Staying active is one of the best things you can do for your health — especially if you’re living with kidney disease. Regular exercise boosts energy, supports your kidneys, and improves overall well-being. With your doctor’s guidance, aim for 30 minutes of activity, three days a week.

For more information about nutrition, activity, and exercise, contact our Nutrition and Fitness department at info@nwkidney.org or call 206-720-3990.

Since 1964, thousands of Northwest Kidney Centers patients have dialyzed at home safely and successfully. Home dialysis offers greater independence and control over your kidney health. With multiple treatment options, you can choose the method and schedule that fit your lifestyle and help you feel your best.

Our home program includes one-on-one nurse training, supply deliveries to your door, and 24/7 nurse support. If home dialysis is right for you, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

For people with advanced kidney disease, a transplant can offer the best chance at a healthier, fuller life. Within the first two weeks of starting dialysis, Northwest Kidney Centers social workers meet with patients to discuss transplant as a treatment option. They provide educational materials and work closely with doctors to address any medical factors that could affect eligibility.

Last year, we celebrated 117 Northwest Kidney Centers patients receiving the life-changing gift of a kidney transplant!
