Policy Statements - CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD)

 

Passed by the NKF 12th July 2008, amended Jan 2020

The National Kidney Federation (NKF) recognises and seeks to represent and support those identified as having Chronic Kidney Disease (Stages 1 to 5).

The NKF recognises that for some people a poor EGFR reading may simply reflect age and not disease. For this reason the NKF advises that insurance companies treat each case individually and do not load all premiums (or deny insurance) to all CKD identified people.
