World Kidney Day - 12th March 2015
Today marks the 10th anniversary of World Kidney Day 2015 (12th March). The aim of World Kidney Day is to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to our overall health and to reduce the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide. The organisers know that if detected early, Chronic Kidney Diseases can be treated; thereby reducing other complications and dramatically reduce the growing burden of deaths and disability from chronic renal and cardiovascular disease worldwide.
Over two million people in the UK are already suffering from moderate to severe kidney disease but it is estimated a further one million people have kidney damage without knowing it. However, depending on the problem, early diagnosis and treatment can help slow down any further damage to the kidneys.
The theme for this year’s World Kidney Day is Kidney Health for All and there are many events taking place around the country. Here at Incontinence UK we encourage you to get involved in World Kidney Day if possible; especially as your kidney plays an important role in your continence. For more information and how to get involved do visit: http://www.worldkidneyday.co.uk/
Here at Incontinence UK we do not want an overactive bladder or your kidneys to stop you from living independently or to disrupt your lifestyle. We therefore provide a wide range of incontinence products to suit your specific needs from incontinence pants to incontinence pads all suitable for people who suffer from incontinence.
Best wishes
