National Kidney Disease Education Program

The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) (2000-2019) promoted evidence-based interventions to improve understanding, detection, and management of kidney disease, including identification of patients at greatest risk for progression to kidney failure. NIDDK carries forward the content and outreach and promotion activities developed under the program to meet ongoing need.
