    The National Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR) is a research initiative by UK kidney specialists. It is designed to gather information from patients who with rare kidney diseases. This will give a much better understanding of how these illnesses affect people. It will also speed up research.
    If you agree (consent) to take part, information about your treatment and any medications you are on will be entered into the RaDaR database by a member of your hospital’s research team.

  • Research programme

    Doctors and other researchers who are interested in your specific condition are working together as part of a Rare Disease Group (RDG). They have access to RaDaR to view your anonymised data and that of others with the same condition. Agreeing to take part in RaDaR doesn’t mean you have to take part in any related research projects in the future if you don’t want to. Taking part in RaDaR is entirely voluntary. If you choose not to take part, it will not affect your treatment or medical care in any way.
