You might be worried about the impact of your condition on your education. Talking to your school, college or University can help as they may be able to support you or help you to access services you aren't aware of. It can sometimes help just knowing they are aware. You can talk to your team too about any worries or to think about how best to communicate about your condition.

Having a kidney condition doesn't mean you can't do work experience or have part time jobs or full-time employment. If you require dialysis or a period of time off work talk to your employer and seek advice from the kidney team to discuss your options. You might be able to get specialist support and employment advice.

Once you reach the age of 16 you may be eligible for PIP. Please discuss with your kidney team. Help and advice is also available via Kidney Care UK.
