About NIH/National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse

The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse was established in 1987 to increase knowledge and understanding of diseases of the kidneys and urologic system among patients, their families, healthcare professionals, and the general public. To carry out this mission, NKUDIC works with a coordinating panel of representatives from federal agencies, national voluntary organizations, professional groups and state health departments to identify and respond to information needs about kidney and urologic diseases.
