Podcasts about world kidney day

Over the course of our lifetime, we around 34,000 litres of urine, according to Business Insider. Urine evacuates the nitrogen-containing waste produced by the organs and expelled into the blood, like urea and uric acid for example. It's also made up of water and mineral salts. It tends to be a clear shade of yellow, ranging from pale to dark at different times of the day. Nevertheless, our pee can come in as many as ten different shades, which can on occasion lead to unpleasant surprises when going to the bathroom. Some are due to what we eat and drink, while others are caused by health conditions like urinary infections, diabetes or kidney stones. As we approach World Kidney Day, which falls on 9th March every year, let's take a moment to go through all those various colours and what they may mean from a health perspective. To start out, why is it yellow most of the time? What are the oddest colours urine can take on? What if the colour doesn't go back to normal? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Today is World Kidney Day. In celebration of World Kidney Day 2025, the Irish Kidney Association (IKA), the registered charity which supports thousands of kidney patients and their families across the country, is launching a national fundraising drive alongside its ‘1 in 10 People' kidney health awareness campaign. The IKA is calling on individuals, families, businesses and organisations across the country to help make a difference in the lives of people living with and affected by kidney disease and support it in its provision of vital services to kidney patients and their families. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Chairperson of the Clare branch, Dermot Hayes. Photo(C): DZ Lab from Getty Images via canva

The Clare branch of the Irish Kidney Assocation says it's "lobbying very hard" for a dialysis unit in Clare this World Kidney Day. In conjunction with the annual awareness day which has rolled around again, the Irish Kidney Association, or IKA, has launched its '1 in 10 People' campaign to shine a light on kidney health awareness. The campaign, according to the IKA, is intended to make people more aware of kidney-related health conditions. It's estimated that one in 10 people in Ireland and one in seven over the age of 50 are living with Chronic Kidney Disease or CKD. Of these, a startling 98% don't know they have the condition which is on track to be the fifth leading cause of death here by 2040. Clare people in need of renal care currently have to go either to University Hospital Limerick or its satellite centre on the Dock Road in Limerick. While the HSE had at one point said Ennis Hospital would have a dialysis unit by the end of this year, this has now been pushed back to November 2026. Chairperson of the Clare branch of the IKA Dermot Hayes people here are travelling an exceptional distance to access the care they need. At this week's meeting of Clare County Council, Clarecastle Sinn Féín Councillor Tommy Guilfoyle tabled a motion seeking clarity on the delivery of the Ennis dialysis unit. Specifically, he's requested a precise timeline on the commencement of services, confirmation of its location, details of the contractor and confirmation of the project's current status. He says many in this county are confused and need answers as a matter of urgency.

In Episode 129 of the Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, released in the lead-up to World Kidney Day, host Dee Moore sits down with Benjamin, a resilient Kidney Warrior whose story is a testament to faith, hope, and determination.   During a family visit to Barbados in 2020, Benjamin discovered he had dangerously high blood pressure — a moment that would mark the beginning of his own kidney disease journey. At the time, Benjamin was already caring for a loved one living with kidney disease, making the diagnosis even more overwhelming.   In this inspiring episode, Benjamin shares the emotional and physical challenges of navigating kidney failure, including the shocking reality of seeing his kidney function plummet to just 6%. Through it all, his unwavering faith and the support of his loved ones carried him from dialysis to receiving a life-saving kidney transplant.   Incredibly, just one week after marrying his wife, Benjamin received the call that a donor kidney was available — a turning point that changed everything.   As World Kidney Day approaches, Benjamin's story highlights the importance of self-care, early detection, organ donation, and maintaining hope in the face of adversity. Whether you are a Kidney Warrior, supporting a loved one, or simply want to learn more about kidney health, this episode is a powerful reminder that choosing to live with purpose and gratitude can transform any journey.   Follow Diary of a Kidney Warrior

