In recognition of the worldwide significance of kidney disease as a public health problem, the 5th annual World Kidney Day will be observed on March 11, 2010. The foundation will lead U.S. activities for World Kidney Day to build kidney disease awareness, educate those at risk about the importance of early detection and the critical role the kidneys play in maintaining overall health.
World Kidney Day
To make early detection of chronic kidney disease (CKD) as easy as possible, the foundation is offering free screenings in locations around the U.S. on March 11 through the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP). KEEP is offered to those at risk –anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history– to prevent kidney disease from becoming kidney failure.
National Kidney Foundation
The National Kidney Foundation is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation.
