Whether you have been fighting kidney disease for years, have seen a loved one affected by this disease, or just want to help, our UCLA CORE Kidney Program has something for you. Through community outreach, research, and education, we hope to improve the lives of kidney disease patients and their families. We want to eventually eliminate kidney disease so future generations will not be hindered by it.
