Patient participants are needed for anNIH-funded research project studying the connection between ESRD and Lupus. The Ohio State University Medical Center Division of Nephrology, working as part of a national consortium, has reacently launched this study in our Network area.
This site is sponsored by The Patient Services Department of The Renal Network, Inc. (ESRD Network 9 and 10). The Renal Network Inc. is part of the 18 end-stage renal disease networks contracted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
This site was designed to meet the needs of kidney patients and their families in the Network-area states of Delaware, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois. However, most of the information, materials and resources on this site are for all who wish to learn more about kidney disease, treatment options and care.
To learn more about the Network's policies and guidelines, visit the About section of The Renal Network site.
