Kidney disease currently affects around 850 million people worldwide. One in ten adults has chronic kidney disease (CKD). Being diagnosed with kidney disease can be a huge challenge, both for the patient and those people around them.

This year World Kidney Day continues to raise awareness of the increasing burden of kidney diseases worldwide and to strive for kidney health for everyone, everywhere. 2021 theme is “Living Well with Kidney Disease” to increase education and awareness about effective symptom management and patient empowerment, with the ultimate goal of encouraging life participation.

Get involved this March by:

• Educating friends and family on the importance of kidney health
• Spreading awareness on social media
• Making a donation
