International Society of Nephrology’s Post

Kidney disease is one of the world’s leading causes of death — but despite that, general public awareness is very low. Each year, between 5 and 11 million people die from kidney disease. It’s the third fastest-growing cause of death worldwide and the only non-communicable disease with a rising mortality rate. Despite the high prevalence, public awareness of kidney disease is low. It is overlooked, undertreated, and under-resourced in public health policies — making it a dangerous, often silent, killer. But this doesn’t have to be true.  We can change that, by making kidney disease a policy priority.  By signing our petition, you can help shift the focus and demand that policymakers give kidney disease the urgent attention it needs. With your support, we can urge United Nations Member States to call on the World Health Organization to recognize kidney disease as a top priority, potentially saving millions of lives. Sign our petition, and help drive global change. #KidneyHealthMatters https://ow.ly/YlmN50ThwCb+
