Refer Your Patients to the LE&RN Global Registry for Lymphatic Diseases™
The mission of the upgraded LE&RN Global Registry for Lymphatic Diseases is to establish the world’s most comprehensive patient-centered registry to inspire groundbreaking research, expedite the development of treatment options, and establish a path leading to the cure for lymphatic diseases (LD). As dedicated lymphatic researchers and health care providers, your patients’ participation in the registry is crucial for accelerating breakthroughs. Encourage them to enroll today at https://lymphaticnetwork.org/ldregistry and be an integral part of pioneering research that holds the promise of transforming the landscape of lymphatics. Everyone living with LDs, including primary and secondary LE, lipedema, and lymphatic anomalies, is welcome to join. Parents or guardians can also grant permission for their children to enroll.

The LE&RN Resource Center (LRC) is a complimentary global support service to assist the lymphatic community in navigating the complexities of LD, including LE, lipedema, and lymphatic anomalies. We serve people living with LDs and their families, caretakers, and health care providers. The LRC can help find specialized care through the Centers of Excellence network, locate certified LE therapists, and provide educational resources.
