#WeCAREforKidneys Let us know why you care about kidney health in the comments

Our kidneys release hormones that help to control and regulate our blood pressure. Not too high, not too low.

It's World Health Day today and this year the WHO is all about: Building a Fairer, Healthier World. There are some major inequalities in this world, especially when it comes to health. This includes food security, clean water, income levels, governments, and access to health services. Today is meant to bring awareness to these inequalities and for the WHO to call on leaders to make the change and support the vulnerable members of their communities.

Hoppingyou are all enjoying a safe, long weekend!

Love this one! #WeCAREforKidneys Let us know why you care about kidney health in the comments

EDUCATION the E in Kidney CARE Part of the mission for Kidney CARE Network International is to be a strong advocate in education about kidney diseases and kidney health. It is based on the premise that educating the public about CKD is fundamental for building a supportive community for patients and their family. The purpose is to encourage individuals to make better health choices and inspire societies to live a kidney-friendly lifestyle.

Fun Fact: Not only is today St. Patrick's Day, it's also National Dietitians Day! We're here to remind you that healthy eating looks different on everybody. So if there's any confusion in the kitchen, your safest resource is speaking to a registered dietitian. Nutrition is science. We will always encourage you to seek professional advice when it comes to your overall health, because the internet is not a trusted resource.

Our kidneys activate the Vitamin D in our bones, which helps the body absorb calcium. Thanks Kidneys!

Dialysis is a life-saving treatment for many individuals living with kidney disease. Rest assured that during the coronavirus outbreak, #dialysis treatment continues! To protect yourself and your care team during dialysis: Arrive to appointments on time. Clinics are scheduling appointments to promote as much physical distancing as possible. By showing up early or late, physical distancing is more difficult. Sanitize your hands as soon as you arrive to the clinic an...d before you leave to prevent the spread of germs. Follow any new directions and rules. For example, there may be arrows to indicate where to walk. These measures are in place to keep you, your care team, and others at the clinic safe. Do not bring anyone with you to your appointment, unless medically necessary and the clinic has agreed to it. This is to promote physical distancing. #kidneycare #kidneyhealth #esrd #hemodialysis #kidneyeducation #healtheducation #kidneyclinic #kidneydisease See more
