SUMMARY:World Kidney Day
DESCRIPTION:World Kidney Day is a global campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our #kidneys. \nOn March 12th\, we invite everyone to celebrate World Kidney Day and advance kidney health education. This years theme is “Are Your Kidneys OK?” -Detect early\, protect\nkidney health. \nChronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect approximately 850 million people worldwide[1]. If left undetected and not treated timely\, CKD can progress to kidney failure\, leading to severe complications and premature mortality. By 2040\, CKD is projected to become the 5th leading cause of years of life lost[2]\, highlighting the urgent need for global strategies to combat kidney disease. \nPopulations at high risk for kidney disease should undergo targeted testing. \nThe major risk factors for kidney disease are: \n\nDiabetes\nHypertension\nCardiovascular disease\nObesity\nFamily history of kidney disease.\n\nSimple\, non-invasive\, and cost-effective tests for high-risk populations include: \n\nBlood pressure measurements to check for hypertension.\nBody Mass Index (BMI)\, which is an estimation of body fat based on height and weight. BMI can be calculated here.\nUrine test:\n\nAlbumin in urine (Albuminuria) to assess kidney damage. Urinary Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR) is preferrable.\n\n\nBlood tests:\n\nGlycosylated haemoglobin or fasting or random glucose to check for type 2 diabetes.\nSerum creatinine (more accurate if in combination with cystatin C) to estimate Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) and evaluate kidney function.\n\n\n\n  \nEarly detection policies for individuals at risk should be implemented globally to reduce the healthcare costs associated with kidney failure and improve quality of life. \nLets talk about our experiences with friends\, family\, colleagues\, social media followers and local media – sharing what it is like to live with kidney disease will really help to raise awareness. \n#WorldKidneyDay #KidneysMatter #KidneyTransplation #KidneyHealth \nSource:  2025 campaign – World Kidney Day 2025 \n  \n  \n
