Welcome to the Kidney Health Checker

Did you know you can lose 90% of your kidney function without realising?

Your kidneys are amazing. They are constantly filtering toxins from your blood to keep your organs working.

We thank AstraZeneca, Boehringer Ingelheim and Novo Nordisk for funding this campaign. Scroll down for further details.

Take 5 minutes to help protect your kidneys

Answer a few simple questions to:

  • find out if you are at risk of kidney disease 
  • understand more about keeping your kidneys healthy.

Knowing your risk can help your doctor diagnose you in the early stages if you do have chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Please note: there is no benefit to completing the Kidney Health Checker if you already have a diagnosis of kidney disease. The Checker is not a diagnostic test.
