As part of activities marking World Obesity Day and World Kidney Day 2026, students from the Laborie Boys and Laborie Girls Primary Schools joined forces for an interactive health walk through the streets of Laborie. Armed with placards and chants, the young health ambassadors brought messages on healthy eating and lifestyle directly to residents and businesses in the village. The walk was held under the theme "Twòp Sik Pa Bon" , a rallying call for the reduction of sugar-sweetened beverages and unhealthy dietary habits. As the students moved through the village, they chanted health messages and engaged with community members and business owners along the route.

Seus rins estão ok? No dia 12 de março o Brasil e o mundo promovem ações pelo Dia Mundial do Rim, uma data dedicada à conscientização sobre a importância da saúde renal e à prevenção das doenças renais. A mobilização é coordenada internacionalmente pela World Kidney Day e, no Brasil, é organizada pela Sociedade Brasileira de Nefrologia (SBN), na segunda quinta-feira do mês.A campanha enfatiza a saúde renal para todos, incentivando exames como o de creatinina para detecção precoce. O tema da campanha em 2026 é “Saúde renal para todos – Cuidando das pessoas, protegendo o planeta”. A mobilização chama atenção para a relação entre prevenção, qualidade de vida e uso responsável de recursos em saúde, reforçando que o cuidado com os rins começa antes da doença avançar.Isso porque os médicos alertam que a doença renal é, em muitos casos, silenciosas e os sintomas clínicos só se manifestam quando a perda funcional já é grave e, por vezes, irreversível, podendo levar à necessidade de uma hemólise. Em entrevista à CBN Vitória, o nefrologista Michel Assbu e a médica especialista em clínica médica, nefrologia e transplante renal, Maria Elisa Assbu, professora da Emescam e atual diretora científica da Sociedade de Nefrologia do Espírito Santo, falam sobre o assunto.

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Nutrition joins the global community in commemorating the 20th anniversary of World Kidney Day under the theme, “Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet.” This year the theme for World Kidney Day “Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet” urges every St. Lucian to be in the know when it comes to protecting vital organs such as the kidneys. It also reminds us of the need to engage in environmentally friendly practices which will protect our planet while preserving the health of generations to come. The observance of this day also calls for action to raise awareness of the burden of kidney disease and the importance of our kidneys to overall health.

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.

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.

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.

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.
