How to protect your kidneys and detect damage early
You don’t have to wait for visible symptoms.
Recommend regular kidney screening for people who are at high risk:
Blood creatinine/eGFR test
Urine albumin/protein test

You should get tested if you:

Have diabetes or high blood pressure
Have heart disease
Have a family history of kidney problems
Are over 60 years old
Early detection can slow or even stop kidney damage through better BP and sugar control, medication adjustments and lifestyle improvements.

Don’t wait for swollen feet, breathlessness or foamy urine to take kidney damage seriously.
Ask your doctor for routine kidney tests, let your labs speak before your symptoms do.
Early action can save your kidneys and your life.

INDIA CARRIES THE HIGHEST BURDEN
Between January 2022 and October 2024, the team enrolled 1,244 patients — 798 men and 446 women. Overall, 37.1% of all participants carried an MDRO. But the numbers looked starkly different when broken down by country.

MDRO carriage rates by country:

India: 83.1% (290 of 349 patients) — highest in the study

Italy: 31.5%

United States: 20.1%

Netherlands: 10.8% — lowest

This means more than 8 in 10 Indian patients already carried resistant organisms
Urgent measures are needed to address rising antibiotic resistance, and strict rationalisation of antibiotic use is imperative.

Kidney Health for All

Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is estimated to affect more than 850 million people worldwide and resulted in over 3.1 million deaths in 2019.

Presently, kidney disease ranks as the 8th leading cause of death and if left unaddressed, it is projected to be the 5th leading cause of years of life lost by 2040.

Over the last three decades, CKD treatment efforts have centered on preparing for and delivering kidney replacement therapies. However, recent therapeutic breakthroughs offer unprecedented opportunities to prevent or delay disease and mitigate complications such as cardiovascular disease and kidney failure, ultimately prolonging the quality and quantity of life for people living with CKD.
