🌡️ As climate change accelerates, extreme heat is no longer a seasonal nuisance; it’s a silent health crisis. One of its most devastating and overlooked consequences? Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu).

A new study from Odisha, India, published in Kidney International Reports, provides compelling evidence that prolonged heat exposure among outdoor workers, particularly farmers, is directly harming their kidneys.

📍 In Bargarh district, where daily highs exceed 45°C, researchers screened 1136 individuals.
🔎 Results:
478 diagnosed with
157 cases linked to heat-stress nephropathy
Over 63% of heat-stress cases were farmers

This isn’t just a regional problem. It’s part of a global trend, observed in hotspots from Central America to South Asia.

🔗 Read the study:

Repeated heat exposure, physical exertion, and inadequate hydration can cause acute kidney injury, potentially progressing to chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, cohort-level research on heat stress as a contributing factor remains limited. This study investigates occupational heat exposure among...

🌍 Celebrating 40 Years of the ISN Fellowship Program! 🎉

Since 1985, the ISN Fellowship Program has connected kidney care professionals worldwide and shaped the future of nephrology.

"I was the first ISN renal fellow from Turkey and had the opportunity to work in the clinic of an exceptional scientist, Dr. R.W. Schrier, in Denver in August 1989. I was excited but anxious about adapting to a new country, professional environment, and system. Thanks to the close attention and support of my mentors, I settled into a productive and pleasant work environment.
After returning to Turkey in 1991, I contributed to the establishment and growth of the nephrology and hypertension department at Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine and established transplantation nephrology." Gültekin Süleymanlar, ISN Fellow (1989-1991).

🌍 Kidney health is finally getting the global attention it deserves!

Earlier this year, the World Health Assembly adopted the first-ever WHO resolution on kidney disease, a historic step forward. Now, the ISN and 21 partner organizations are calling on all United Nations Member States to include kidney disease in the upcoming political declaration at the 4th UN High-Level Meeting (HLM4) on NCDs and mental health this September during .

📌 What’s the difference between a WHO resolution and a UN declaration?

✅ A WHO resolution sets technical health priorities and guides policy at the country level.
✅ A UN political declaration reflects broader political commitment and drives cross-sector action across development, finance, and equity.
Together, they are powerful tools to elevate kidney health on the global agenda.

💪 We’re proud to be part of this major advocacy effort to ensure kidney health is no longer overlooked.
