Welcome to the website of the European Kidney Patients’ Federation (CEAPIR).

CEAPIR is a European non-for-profit organization founded by kidney patients for kidney patients legally based in Vienna, Austria, with working office in Dublin, Ireland.

CEAPIR is the voice of the European kidney patients.

CEAPIR is the European umbrella organisation for currently 23 national kidney patients’ organisations in Europe.

The foundation of our activities is the health and the well being of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients and their carers in all stages of the disease. This includes patients in the phase of early detection, those in dialysis treatment (haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) and after kidney transplantation.

Ceapir is a patient organisation that doesn't approve of organ trade. You'll find the minimum requirements of Ceapir in the Downloads section.

Renal Survey Results

We are carried out a survey of patients across Europe to raise awareness of the lack of information about renal replacement options and reveal whether patient choice is secured.
