World Kidney Day is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our kidneys.
About us
World Kidney Day aims to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide. World Kidney day is a joint initiative of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF). Get involved! Celebrated on the second Thursday in March, World Kidney Day pursues the following objectives: - Raise awareness about our "amazing kidneys" - Highlight that diabetes and high blood pressure are key risk factors for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). - Encourage systematic screening of all patients with diabetes and hypertension for CKD. - Encourage preventive behaviours. - Educate all medical professionals about their key role in detecting and reducing the risk of CKD, particularly in high risk populations. - Stress the important role of local and national health authorities in controlling the CKD epidemic. Health authorities worldwide will have to deal with high and escalating costs if no action is taken to treat the growing number of people with CKD. On World Kidney Day all governments are encouraged to take action and invest in further kidney screening. - Encourage transplantation as a best-outcome option for kidney failure, and the act of organ donation as a life-saving initiative. If detected early, Chronic Kidney Diseases can be treated--thereby reducing other complications and dramatically reduce the growing burden of deaths and disability from chronic renal and cardiovascular disease worldwide.

Access to clean water is essential - not just for life, but also for kidney health. On #WorldWaterDay, we highlight the 2.2 billion people living without safe water and the urgent need for action. Clean water is vital for preventing kidney diseases and ensuring overall health. Let’s work towards #SDG6: water and sanitation for all by 2030! #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK #KidneyHealthMatters United Nations

Excess sodium can make it harder for your kidneys to maintain balance, affecting blood pressure and overall health. ⚠️ Be mindful of hidden sodium in processed foods and prioritize cooking from scratch. #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK #KidneyHealthMatters

Who are kidney donors? There are two types: living donors, who voluntarily donate a kidney, and deceased donors, who have previously expressed their wish to donate their organs. Every organ donation is a gift of life 💚 💡 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dhPA7xUF #WorldKidneyDay #AreYourKidneysOK #KidneyHealthMatters

“Pushing for progress simply, and heartbreakingly, requires that more people understand just how tough living with rare kidney disease is.” As she reflects on World Kidney Day and a recent visit from Jen, living with FSGS, our chief medical officer Jula Inrig shares the importance of research and innovation for the RKD community. #AreYourKidneysOK? #RareKidneyDisease #InRareForLife
This World Kidney Day, though progress has been made, we’re not there yet — and we’re not stopping
