About RKD & Me
A Bridge to Kidney Health
RKD & Me is a community initiative from Travere Therapeutics. Our mission is to increase awareness of rare kidney disease and empower people across the country to take charge of their kidney health.
We provide disease education, share resources, and foster community for people and families impacted by rare kidney disease.
More than 37 million Americans live with kidney disease, yet 9 out of 10 don’t know they have it. Rare kidney diseases like focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and IgA nephropathy (IgAN) often progress faster than more common forms of kidney disease, affecting younger people and disproportionately impacting communities of color.
RKD & Me LEARN
A kidney disease diagnosis can feel overwhelming and management can feel complicated.
We provide ways to get your questions answered through our education team.
RKD & Me COMMUNITY
Connection and support for rare kidney disease may feel hard to find.
We bring the kidney community together through free events across the country where people can find resources and share their experiences.
RKD & Me SHARE
People living with RKD have unique experiences to share, and RKD & Me puts rare kidney disease front and center.
We foster greater understanding and help people living with RKD and caregivers share their stories through powerful letters they have written to their young selves, poems, and video diaries.
