About Us
The Women Kidney Program (WKP) is a novel single-center registry for women with kidney disease.

Our Goal
The overall purpose is to help advance the field of nephrology through the rigorous study of women affected by different types of kidney disease, with the main objective to better understand and care for women with kidney disease.

What is different about women with kidney disease?
Kidney disease, such as chronic kidney disease is more prevalent in women compared to men, and women face higher prevalence of sex-specific issues such as menstrual disorders, infertility, sexual dysfunction, and earlier menopause. Enhancing knowledge and awareness about women's health topics is crucial in optimizing the care and overall health of women with kidney disease. 

Studies Involve:

  • Looking at medical data
  • Listening to and learning from patient's stories
  • Tracking participants over time
  • Carrying out surveys of different measures related to women's health

These methods help the research team collect detailed information about women with kidney disease and study risk factors to improve clinical outcomes.

Current and New Patients:

Thank you for participating in the WKP research at University of Minnesota. If your contact information changes, such as you move, please call or email (wkp@umn.edu) the study coordinator with your new contact information so we can stay in touch.