Nieres ir orgāns, par kura darbību parasti daudz neraizējamies, līdz tas par sevi atgādina. Tomēr – nieres ir pelnījušas mūsu rūpes un uzmanību, jo tās nodrošina organismam vitāli svarīgas funkcijas. Par visu vairāk raidījumā Kā labāk dzīvot. Raidījuma viesi: Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes asociētā profesore, Latvijas Nefrologu asociācijas prezidente, virsārste P.Stradiņa klīniskajā universitātes slimnīcas Nefroloģijas centrā Ieva Ziediņa un pacienti Ansis Straupmanis un Lija Miķelsone. 14.martā atzīmē starptautiskā Pasaules Nieru dienu (World Kidney Day 2024). Ar to solidarizējas arī Latvijas Nefrologu asociācija, kura sadarbībā ar citiem laikā no 7.martā līdz 14.martam aktualizēs svarīgāko par nieru veselību, tostarp par tendencēm un izaicinājumiem. Pasaules Nieru dienu katru gadu marta otrajā ceturtdienā aizsāka Starptautiskā nefroloģijas biedrība un Starptautiskā nieru fondu federācija. 7. martā Rīgas Stradiņa universitātes centrālās ēkas vestibilā no plkst.14 līdz 18 ikvienam interesentam būs iespēja bez maksas izmērīt asinsspiedienu, noteikt glikozes līmeni asinīs un saņemt mikroalbuminūrijas testu ar instrukciju tā veikšanai mājās. Varēs uzzināt arī par nieru veselības veicināšanas principiem un hroniskas nieru slimības riska faktoriem. Ieva Ziediņa atklāj, ka pasākumi būs domāti gan veselības aprūpes speciālistiem, kā ar izglītojoši pasākumi ikvienam. Pacienti dalīsies ar saviem stāstiem. Mazāk grib stāstīt jaunāki cilvēki, jo darba devēju attieksme ir dažāda. Ārste mMudina pieaugušos reizi gadā nodot urīna analīzes un arī asins analīzes pie ģimenes ārsta. Turklāt svarīgi ir nodot arī urīnu, kas sniedz daudz plašāku ainu par cilvēka veselību. Urīna izmeklējumi ļauj pārbaudīt nieru veselību un līdz ar novērst, piemēram, nieru mazspēju par 10 – 15 gadiem.

Welcome to Donor Diaries' Season 1 closer! In Season 1 of Donor Diaries, we covered a range of topics.  We covered how to ask somebody for a kidney, the pains and history of dialysis, how to manifest a kidney, kidney chains, living donor protections, the racial disparity that exists in our current transplant system, the economic value of a kidney, kidney donor athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Insider's guide to living donation, and the exciting world of bone marrow.  Phew, what a great year!  In Episode 12 we revisit some highlights from Season 1 and catch up with Johnna and Mary from Episode 1, to see how Johnna is doing post-transplant, and Mary, post-donation.  We also check in with the Kidney Donor Athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, summiting on World Kidney Day!Over 100,000 people are out there right now waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant.  At least 13 people die a day waiting for one they never get.  Plain and simple- living donation solves this problem, this is a solvable problem! We have close to a dozen living donors on Donor Diaries this season, and they are all living proof that someone who donates a kidney goes on to live a totally normal and healthy life and has the same life expectancy of somebody with two kidneys.  Is living donation meant for everyone?  No, absolutely not!  But, it is a great option for some, that saves and improves lives of everyday people like you and me.  You don't have to wait until you die to donate a kidney.  You can do it now and see the ripple effect of your donation while you are still alive.We are taking a short break to start working on Season 2 of Donor Diaries, and hope you join us for Season 2 at the end of summer 2022.  Season 2 will feature more exciting transplant topics and human-interest stories about living kidney donation meant to educate and inspire! Show NotesDonor Diaries Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/DonorDiariesPodcastCrowdSource for Life Documentary:  https://www.crowdsourceforlife.com/index.phpNational Kidney Donation Organization:  https://www.nkdo.org/National Organ Donation Registry:  https://www.organdonor.gov/

Mayo Clinic living donor Mike Peshut is one of 22 kidney donors who will climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a group called Kidney Donor Athletes. The goal of the One Kidney Climb is to reach the summit on World Kidney Day, which is Thursday, March 10. Peshut donated a kidney on behalf of his wife, Annie, in February 2019. Peshut tried to be a direct donor, but he was not a match for his wife. Through paired-organ donation, he became part of a six-kidney donation chain, allowing Annie to receive a kidney. In paired donation, two or more organ-recipient pairs trade donors so that each recipient gets an organ that is compatible with his or her blood type. Peshut recently met his recipient, who credits him with giving her more time with her family, including her 13 grandchildren.More than 90,000 people in the U.S. await a lifesaving kidney transplant. An estimated 20 people die every day because a needed is not donated in time.Now Peshut is focused on sharing his story and encouraging others to become organ donors. The Mount Kilimanjaro climb is a public way to show that living organ donation doesn't limit the donor."Don't be afraid. Don't sit on the sidelines," says Mike. "If you're healthy, you can donate a kidney to help save someone else's life. It's really, really rewarding." On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Peshut join host Dr. Halena Gazelka, a Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist, to share his message about organ donation.

