Your kidneys play a crucial role in keeping you healthy, yet millions of people worldwide are at risk of kidney disease without even knowing it. This year, World Kidney Day (WKD) 2025, themed “Are Your Kidneys OK? Detect Early, Protect Kidney Health,” focuses on raising awareness about kidney disease risk factors and the importance of early detection.
Why Early Detection Matters
Kidney disease often develops silently, showing no symptoms until it reaches an advanced stage. However, simple tests can help detect kidney problems early, allowing for timely intervention and better health outcomes. Key risk factors include:
High blood pressure
Diabetes
Obesity
Family history of kidney disease
Unhealthy diet and lifestyle
Protect Your Kidney Health
Taking proactive steps can reduce your risk of kidney disease:
Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet
Monitor and control blood sugar and blood pressure
Exercise regularly
Avoid excessive use of painkillers and self-medication
Get regular kidney health check-ups
