American Association of Kidney Patients

Empowering Kidney Patients Since 1969

The American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP) is the oldest and largest independent kidney patient organization in the United States. Founded in 1969 by six dialysis patients, AAKP has been a powerful advocate for kidney patients, elevating their voices in the national healthcare arena. The organization focuses on providing educational resources and fostering a supportive community for kidney patients and their families.

Making a Lasting Impact

AAKP has played a crucial role in advocating for the Medicare End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Program, which has saved over one million lives since its inception in 1973. Through education, advocacy, and patient engagement, AAKP continues to improve the quality of life and long-term outcomes for kidney patients across the nation.