March is National Kidney Month and March 10th is World Kidney Day. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid published these details in an April 2021 report entitled Chronic Kidney Disease Disparities: “Racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities exist in the quality of primary care for patients with chronic kidney disease and CKD risk factors. Low-income, racial, and ethnic minority patients are less likely to receive recommended care related to CKD risk factors and are less likely to reduce CKD risk through recommended treatment goals (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol control). Racial and ethnic minorities are also more likely to progress from CKD to end-stage renal disease (ESRD)—also known as end-stage kidney disease (ESKD)—and are less likely to have been under the care of a nephrologist before starting dialysis.” My guests Ursula Sharp and Virginia Clay share their journey living with chronic kidney disease, their treatment, and the critical factors that enable them to live a good quality of life.  Dr. Prayus Tailor, MD, FASN: Nephrologist, Medical Director, FKC Brandywine Home Therapies Newark, Delaware, and Jed Dadson: Marketing leader in Renal Care discuss what you need to know about chronic kidney disease, the treatment pathways, and the barriers that exist in the black community.

Meet Bobby McLaughlin, Tracey Hulick, Steve Wilson and Patty Graham from the Kidney Donor Athletes (KDA) who are in Tanzania right now getting ready to climb Mt Kilimanjaro with 18 other living kidney donors.  The coolest part?  They summit on March 10 which is World Kidney Day!KDA is a community of kidney donors who have a commitment to moving their bodies for overall health and wellness. They cover the entire spectrum of athletes from the majority who do what we can when we can, to those who are more inspired to do some crazy activities!KDA is using this climb to bring awareness to living donation, demonstrate what is possible post-donation, and to launch initiatives which inspire, support and educate people about the experience of living donation.  When you donate a kidney, you do not give away your own personal strength or vitality.  These athletes are living proof that you can still live a full and active life after donating a kidney.  Join us for a fun and candid interview with these exceptional people!From Bobby McLaughlin, President of KDA:  “We want everyone to know that you too can donate a kidney to help save someone's life. How amazing is it to save someone's life with something you have inside you that you don't even need!!! You don't need to be a superstar athlete, you just need to be healthy enough to be cleared to donate, and we are living proof that after donation you can carry on living a fully adventurous life! One day it will be so amazing to have people think about donating a kidney as many people think about donating blood. And then our hope after that is one day, we will find a kidney transplant waitlist that reads zero. From the rooftop of Africa to people everywhere, may you be inspired to consider creating a most wondrous ripple in our universe!"KDA Facebook PageOne Kidney Climb TeamKidney Donor Athletes on YouTubeKidney Donors Live LongerFear Factor, Abigail Marsh

Living with kidney disease is extremely challenging. The treatment and lifestyle changes that are required for the management of kidney disease can be very difficult for patients to accept, especially when they feel that they are not able to live normal lives. In line with the theme of this year’s World Kidney Day, which is ‘Living Well with Kidney Disease’, we speak to consultant nephrologist Dr Syama Prasad Menon on how to empower people with kidney disease to participate more actively in the management of their condition.

