The NephCure Patient Summit

Join us for an empowering and informative experience at the 2024 NephCure Patient Summit and Youth Summit. This event is dedicated to all individuals, caregivers, families, advocates, and healthcare partners impacted by rare, protein-spilling kidney diseases.


Our goal is to provide education, support, and hope to those living with rare kidney disease (RKD). We invite you to connect, learn, and be inspired as we build memories in the historical town of San Antonio, TX.

"This was my first time attending the NephCure Patient Summit and I was so happy I was able to attend. For the first time I truly felt like I wasn't alone while I battle RKD. I walked away with a lot of information to help manage the unknown road ahead."

— Cecily M., Adult Patient

"It was new for me to be surrounded by so many RKD patients, and I loved hearing others' stories of advocating for their health. With every story there was a different path, and we offered each other hope across our similar experiences. I left feeling empowered."

— Seferiana D., Adult Patient

Attending the NephCure Patient Summit can be a life-changing experience for patients, families, and caregivers dealing with RKD.
