Kidney care knowledge, assembled for India

Plain-language kidney-care knowledge, sourced statistics, and care navigation for India.

Sourced statisticsDefinitive guidesCare directoryEmbed-ready charts

Chronic kidney disease is common in India and most of it is preventable or manageable when caught early. This platform turns three things — reliable numbers, plain-language guides, and a working directory — into one place you can trust. Nothing here is advice a clinician should not give you; it is the honest groundwork that makes the conversation with your doctor shorter.

Centres and organisations in our directory

The directory begins with a set of kidney-care profiles we have reviewed and a group of national institutions that carry authority in India. Every entry links out to the organisation's own site so you can verify what it offers.

Honest navigation, never commerce. Organ donation in India is governed by THOTA and is strictly altruistic. If anyone offers to sell a kidney or buys one for money, that is illegal and exploitative — report it. We will never link to any such operation.

Is this medical advice?

No. Everything here is education and navigation support. No page provides diagnosis, treatment advice, or a personal clinical recommendation — always talk to a qualified clinician about your own health.

Where do your statistics come from?

Every figure on the statistics page carries a named source and year, linked to the original publication so it can be checked. Figures are reviewed on a recurring schedule and corrected when sources change.

What does this site link to?

A care directory of kidney-care centres and national institutions we have reviewed, plus government and professional bodies. We never sell organs and never endorse commercial organ deals — donation in India is altruistic under THOTA.

How do I get help for a kidney problem?

Start with the guides for plain-language information, then use the directory to find a care centre or national institution near your region, and consult a clinician directly. Never act on information found online alone.

Educational use only. The Nephron Network provides general health and care-navigation information for a lay audience in India. It is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
