Developed by Ortho Biotech Products, L.P., in partnership with leading patient and professional organizations, gives physicians, CKD patients and caregivers immediate access to more than 60 Web sites, many of which are operated by educational, non-profit and patient advocacy organizations.

"KidneyResource.com is the first Web-based directory to make locating accurate information about CKD as easy as possible," said Kris Robinson, executive director of AAKP. "The site also offers other important resources, including an easy-to-navigate physician locator and an interactive Anemia Awareness Center, featuring information about anemia related to CKD, an important and often overlooked symptom of the disease."

KidneyResource.com also provides people at significant risk for anemia from CKD with access to a new, self-administered anemia-screening test at no cost.

To develop KidneyResource.com, Ortho Biotech Products, L.P., conducted an in-depth review of kidney disease Web sites, selecting only those offering the most up-to-date and scientifically accurate information. After compiling this information, the company formed a panel of independent experts to serve on an advisory committee for KidneyResource.com. The advisory committee then reviewed each site to ensure the information was credible and current.
