Find Support
The Kidney Stone Collaborative, KSC, was founded as an organization devoted to advancing kidney stone research and supporting those impacted stone disease. The mission of the KSC is“To enhance the well-being of those affected by kidney stones through accelerated research and advocacy for the kidney stone community.”
To that aim we can provide comprehensive support and assistance to individuals with kidney stones, empowering them to overcome the challenges posed by this condition and improve their overall quality of life. We aim to offer accessible information, fellowship amongst the community, and innovative solutions to promote kidney stone prevention, treatment, and education.
Thank you to Novonordisk for their support in the KSC community programs!
If you are interested in either talking to other stone formers or talking to a patient advocate, please see the groups below.
The Stone-to-Stone Program
We are proud to announce a new initiative, supported in part by Novonordisk to help support the stone community. While stones are very common, nearly 1 in 10 people have had a stone in the United States, when you are suffering from one, patients can feel hopeless and without enough information. For those who feel like talking to someone would be helpful, we invite you to join our Stone-to-Stone program.