EP 50 - WHAT TO WRITE ABOUT This episode is for those of you who are business owners, marketing and sales.   This is the continuation of the series that started with episode 45 on marketing.  This episode takes a deeper dive into email marketing, specifically about creating content.  What will you write about? It’s one of the most asked questions  If you are just getting started, have  your staff go through their outbox and write down the topic of the last 10 emails they sent to clients. What was the topic?  On the P&C side, they were probably on certificates of insurance, changing vehicles, adding jewelry, claims, and during the pandemic, what’s covered and not covered. Right there you have 6 topics that are insurance related. But do you want your email to be focused on insurance? Do you want your email to be focused on business or the community? There’s no wrong here. Your content needs to be valuable and relevant to your audience,  based on your location, your niche, your agency goals.  This is where planning is essential. What do you want your brand to represent.  For some of you in rural communities, talking about what is going on in the community could be essential. Or creating your own events could be the focus of your emails.  Maybe you mix it up a little and one campaign is about insurance and one is about the community.  If you are focused on the business market, maybe you feature one of your business clients - interview them  If you are focused on the marine market, maybe you write about new trends in the industry.  Maybe you just send out email campaigns based on the holiday of the month. There’s a lot from donut day to peach pie day with some of the better known holidays as well.  Here’s where you start Create a content calendar. This is as simple as taking a piece of paper and dividing it into 2 column with 12 boxes. This is assuming you are sending one email campaign a month, but even with this strategy, you could send more per month., and I’ll show you that in a minute. In the left column, write each month of the year. In the right column, you write down the topic you’ll write about.  You could pick 12 insurance topics from the list I recommended you create a minute ago from sent emails. Another idea is to pick the holidays - you can google yearly holidays and you’ll see many lists of different holidays during the year. You can pick one a month and then create a calendar around that.  Here’s an example of doing something not related to insurance at all but something that might be of interest to many of your clients and prospects. And if you are creative, you can probably incorporate some insurance into some of these as well. Jan National Hug Day, National Milk Day, National Bird Day, National Hot Chocolate Day Feb World Cancer Day, National Cheddar Day, Presidents Day, National Pizza Day Mar International Women’s Day, National Napping Day, World Kidney Day, Spring Equinox April Bicycle Day, Denim Day, National High Five Day, National Siblings Day If you used National Hot Chocolate day, you could offer hot chocolate at your office for the day to anyone that comes by, get a stand in a local park and serve it or at a polar plunge event. You could send out one or two announcements about the event, write an article about the history of hot chocolate, offer different recipes for making hot chocolate, create a contest about who likes it with marshmallows and without. So many opportunities to touch the community and meet new people that could potentially be prospects and clients for you! If you are targeting homeowners, young families and life insurance, maybe you pick bicycle day. What if you raffled off a bicycle, maybe you have a bicycle clinic at your office and invite members of the community to bring their bikes by for a check-up and hire a local bicycle shop to help out. Maybe you have a helmet awareness day on bicycle day to help kids understand how to properly wear them and make sure they are properly fitted.  Now here’s something for those of you focused on business. Start with a theme of the month - then see what other activities you can create around the theme as part of your marketing.    Jan Budgeting - Interview a CPA, a money manager and provide a list of resources for creating a budget. Talk about the benefits of a budget and maybe create a contest for people to create a budget in January and submit to you for a prize drawing in February. Feb Legal - interview a business attorney - what do business owners need to address in contracts - contracts with employees, with vendors, with subcontractors. Consider having a virtual session where your clients can ask questions. You could also bring in an attorney with a niche, maybe an employment law attorney or a bankruptcy attorney for Q&A.  Mar Strategic Partnerships - most businesses grow on referrals. Yes, there is a lot of business that comes from online advertising, but if you were to survey most service businesses, they’ll tell you they get a large portion of their business from referrals. So turn that into a theme. Talk about strategies, networking opportunities, using linked for creating partnerships and paying vs. not paying for referrals.  April Content Marketing - just like I’m sharing my knowledge with you about email marketing, you can do the same with your clients. There’s so much you can talk about with content marketing from email to blogging, podcasting to creating videos. You could have a different topic each week. Bring on a different expert for each topic. If you want to do more than just creating email campaigns using a content calendar, you can expand this to a monthly theme of marketing ideas just based on one topic. For example, let’s take budgeting. That works for both individuals and businesses. In addition to making it part of your email marketing, create a few graphics for social media, Do a FB live or two with different experts on budgeting. When it’s safe to be in groups after the pandemic, offer workshops where people can come in and work on a budget as a group.  Now, you might be thinking, we are an insurance agency, not an event planning organization. That’s true, but remember, marketing is about providing valuable information, using an email campaign to promote is a way to find new prospects. I understand expanding past sending an email campaign might not be right for your agency, but it’s something to consider.  This type of content might not be valuable to everyone, but it will be to most, particularly if you have your list segmented and target the right audience. If you really feel like your agency has to focus on insurance, look up claims around hot chocolate! I’ll bet there’s something out there! What I've done here is provided you with a very simple way to create a calendar. One topic a month one email campaign a month. That’s ok if that’s what your agency decides. Maybe for the first year you send one a month, track the results then decide if you want to add more in year 2.  Can you see how creating the calendar also helps to create a theme? So your task for this episode is to create your content calendar. Start with the month after you are listening to this podcast and find a theme for 12 months. Build it out, decide who will write the content, what it will include, the deadlines for each campaign and then get it scheduled. Who will follow up to keep the project on task? The more you identify this up front, the more success you will see. If no one on your team is marketing for you, hire someone to create your email campaigns. If you need recommendations, reach out to me and I’ll connect you.  That wraps up this episode.  If you like what you’ve heard, please go to iTunes and leave a review.

Mayo Clinic living donor Mike Peshut is one of 22 kidney donors who will climb Mount Kilimanjaro with a group called Kidney Donor Athletes. The goal of the One Kidney Climb is to reach the summit on World Kidney Day, which is Thursday, March 10. Peshut donated a kidney on behalf of his wife, Annie, in February 2019. Peshut tried to be a direct donor, but he was not a match for his wife. Through paired-organ donation, he became part of a six-kidney donation chain, allowing Annie to receive a kidney. In paired donation, two or more organ-recipient pairs trade donors so that each recipient gets an organ that is compatible with his or her blood type. Peshut recently met his recipient, who credits him with giving her more time with her family, including her 13 grandchildren.More than 90,000 people in the U.S. await a lifesaving kidney transplant. An estimated 20 people die every day because a needed is not donated in time.Now Peshut is focused on sharing his story and encouraging others to become organ donors. The Mount Kilimanjaro climb is a public way to show that living organ donation doesn't limit the donor."Don't be afraid. Don't sit on the sidelines," says Mike. "If you're healthy, you can donate a kidney to help save someone else's life. It's really, really rewarding." On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Peshut join host Dr. Halena Gazelka, a Mayo Clinic anesthesiologist, to share his message about organ donation.
