Myself and Helly from Kidney Research UK met up with the deputy Mayor of Ammanford Calum Higgins at Catch Up Coffee shop for a chat about kidney health in the community. It was a lovely meeting, in a lovely setting. Thank you so much for chatting to us, and a huge thank you to Callum and Jasmine from the coffee shop for providing us a nice place to set up and talk to other members of the community about kidney disease.

Hi everyone. Today, is my birthday. Instead of birthday greetings I would love it if you would share this post to help raise awareness of chronic kidney disease. Thank you so much to every warrior out there who is battling kidney disease.

Chronic kidney disease affects as many as 10% of the world's population, and there is no known cure. Dialysis and a transplant are treatment options, although both can keep patients alive for a very long time. I've known of patients to thrive whilst on dialysis and for a very long time, too. A good friend of mine has been receiving dialysis for close to 30 years.

But we still need a cure, because not every patient is able to survive for long. We need more research, we need more help. We need your help.

Please share this post. Thank you so much for reading 💜💜💜

PKD Awareness Week reminds us that not all kidney diseases are the same — PKD and CKD are different, yet both can lead to kidney failure.

All kidney disease is serious, placing a heavy burden on patients, families, and the NHS. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) has its own distinct challenges, and better understanding can lead to earlier diagnosis, improved care, and stronger research.
