Fresenius Medical Care’s Post

⚠️Did you know that more than 1 in 10 people worldwide are affected by some stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) worldwide?  It is estimated CKD may affect more than 850 million people worldwide – two and a half times the size of the United States population.   Known as a "silent killer", #ChronicKidneyDisease (CKD) is a progressive loss of the kidney’s ability to filter blood, affecting how the body eliminates toxins. Up to 90% of kidney function can be lost without a person showing any symptoms. Early diagnosis can make a difference. If detected in its early stages, the deterioration of kidney function can be slowed or delayed, potentially reducing the associated cardiovascular risks. Check out the images in this post to learn 3 key factors that impact #KidneyHealth.   Kidney health starts with awareness. As a leader in renal health, we at Fresenius Medical Care reinforce our commitment and social responsibility to increase #Awareness and education to reduce barriers to better kidney care and overall health. 💙 Share this post with your community and help us spread such important information.   #KidneyHealthForAll #LoweringBarriers #EducationToProtect #WorldKidneyDay #WKD2024
