants to lead and advocate a healthier lifestyle while supporting us to achieve our fundraising target of $200,000, which will go towards providing quality treatment and care for our kidney failure patients. Additionally, NKF is offering online tutoring sessions on kidney health to educate the community and promote preventive care.

Importance of conversation English for patients with kidney disease
Posted on 8 May 2024
Multiple studies have shown that providing language-concordant treatment leads to better health outcomes, highlighting the need to tackle language barriers for patients with limited English proficiency (LEP). Patients diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) must engage in active self-management under the guidance of the dialysis team. Moreover, the understanding that patients have of the cause of their kidney insufficiency might influence the choices made by both the patient and their family members regarding kidney transplantation and live donation. In patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), the act of providing incorrect information about other medical illnesses has been linked to a higher risk of death from any cause. This underscores the need for proficient communication between patients and healthcare providers to manage the condition. An english conversation tutor online (here - https://livexp.com/online-tutors/conversational-english) will enable patients with kidney disease to receive better treatment by explaining basic definitions. Tutoring sessions, such as medical terminology and dialogue with medical staff, are tailored to the student's needs.
