hemodialysis, diet for the patients with renal diseases and etc. Free health
checkups are organized such as screening of blood glucose level, creatinine
level, urine test, blood pressure and etc by the courtesy of health minister
for the general public.
5. How to Take Care of Your Kidneys
Before knowing the points of kidneys care, you must have to
answer yourself of some questions like are you at risk, do you suffering from
the high blood pressure, do you have diabetes, do you have an earlier family
history of kidney disease, are you obese or overweight, do you have smoking
habit, are you more than 50 years of age, are you belong of African,
Aboriginal, Hispanic or Asian origin.
If your answers are yes to any of the question, you must
meet your health practitioner or doctor to get the right solution as some early
chronic kidney diseases never show any signs or symptoms. If you are really
health conscious then meet your doctor to avoid any type of delay in the kidney
failure as well as get the right treatment early at the right time. You would
be surprised that a person with a simple kidney problem can lose up to 90% of
his kidney functions without experiencing any signs or symptoms.
6. Follow the following 8 Golden Rules for
Better Kidney Prevention
Any of the kidney disease attacks like a silent killer and
affect the quality of life. Below are mentioned some easy steps to get
prevented from the risk of developing kidney problems:
Help your kidneys by keeping yourself fit and active as
exercises helps in reducing blood pressure and thus reduces the risk of
developing Chronic Kidney Disease. This event celebration motivates people for
daily walking, running and cycling exercises.
Help your kidneys by maintaining and controlling the normal
the blood sugar level as high blood sugar level lead to the diabetes and thus
kidney damage. This event celebration motivates people with diabetes to get
regular medications, tests and check up of their kidney functions.
Make your kidneys healthy by regular monitoring of your
blood pressure as high blood pressure lead to the heart attack or stroke thus
causes kidney damage. The normal blood pressure level of any person is 120/80.
This event celebration encourages people to adopt healthy lifestyle and dietary
changes, discuss their problems with doctor, monitor blood pressure on regular
basis and etc.
Keep your kidneys healthy by eating healthy and maintaining
normal weight as overweight and unhealthy eating habit lead to the diabetes,
heart diseases and many other problems lead to the Chronic Kidney Disease. This
event celebration motivates people about the dietary habits and weight control
measures like reducing the salt intake (5-6 grams or 1 tsf of salt a day),
limit the intake of processed or restaurant foods, daily physical exercises and
etc.
Keep your kidneys healthy by maintaining the normal fluid
intake on daily basis (at least 3 to 4 litres a day) as it helps the kidneys to
filters out sodium, urea and other body toxins from body which may lead to the
risk of developing chronic kidney diseases. World kidney day celebration on
global basis encourages the people about proper fluid intake.
Keep your kidneys healthy and fit by avoiding smoking or getting
in contact with other smoking person as it slows down the blood flow to the
kidneys which lessens their ability to function well as well as enhances the
risk of kidney cancer by 50%. This event celebration promotes the people to
keep their kidneys healthy by demonstrating the loss through smoking.
Keep your kidneys healthy by avoiding the intake counter
pills on regular basis as these are non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
(ibuprofen) which may lead to the kidney damage and various diseases. Such
medications may cause arthritis or back pain and put your kidneys at risk.
Keep your kidneys healthy by getting proper and regular
check up of your kidney functions and developing of diabetes, hypertension,
obese, family history of kidney disease and etc.
7. Symptoms of Kidney Problems
Most of the people never show symptoms until it gets advance
however, some of the symptoms like swollen ankles and legs, fatigue, early
tiredness, difficulty in concentration, low appetite, haematuria or occurrence
of blood in urine, albuminoria or foamy urine or occurrence of albumin protein
in urine and etc can be felt if noticed carefully. Some other symptoms of
reduced kidney functions are:
Alteration in the amount of urine, appearance of urine and
frequency of passing urine during night
Pain in abdomen in the kidney areas
Difficulty in sleeping
High blood pressure
Headache
Shortness of breath
Feeling of vomiting or vomiting
Bad breath
Early Detection of Kidney Diseases
Most of the people ignore their common problem that’s why
they remain undiagnosed in the early stages of kidney problems. World kidney
day celebration is a way to call everyone on stage at one place in order to get
checked early if developing or having any risk of kidney disease. This event
celebration brings people together and encourages them about the simple kidney
function tests to get diagnosed of any risk factors which may lead to kidney
problems.
