World Kidney Day
13 March
Kidney disease is projected to become the 5th leading cause of death worldwide by 2050, rising from the 18th leading cause in 1990. Sadly, 1.8 million Australians are completely unaware they are living with kidney disease. As they progress toward kidney failure, many of these people will either require a transplant or kidney dialysis to stay alive.
While kidney disease continues to soar, dialysis treatment has barely changed in 50 years – and it takes away people’s quality of life, their freedom and their time. This World Kidney Day, we continue to call for greater investment in kidney disease and a change to the status quo.
It’s time to join the kidney revolution!
