- Last year I worked with a group to get the Los Angeles City Council to proclaim last year, World Kidney Day. Marie-Agnes is right. World Kidney Day is an important event. Try to volunteer in your area. As a group. we only a few of these events annually to truly make an impact on how people see other people with kidney disease and transplantation issues.

Too many people ignore the close inter-relation between kidney diseases and diabetes or hypertension. Worldwide, 246 million people suffer from diabetes and the figure is expected to reach 380 million by 2025. Diabetic nephropathy affects a third of people suffering from diabetes. Sadly, less than half people diagnosed with diabetes undergo a screening test.
Next Word Kidney Day will be held on Thursday 11 March 2010 and will focus on Diabetes, the leading cause of kidney failure.
World Kidney Day offers a crucial, visible opportunity to inform and educate health policy-makers, people who are at highest risk of CKD, and the general public that kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable.
Join our World Kidney Day 2010 group and come to exchange your experience and ideas that could be proposed to World Kidney Day organisers over the world.
The success of World Kidney Day across the world is only possible because of each of you!

This is my first posting in quite some time. The last 6 months I have been waiting for different things to happen and it has been both an exciting and frustrating time. A friend who became a client of mine at the chiropractor asked me if she could donate one of her kidneys to me; I gladly accepted. She gave 13 vile's of blood and off to the lab it went. About 5 weeks later I got a phone call telling me that my friend was a very good match and that transplant might happen as soon as early Decembe…New Here!
