Kidney Care (Non-Dialysis)

BC has a network of 13 Kidney Care Clinics.

Our goal is to help you understand more about your kidney problem. We will work with you to help you keep as much kidney function as possible and make you feel as well as possible. Our Clinics offer medical care, education, support, and practical information.

Kidney Care Clinics provide care for a range of patients, some of whom have mild to moderate loss of kidney function and others who are getting ready for dialysis or a kidney transplant. Some patients come to our Clinic for a few months while others come for several years. Some may never require dialysis or a transplant.
