When babies are born they have a screening for multiple diseases, but not chronic kidney disease. This petition is for the NHS to make screening available. Many babies like my own miss treatments which would prevent further damage.

My little boy was born in August, normal healthy baby, nothing was picked up on my scans during pregnancy, nor after birth. We didn’t know he had chronic kidney disease stage 4 until a very frightening admission into hospital. The 2 weeks he was in the world his body was shutting down and we didn’t know, if he was treated before this the damage wouldn’t be so severe. Something so simple to include on early screenings could have prevented him needing a life-saving transplant.
