🌍 World Kidney Day – Thursday 12 March 2026
Kidney disease is far more common and serious than most people realise — over 7 million people in the UK are living with it, often without symptoms in the early stages. It can affect anyone, and the impact on daily life, work, relationships and wellbeing can be huge.
Kidneys keep your whole body healthy: they clean your blood, regulate blood pressure, activate vitamin D, and help prevent anaemia. When they stop working, the consequences are life‑changing — and there is no cure.
This World Kidney Day, join the campaign and help bust the myths.
👉 Share the symptoms
👉 Encourage people at risk to get tested
👉 Spread the facts
👉 Support the charities helping patients every day
Together we can raise awareness, challenge stigma and make kidney health a priority.
