World Kidney Day is an annual campaign to help raise awareness of kidneys and show the suffering caused when they don’t work properly. It also aims to educate people on what kidneys do and how to improve your kidney health.

It’s the topic that’s too BIG to ignore. On Thursday 14 March 2024, join us in highlighting just how big an issue kidney disease is. It’s not a disease that affects only a handful of people: it’s the 8th biggest killer worldwide. PKD need us to shout it from the rooftops and help raise awareness and funds for on this incredibly important day!

This year, alongside sharing crucial kidney facts and statistics, we're celebrating the unsung heroes who've been with us through thick and thin and crowning them as your Kidney Hero! Who's Your Kidney Hero? Whether they’re a friend, family member, healthcare professional, a life-saving donor, or even a beloved pet, we'd love to hear your stories of those who've made a real difference in your kidney journey. Nominate your kidney hero and they will be entered to win our World Kidney Day award.
