CKD, one of the leading causes of death, is expected to increase rapidly due to factors such as lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and an aging population. is becoming a major health issue, with millions of people unaware they are at risk.

The Importance of Kidney Health
Kidney disease is a silent, often overlooked epidemic, affecting millions of people worldwide. In India, the prevalence of kidney-related diseases is on the rise, largely due to factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and lifestyle changes. The growing population, coupled with increasing rates of chronic conditions, has contributed to a dramatic increase in the number of kidney failure cases.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health challenge in India, where it is estimated that over 100 million people are affected. Additionally, over 200,000 people require dialysis or kidney transplants annually. With the increasing urbanization and lifestyle-related health issues, the number of cases is only expected to grow in the coming years. Kidney disease often progresses silently, and by the time symptoms appear, the condition may be severe. Early detection and treatment are critical to slowing down the progression and improving patient outcomes.
Global Burden of Kidney Disease
On a global scale, kidney disease is rapidly becoming one of the leading causes of death. According to the World Health Organization, over 850 million people suffer from kidney diseases worldwide, making it a serious global health issue. The World Kidney Day campaign aims to raise awareness and highlight the importance of kidney health as part of a global effort to prevent and treat kidney disease more effectively.
