Asociación Madrileña para la Lucha contra las Enfermedades Renales.
MOIR-ACTOME will have the participation of the Association for the Fight Against Kidney Diseases - ALCER Madrid, a Madrid-based association of kidney patients. ALCER Madrid has aimed since its foundation to improve the quality of life of patients on dialysis awaiting a kidney transplant. To make this intervention possible, organ donors are necessary. To achieve this, the Association in the Community of Madrid and throughout Spain began awareness campaigns, being pioneers in this type of action. ALCER Madrid was declared of Public Utility by the City Council of Madrid on October 15, 2004, and Declared of Public Utility by the Ministry. The consortium MOIR-ACTOME has contacted them for the possibility of their participation as a non-profit association and to begin a close collaboration with patients with chronic kidney disease associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, as well as to inform them about the research conducted by the consortium in this area.
