The Women Kidney Program

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to survey women with various types and severity of kidney disease to evaluate the burden of kidney disease on their perceived general health and quality of life, reproductive health (menstrual cycle, transition to menopause, and postmenopause) and sexual health. There is no effective alternative way to gather this information without directly seeking information from the women with kidney disease. The findings of this survey will feed into the University of Minnesota Women Kidney Program.
