Many Spanish-speaking kidney patients are bilingual and easily converse and read in both Spanish and English. Some people, though, prefer or enjoy reading in Spanish. This list of resources provides various categories of articles, many from our patient newsletter, the Kidney Citizen.  It is by no means exhaustive and new resources will continue to be added. The categories will help you choose your topic of interest so you can easily share articles with family and friends. As always, you can use the Google Language tool to convert our other pages to Spanish.
