🧠 Kidney Action Week | 1–7 July 2025

Early action can save lives. Most people don’t know they could lose up to 90% of their kidney function without experiencing symptoms. That’s why Kidney Health Australia is asking everyone to take just 2 minutes to complete the online Kidney Risk Test.

As renal healthcare professionals, we know how critical early detection is. So we’re encouraging all RSA members and our wider community to share the test and start conversations that matter.

📣 Share it with your patients, friends, and networks.
