World Kidney Day is a worldwide health awareness campaign that is observed every year on the second Thursday of March.
It is a joint effort by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations - World Kidney Alliance (IFKF-WKA).
The day has been observed every year since 2006 and is significant as it provides for the advocacy of good kidney health for all.
The theme for World Kidney Day 2023 is “Kidney Health for All – Preparing for the unexpected, supporting the vulnerable.”
The first World Kidney Day was celebrated around the theme of “Are your kidneys OK?”
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are located in the abdomen. They play a vital role in removing waste and excess fluids from the body, regulating blood pressure, producing red blood cells, and maintaining the balance of electrolytes in the body.
