The Kidney Disease Resource page is intended to provide information on kidney disease and to streamline and simplify the way those with kidney disease may find assistance paying for their medications. Chronic kidney disease, as defined but the National Kidney Foundation, includes conditions that damage kidneys and decrease their ability to keep someone healthy. If kidney disease gets worse, wastes can build to high levels in the blood. Complications like high blood pressure, anemia (low blood count), weak bones, poor nutritional health and nerve damage may occur. Chronic kidney disease may be caused by diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders. Early detection and treatment can often keep chronic kidney disease from getting worse. |
Patient Assistance Programs (PAPs) are programs offered by pharmaceutical companies to help those most in need gain access to their medications at no or low cost. Each program has varying financial and insurance guidelines - when in doubt, call the program. To find the specific PAP information for a specific drug click on the list below. You will then be taken to a listing of all the programs available for that medication. NeedyMeds neither promote nor endorse the therapies listed below nor the supporters of this page.
