 Hi, the World Kidney Day is celebrated every year from the last decade or more and World Kidney Day is generally celebrated on the second Thursday of March and as you all know World Kidney Day the concept was adopted by two world bodies the ISN and the International Foundation, the kidney foundation and each year we have a theme and this year the theme is that it is said that we have to live with the kidney disease we have happily for times to come and as we all know kidney disease is a serious devastating problem wherein we almost see the tune of 250,000 to 275,000 kidney failure patients annually and this disease is very common in most of the countries and it does not spare any country or strata as we can see this in developing countries developed countries and underdeveloped countries and I think by now all of you know the some of the common causes of kidney failure would be diabetes, blood pressure, infection, kidney infection could be kidney infection, stones and nephritis and the man-made problem because of indiscriminate use of medicines in the form of painkillers or alternative form of medicines. So the very important message that I would like to really bring up here is that one needs to at least make an attempt to get themselves checked once in a year the best way to remember it would be to check for these tests at least once on the day of your birthday which you will definitely not forget in your life and lastly the tips to keep your kidneys well would be to keep yourself fit and active all the time avoid consumption of high calories, salt be active by having physical activity at least for 30 to 45 days in a week and then that's it I think we should follow this particularly not one day in a week or a month but it has to be practiced almost daily it should be ingrained in a system. Thank you.
