Become an AAKP Member (Archived)

The AAKP is the oldest and largest fully independent kidney patient organization in the U.S. Founded in 1969 by six dialysis patients, with doctor encouragement, our Founders helped create the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Program, saving more than one million lives since 1973. 

Dedicated to improving the quality of life and long-term outcomes for kidney patients through education, advocacy, patient engagement and the fostering of patient communities – AAKP fights for early detection; increased kidney transplantation and pre-emptive transplantation; full patient choice either at-home or in-center dialysis; protection of the patient/physician relationship; promotion of innovation; and the elimination of barriers for patient access to available treatment options.

AAKP encourages patients, professionals, and all kidney allies to think of themselves as a  KidneyPatriot™ and to become a member of the AAKP!
