World Kidney Day 2022: Kidney Health For All

Category: Health

World Kidney Day is a global campaign to spread awareness about kidney disease. This campaign was launched in 2006 and is celebrated on the 2nd Thursday of March every year. THEME OF WORLD KIDNEY DAY 2022 Every year it has a theme, and the theme for this year is KIDNEY HEALTH FOR ALL. Unlike other organs like the heart (which causes chest pain), Brain (which causes weakness, etc.), Liver (loss of appetite, yellow urine, etc.) which can bring immediate attention, kidney disease remains silent for long periods. When they start producing symptoms it is usually very late except in a few types of kidney failure. Hence they are called “SILENT KILLER.” Kidneys are AMAZING ORGANS. They are silent workers in our bodies. They continue to work round the clock but are very shrewd because they do not cause symptoms. So, we have to be smarter than them to pick their diseases early. Early detection can improve the outcomes of kidney disease. This global campaign aims at spreading awareness about the diseases of the kidney because of late presentations of kidney disease. Late detection has limited medical treatment options.
