AMAZING KIDNEYS
ARE YOURS HEALTHY?
World Kidney Day (WKD) is a global health awareness campaign focusing on the importance of our kidneys and reducing the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide. The campaign is celebrated every year on the second Thursday of March in more than 100 countries on 6 continents.
World Kidney Day will be held on 12 March 2009.
"Keep the pressure down"
The 2009 campaign highlights the importance of high blood pressure as one of the key symptoms and causes of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
Around the world we are organizing a collective march
“on the move for kidney health”.
We will call on everyone to check if they are at risk for kidney disease and to encourage more people to take simple kidney tests.
Every year millions die prematurely of kidney failure or heart attacks and strokes linked to chronic kidney disease (CKD). WKD encourages everyone to learn more about their amazing kidneys and to raise awareness of the fact that that kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable
