The Friday Five – World Kidney Day

Mar 8, 2019 | Posted by Maureen | Celebrations - Awareness, Health IT |

Follow and join the conversation with #WorldKidneyDay

World Kidney Day (@worldkidneyday) is a global awareness campaign aimed at raising awareness of the importance of our kidneys. This week’s Friday Five updates us with the latest facts about kidney disease, how we can support the campaign and how to keep these important organs strong.

Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere!
850 million people worldwide are now estimated to have kidney diseases from various causes. Chronic kidney diseases cause at least 2.4 million deaths per year and are now the 6th fastest growing cause of death. This year, World Kidney Day sets out to raise awareness of the high and increasing burden of kidney diseases worldwide and the need for strategies for kidney diseases prevention and management. The 2019 theme, Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere, calls for universal health coverage for prevention and early treatment of kidney disease.

It’s time to break the barriers to a quality #KidneyCare! Our 2019 campaign “𝗞𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲” calls for universal health coverage for early prevention & treatment of #KidneyDisease.https://t.co/9OIjs0n0j6#WorldKidneyDay pic.twitter.com/14PrxnbEMS

8 Golden Rules 
Kidneys remove waste products from the body by filtering them from the blood sort of like a washing machine. For this reason it is important to keep your kidneys healthy and happy. Follow these eight golden rules to keep your kidneys functioning well.

Spread the Word
