World Kidney Day (англ. World Kidney Day) отмечается ежегодно во второй четверг марта, начиная с 2006 года. По сути, это глобальная информационно-просветительская кампания, направленная на повышение осведомленности о важности наших почек.
The establishment, organization and annual observance of this Day were the result of joint efforts of the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations. These non-profit organizations identified the main goal of Kidney Day as attracting the attention of international and government health organizations, as well as political structures capable of assisting in the development of the health care system, to the problem of the growing number of people with kidney diseases.
Among the objectives of the Day are the exchange of experience of specialists in this field of medicine, the development of a system for the prevention of kidney diseases, modernization and improvement of the quality of treatment of patients, the development of new drugs and medical equipment for providing care to patients and treating nephrological diseases.
According to WHO and International Nephrological Organizations and Societies, the number of patients with diseases of the renal system today is about 10% of the world's population, and this figure, unfortunately, is growing. In most cases, we are talking about severe chronic diseases, which often end in death, or diseases that become chronic.
Many people have heard about the diagnosis of “acute renal failure” and “chronic renal failure”, but few people know that they often become a cause that increases the risk factor for death in other diseases. For example, for diseases cardiovascular system , сахарном diabetes , AIDS и др. Связано это в первую очередь с основной функцией почек – фильтрацией и выводом из организма шлаков, вредных веществ и излишков солей. Нарушение этой функции ведёт к быстрой интоксикации организма, сбою в работе всех систем и, в конце концов, к летальному исходу. Приём медикаментозных препаратов при лечении любого заболевания в условиях почечной недостаточности – риск отравления организма.
Therefore, the annual celebration of World Kidney Day is aimed at updating the topic of kidney diseases and attracting the attention of nephrologists and medical nephrology organizations to this problem. Every year a new theme is chosen and becomes the main theme of the Day. The events include seminars, lectures, scientific and practical conferences, symposia on the exchange of experience, collection of information on nephrological diseases, new products in the field of drugs, medical equipment for examination, diagnosis and treatment of patients.
