FAMILY SUPPORT
Krabbe UK offers practical advice and support to affected families.
We are mainly family members who have experience of caring for children with Krabbe disease.
We have relationships with other charities and organisations who aim to provide help such as equipment provision and respite care.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis
Diagnosis can be difficult. Early onset symptoms can be mild and diagnosis can take time. Diagnosis is usually confirmed by an MRI scan of the brain, followed by blood tests.
Care
Care
We aim to ensure families with loved ones diagnosed with Krabbe get the care they need, whether by giving practical advice and support or by putting them in touch with the right people. We offer to support families every step of the way.

Equipment
