Neonatal Kidney Collaborative

The Neonatal Kidney Collaborative (NKC) is a multidisciplinary organization focused on improving kidney health for newborns with, or at risk of, kidney disease. Its mission combines collaborative research, advocacy, and education, while its broader vision is to reduce the global burden of kidney disease by advancing neonatal care. NKC promotes research into the detection and management of kidney disease in vulnerable infants, develops and shares best-practice clinical guidelines, and provides consultative and educational resources for healthcare practitioners, trainees, and families.

The organization supports its community through research initiatives, professional development, virtual symposia, webinars, recorded presentations, and a resource library. Members can access research and publications, participate in collaborative studies, and connect through professional networks and regional chapters, including its Australia and New Zealand chapter. NKC also offers resources for families, such as kidney disease information, patient stories, and a Family Advisory Board. Its website provides membership opportunities, event listings, news, awards, and a mobile app.
