Watch the Conference Presentations
If you missed the live event—or would like to revisit the powerful conversations—you can now watch selected presentations from the 2026 Kidney Disease Impact Conference (KDIC).
These recordings capture the voices of patients, healthcare professionals, and community leaders who are working every day to improve kidney health, increase awareness, and support better outcomes for individuals and families.
You’ll hear practical guidance, real-life experiences, and expert insights on prevention, treatment, and living well with chronic conditions.
Why the Kidney Disease Impact Conference Matters
Kidney disease often develops alongside other chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. These conditions can damage the kidneys over time and may lead to serious health problems if not managed early.
KDIC helps bring awareness to these connections while providing clear, helpful information on how chronic diseases affect kidney health—and what can be done to reduce risk and improve outcomes.