Never let your kidney problems to destroy your precious
kidney functions as it progresses very silently without any symptoms. The early
detection of kidney problem is very necessary to get the suitable treatment to
prevent your kidney damage, deterioration and complications. Through this event
celebration, simple laboratory tests of kidney are carried out by taking small
samples of blood in order to measure the values of creatinine, albumin
excretion and estimate the GFR (glomerular filtration rate).
The availability of Serum Creatinine level in the blood,
albumin in urine and blood sugar level measures the overall kidney health and
its functions or Glomerular Filtration Rate. Creatinine, a waste product comes
from the muscle activity, is generally getting removed from blood through the
normal kidney functions, when its level rises in blood it denotes the slowness
in kidney function. Normal GFR is 100 ml/min, but when it falls below 60 ml/min
it indicates some serious kidney problems and immediate need to meet your
kidney specialist. The presence of albumin in urine indicates the risk of GFR
problem and premature heart attacks or strokes.
8. World Kidney Day Themes

has not stopped growing ever since. The every year campaign of celebration
highlights a particular theme:
The theme of World Kidney Day 2006 was “Are your kidneys

Disease (CKD) and aging”.
The theme of World Kidney Day 2015 is “Kidney Health for
All”.
The theme of World Kidney Day 2016 would be “Kidney Disease
& Children: Act Early to Prevent It”.
V.
THE THEME OF WORLD KIDNEY DAY 2017: “KIDNEY DISEASE &
OBESITY” Healthy lifestyle for healthy kidneys.
1. Definition of Obesity
The Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat
accumulation that may impair health. In 2014, worldwide over 600 million adults
were obese.
Obesity is a potent risk factor for the development of
kidney disease. It increases the risk of
developing major risk factors of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), like diabetes
and hypertension, and it has a direct impact on the development of CKD and end
stage renal disease (ESRD): in individuals affected by obesity, the kidneys
have to work harder, filtering more blood than normal (hyperfiltration) to meet
the metabolic demands of the increased body weight. The increase in function
can damage the kidney and raise the risk of developing CKD in the long-term.
The good news is that obesity, as well as CKD, is largely
preventable. Education and awareness of the risks of obesity and a healthy
lifestyle, including proper nutrition and exercise, can dramatically help in
preventing obesity and kidney disease.
This year World Kidney Day promotes education about the
harmful consequences of obesity and its association with kidney disease,
advocating healthy lifestyle and health policy measures that make preventive behaviors
an affordable option.
2. The relation between Kidney Disease and
Obesity
Kidney disease is more likely to develop in obese people
including in those with diabetes and hypertension.
By 2025, obesity will affect 18% of men and over 21% of
women worldwide, and that severe obesity will affect 6% of all men and 9% of
all women around the world. In some nations, obesity is already present in more
than one-third of the adult population and contributes significantly to overall
poor health and high annual medical costs.
In the general population, obesity increases the risk of
death and contributes to many other diseases such as heart disease, diabetes,
hypertension, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, fatty liver, gall
bladder disease, osteoarthritis, various cancers, mental disorders, and poor
quality of life.
A growing body of evidence indicates that obesity is also a
potent risk factor for the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
end-stage renal disease (ESRD). People who are overweight or obese have 2 to 7
more chances of developing ESRD compared to those of normal weight. Obesity may
lead to CKD both indirectly by increasing type 2 diabetes, hypertension and
heart disease, and also by causing direct kidney damage by increasing the
workload of the kidneys and other mechanisms.
3. Reducing obesity may reverse or slow CKD
progression.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious condition that
develops suddenly, often lasts a short time and may disappear completely once
the underlying cause has been treated, but it can also have long-lasting
consequences with life-long problems. AKI occurs more frequently in obese
people.
Therefore, this is a joint event with the below planned
activities to cover the whole month of March from 1st March to 31st
March, 2017.
