IgA nephropathy resource
IgA Nephropathy Foundation
Tito was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy before progressing to kidney failure, dialysis, and transplantation. This page points readers to the IgA Nephropathy Foundation for current disease-specific education, support, patient tools, and community resources.
What the Foundation offers
The Foundation describes itself as a patient-centric organization focused on finding a cure for IgA nephropathy while supporting patients and caregivers. Its current resources include patient guides, treatment information, clinical-trial information, peer support, a nephrology provider finder, patient-aid information, and resources for coping, nutrition, caregivers, and life with IgAN.

Why this resource is here
IgA nephropathy is where Tito's kidney-disease story began. The memoir describes the lived experience of diagnosis, progression to kidney failure, dialysis, and transplant; the Foundation is the better place to go for current IgAN-specific programs and educational material.
Tito Needs a Kidney is independent. Tito does not medically endorse or officially represent the IgA Nephropathy Foundation, and this page is not medical advice.
