Kidney disease is not a disease that affects only a handful of people. Over SEVEN million people have it in the UK. Maybe that’s your neighbour. Your parent. Your work colleague. Your child. Or even you.
Millions of people suffer in silence, facing poor physical and mental health, isolation, stigma, financial hardship, and poor employment opportunities. Meanwhile, research remains critically underfunded and lags behind other major health conditions. This needs to change.
What is World Kidney Day?
World Kidney Day is an annual campaign to help raise awareness of kidneys and show the impact when they don’t work properly. It also aims to educate people on what kidneys do, the symptoms of kidney disease and how to improve your kidney health.
