Help and Information - Medical Information for Children and their Families

The NKF is pleased to be able to display many Medical Information ‘booklets’ compiled by members of the Children's Renal & Urology Unit at Queens Medical Centre Campus, Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust. They have been written for Children and their families to understand more about Kidney Disease, Dialysis, Kidney Transplants and include information about tests like a blood test, an ultrascan and a renal biopsy.

The first of these ‘booklets’ are below and we hope to add more over the next few months.
