Most Common Kidney Disease Insurance Questions

We answer your most frequently asked questions.

Having a pre-existing medical condition such as Kidney Disease may cause a rating on your life insurance premiums, although rates available for kidney patients have improved in recent years. Here at The Insurance Surgery, the team of advisors know which insurers offer the best rates for your particular condition and severity of symptoms.

Insurers will want a postponement period following a transplant before offering full cover, this is usually two years. This doesn’t mean you need to go without cover at all, The Insurance Surgery can help you arrange some interim cover in this period that would exclude pre-existing conditions. Our advisors carry our regular client reviews and would contact you to update your cover following the specified postponement time.

Don’t worry, a decline elsewhere doesn’t mean we can’t get you cover. With a medical condition such as kidney disease, you are best applying through a specialist broker who knows where best to place your application and who can offer cover for your personal circumstances. The Insurance Surgery has been sourcing cover for those with medical conditions. Since 1999 so we know where to go across the whole of the market.

What is kidney disease?

There are a number of conditions affecting the kidneys such as Polycystic Kidney Disease, Nephritis, and kidney problems stemming from other conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. As a result, the kidneys are made ineffective in the long term making the condition chronic and requiring ongoing management.

Why are the kidneys important?

The role of the kidney is to filter waste, they also assist in the maintenance of blood pressure, control some chemical levels in the body, assist in the production of red blood cells and produce an effective form of vitamin D

How is kidney disease measured?

The disease is given a stage according to GFR readings (glomerular filtration rate) from stages 1-5. This is a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering blood. The lower stages often come with few, if any, symptoms. By stage 3 there is anaemia or early bone disease and treatment is often required. By stage 4-5 dialysis or transplant could be required.
