Today is the 17th World Kidney Day . It’s organized by ISN and IFKF to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health.

In recent years, we are seeing an increase in the trend of chronic kidney disease (CKD ) around the world. However, little did we know the complex nature of kidney disease information. The knowledge gap is stifling the fight against kidney disease and increasing the inherent associated mortality.

The World Kidney Day Joint Steering Committee calls for everyone worldwide to not only be aware of the disease, but to actively know what their own kidney health measures are. For example, what their blood pressure is and what the treatment objectives are.
