Kidney Ally was born from a conversation during Covid, between a kidney transplant patient and the dietitian who understood what patients were missing.

Carl Juresic knew chronic kidney disease from the inside: the diagnosis, the confusing food rules, the fear, and eventually the transplant. Ruth Kander, a specialist renal dietitian, had spent decades watching patients leave appointments with a leaflet and a list of foods they couldn't eat, and little else. Together they asked a simple question: why is it so hard to live well with CKD?

Then Matthew Walton joined. At just 17, he is one of the most talented young developers in the UK, and entirely self-taught. He built Kidney Ally's app and full technology platform from the ground up. For Matthew, this isn't a side project. His grandmother lives with kidney disease, and he writes every line of code knowing it could make her life easier.

Three generations. Three perspectives. One mission: to help everyone living with CKD take control of their health and thrive.

Today, more than 75,000 people across the UK, US and Australia use Kidney Ally for personalised nutrition guidance, trusted education, and a community that truly understands. Clinical expertise and lived experience, built by people who've been there, for people who are there now.

Because no one should have to manage kidney disease alone.
