About

Founded in 1969, KfH is a non-profit association based in Neu-Isenburg, Germany working on health, medical research, children & youth.

KfH is a registered non-profit association in Germany that provides nephrology care for people with kidney disease. It was founded in 1969 to address the shortage of dialysis care in Germany and now operates kidney centres, centres for children and adolescents, medical care centres and home dialysis services across the country. Its work covers diagnosis and treatment of kidney disease at all stages, dialysis in centres and at home, kidney transplant follow-up, social counselling, logistics and medical technology services for dialysis, and continuing education through its own training centre. The association also runs the KfH-Stiftung Nothilfe für Nierenkranke, which supports patients in financial hardship. Its own patient magazine and guides provide information to patients.
