World Kidney Day (WKD), 2016

Theme: Kidney Disease & Children: Act Early To Prevent It!

Kidney disease can affect children in various ways, ranging from treatable disorders without long-term consequences to life-threatening conditions.

Acute kidney disease (AKI) is a serious condition that develops suddenly, often lasts a short time and may disappear completely once the underlying cause has been treated and if the patient receives the needed medical management, but it can also have long-lasting consequences with life-long problems.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) doesn’t disappear with treatment and tends to worsen over time. CKD eventually leads to kidney failure (end-stage kidney disease) and needs to be treated with a kidney transplant or blood-filtering treatments (dialysis) for life.

As we celebrate WKD today, let's all join hands together to be our brothers keeper by supporting those living with kidney disease in all ramifications (Psychologically, Financially, Spiritually, Socailly & Morally).
