Let’s talk IgAN

How do you feel? Do you know anyone who really understands your diagnosis and what it means to your everyday life? Believe it or not, but there are thousands of us across Europe – wouldn’t it be good if we could talk?

We’ve set up IgAN Friends because we feel that there’s got to be an easier way to connect with other people living with this rare condition. And between us, there’s a whole wealth of knowledge which we can share to help each other.

Listen to our stories below.

Watch the videos below to meet some members of our IgAN community, and hear their personal experiences.
