The Texas Renal Coalition has represented patients and families with kidney disease for over 16 years, providing public awareness of the disease, promoting educational resources among the numerous councils, agencies, and legislative bodies involved with kidney and related issues, and advocating change where needed of state and federal programs.   The TRC does this through a network of partners.  The TRC is an all-volunteer coalition with no office at this time.  It depends on concerned citizens and corporate and private foundations for its support and receives no funds from the state or federal governments.

The ever-growing costs of diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease pose enormous economic consequences for Texas and the United States.  Facts and figures are available on this web site.  The TRC believes that more success in preventing complications can be gained by educating the general public and the medical profession, and to that end has partnered with the  Department of State Health Services, through its “Love Your Kidneys”  for the general public and “Save Their Kidneys” for medical professionals.  This is a media driven service on the air in several parts of the state at the present.  This site may be checked periodically for sample media spots.

Our programs require financial support just like any other non-profit organization.  You can help by making a donation through this site or by sending a check to the address in Austin.
You can also help by getting involved with Kidney Day at the Capitol, which occurs during each legislative session on the 3rd Tuesday in February.
