About the Renal Association

The Renal Association is the professional body for United Kingdom nephrologists (renal physicians, or kidney doctors) and renal scientists in the UK. It is active in the planning and development of renal services and nephrology in Britain. It is also involved in the promotion and dissemination of research and education relating to the specialty. The Association was founded in 1950, when its activities were restricted to holding scientific meetings. It has more recently come to play an active role in the development of renal services within the U.K. In January 2010 The British Association of  Paediatric Nephrology became a division of The Renal Association.

The objects of the Association are:

  • To advance, collate and disseminate knowledge of renal structure and function
  • To seek means for the prevention and treatment of renal disorders
  • To deal with any matters concerning the welfare of patients with renal diseases and the organisation of services for their relief

Legal Status The Renal Association is registered in England & Wales as Company 2229663, limited by guarantee and registered as charity number 800733.
