National Organization Resources The National Kidney Disease Education Program (NKDEP) works to reduce the burden of CKD, especially among communities most impacted by the disease. Established in 2000, NKDEP aims to improve early detection of CKD, facilitate identification of patients at greatest risk for progression to kidney failure, promote evidence-based interventions to slow progression of CKD, and support the coordination of Federal responses to CKD. To achieve its goals, NKDEP works in collaboration with a range of government, nonprofit, and health care organizations to:
State Health Department Staff can contact Eileen Newman (eileen.newman@nih.gov), the Associate Director of NKDEP, for NKDEP’s assistance in providing kidney health information on your website, social media messaging, and co-branding materials.
The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Surveillance System TheCKD Surveillance System documents the burden of CKD and its risk factors in the U.S. population over time and tracks the progress of our efforts to prevent, detect, and manage CKD. It also provides the means for evaluating, monitoring, and implementing quality improvement efforts by both federal and nonfederal agencies. State level data for some indicators are available. This website also has the National Chronic Kidney Disease Fact Sheet 2014.
The Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Initiative, a part of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control, is designed to provide comprehensive public health strategies for promoting kidney health. These strategies seek to prevent and control risk factors for CKD, to raise awareness, to promote early diagnosis, and to improve outcomes and quality of life for those living with CKD. The National Kidney Foundation is the leading organization in the U.S. dedicated to the awareness, prevention and treatment of kidney disease for hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals, millions of patients and their families, and tens of millions of Americans at risk.
Diabetes Leadership Initiative The Diabetes Leadership Initiative (DLI), a project of the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors, 2011-2013, was designed to improve the health of people with diabetes by building awareness of the need to detect, delay and manage diabetes complications, including diabetic kidney disease. Michigan Primary Care Snapshots Management of Chronic Kidney Disease are five, short videos designed to offer providers quick, pertinent and practical information on the clinical management of CKD. The series is based on the book, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Clinical Practice Recommendations for Primary Care Physicians and Healthcare Providers, 6th Edition, and hosted by the book's editors and authors Drs. Gregory Krol (primary care physician) and Jerry Yee (nephrologist). The video series was developed as a component of a National Association of Chronic Disease Directors’ demonstration project with technical assistance and support from the Michigan Department of Community Health's Diabetes and Other Chronic Diseases section.
