World Kidney Day

Today, March 11th,  is World Kidney Day

Could you or someone you care about have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and not even know it? The chances are high that the answer is yes. Estimates say more than 31 million Americans are living with chronic kidney disease and many others are at risk and don’t even know it.


During National Kidney Month, DaVita and other kidney organizations want to raise awareness and encourage everyone to be screened for chronic kidney disease. When detected in early stages, steps can be taken to help prolong kidney function.
