For Americans living with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), transplants are the best and most desired treatment. Kidney transplant recipients then rely on immunosuppressive drugs so that their bodies do not reject their kidneys.

For transplant recipients under the age of 65 who have Medicare coverage, immunosuppressive drugs and medications are only covered for 36 months after the date of their transplant surgery. In cases where ESRD patients cannot find alternative health insurance and they can't afford to pay for their immunosuppressive drugs out-of-pocket, they ultimately lose their kidney and must go back on dialysis.

Please send an urgent message to your lawmakers and urge them to support legislation that extends Medicare coverage of immunosuppressive drugs for kidney transplant recipients.

Over the last four years, 2,000 people have joined together to raise nearly $1 million dollars for AKF through our program, KidneyNation.

Thank you in advance for your support—your kindness does not go unnoticed!
