Kidney disease can affect anyone (even fit people!) and be caused by a variety of reasons – genetics, infections, overuse of drugs like Ibuprofen, autoimmune conditions...

What's the truth behind this myth? A transplant can be life-changing, offering hope. But it’s important to remember it’s not a cure. Patients need lifelong monitoring and medication. Learn more and check the symptoms here> www.worldkidneyday.co.uk/check #KidneysMatter

KIDNEY DISEASE

Kidney disease is a journey no one plans nor asks for,
its symptoms are a warning from a damaged or failing system we must never ignore,
over seven million people have it in the UK
and not everyone realises before it's too late;
Kidney disease isn't just caused by a lifestyle decision, 
Sometimes it's inherited but can be a manageable condition,
Better awareness and care can reduce the feelings of despair,
it's your early intervention, not the disease, that will determine your fate.

From Swollen ankles, feet or hands 
to Blood or froth in your wee;
Extra tiredness, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating and other less obvious symptoms to see,
You may feel or be sick and have persistently puffy eyes or face;
you may notice weight loss or loss of appetite, have itchy skin, discomfort in your lower back, side or abdomen, or need to wee more often,
If you have these symptoms please speak to your GP just in case.

Your kidneys work hard to keep you alive 
by being aware and treating them with care your whole body will thrive,
Kidney disease strikes silently and it won't go away quietly, 
It's incurable but in life there are no guarantees;
Stay hopeful but do what's necessary to heal,   pay attention to your mental health and how your body feels, 
You can do this and you have what it takes, because It takes heart to fight the impact of kidney disease.

Early detection is key! 🔑

While this type of kidney disease can't be prevented, early detection and treatment can help to slow down the disease and protect the kidneys for longer.

Sadly, many people living with kidney disease often hear this – but the reality is very different.

The average wait for a kidney transplant in the UK is 2-3 years, and even if it happens, it's not a cure.

Help us bust the myths around transplants by sharing.
