For years, the National Kidney
Foundation of Hawaii (NKFH) has
been changing—and bettering—the lives of 162,000 Hawaii residents afflicted by
chronic kidney disease (CKD). In 2005 The National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii
created a series of programs structured around the five stages of CKD. Stage 1 reflects minor abnormalities in kidney
function, while stage 5 reflects complete kidney failure (ESRD). A majority of
patients with CKD fall within Stages 1 to 3. We offer: Free kidney
screenings to help identify patients prior to kidney failureEarly education
programs for individuals at stages 1-3Patient services for
individuals at stage 4 & 6 and those on dialysisSupport groups for
dialysis patients and caregiversPeer mentoring for
those new to dialysis treatmentsOrgan donation and
Living Donor awareness programsPrograms to educate
Primary Care Physicians and other health professionalsTo support this multitude of
programs the foundation depends heavily on its “kidney cars” program. This program receives donated motor vehicles
which are then sold to provide much needed funding for our programs and
services. To find out how you can help,
