For the World Kidney Day Steering Committee Kidney disease is a global public health problem that affects more than 750 million persons worldwide. The burden of kidney disease varies substantially across the world, as does its detection and treatment. Although the magnitude and impact of kidney disease is better defined in developed countries, emerging evidence suggests that developing countries have a similar or even greater kidney disease burden. In many settings, rates of kidney disease and the provision of its care are defined by socioeconomic, cultural, and political factors, leading to significant disparities in disease burden, even in developed countries. These disparities exist across the spectrum of kidney disease - from preventive efforts to curb development of acute kidney injury or chronic kidney disease, to screening for kidney disease among persons at high risk, to access to subspecialty care and treatment of kidney failure with renal replacement therapy. World Kidney Day 2019 offers an opportunity to raise awareness of kidney disease and highlight disparities in its burden and current state of global capacity for prevention and management. In this editorial, we highlight these disparities and emphasize the role of public policies and organizational structures in addressing them. We outline opportunities to improve our understanding of disparities in kidney disease, the best ways for them to be addressed, and how to streamline efforts toward achieving kidney health equity across the globe.Для Организационного комитета Всемирного дня почки Заболевания почек - глобальная проблема общественного здравоохранения, затрагивающая более 750 млн человек во всем мире Распространенность заболеваний почек, а также их диагностика и лечение в разных странах существенно различаются. Значение и последствия заболеваний почек наиболее хорошо изучены в развитых странах, но в последнее время появляется все больше данных, свидетельствующих об аналогичной и даже более высокой распространенности заболеваний почек и в развивающихся странах. Во многих ситуациях частота заболеваний почек и обеспечение медицинской помощью определяются социально - экономическими, культурными и политическими факторами, что даже в развитых странах приводит к существенным различиям наносимого болезнью ущерба. Эти различия наблюдаются на разных этапах оказания помощи при заболеваниях болезнях почек: от профилактических мероприятий, направленных на предотвращение развития острого повреждения почек и хронической болезни почек, до скрининга на наличие болезни почек у лиц с высоким риском заболевания и доступа к специализированной медицинской помощи и проведению заместительной почечной терапии для лечения почечной недостаточности. Всемирный день почки - 2019 дает возможность повысить осведомленность о заболеваниях почек, а также осветить несоответствия между причиняемым ими ущербом и потенциальными возможностями их профилактики и лечения. В публикуемой передовой статье мы хотим заострить внимание на этих несоответствиях и подчеркиваем роль общественной политики и организационных структур в их устранении. Мы намечаем пути улучшения понимания этих различий, определяем основные подходы к достижению этого понимания, а также возможности оптимизации усилий для обеспечения равенства в вопросах поддержания здоровья почек во всем мире.

Living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with hardships for patients and their care-partners. Empowering patients and their care-partners, including family members or friends involved in their care, may help minimize burden and consequences of CKD-related symptoms to enable life participation. There is a need to broaden the focus on living well with kidney disease and re-engagement in life, including emphasis on patients being in control. The World Kidney Day (WKD) Joint Steering Committee has declared 2021 the year of "Living Well with Kidney Disease" in an effort to increase education and awareness on the important goal of patient empowerment and life participation. This calls for the development and implementation of validated patient-reported outcome measures to assess and address areas of life participation in routine care. It could be supported by regulatory agencies as a metric for quality care or to support labeling claims for medicines and devices. Funding agencies could establish targeted calls for research that address the priorities of patients. Patients with kidney disease and their care-partners should feel supported to live well through concerted efforts by kidney care communities including during pandemics. In the overall wellness program for kidney disease patients, the need for prevention should be reiterated. Early detection with prolonged course of wellness despite kidney disease, after effective secondary and tertiary prevention programs, should be promoted. WKD 2021 continues to call for increased awareness of the importance of preventive measures throughout populations, professionals, and policy makers, applicable to both developed and developing countries.Vivre avec l’insuffisance rénale chronique (IRC) représente un fardeau pour les patients et leurs partenaires soignants, dont leurs familles et amis. Une façon d’alléger ce fardeau et de réduire les conséquences des symptômes de l’IRC sur la participation à la vie serait de favoriser une plus grande autonomie des patients et de leurs partenaires soignants. Pour ce faire, l’accent mis sur le bien vivre avec la maladie et sur la participation à la vie doit être élargi en privilégiant notamment de mettre les patients en contrôle. Pour accroître l’éducation et la sensibilisation sur la responsabilisation des patients et, ultimement, encourager leur participation à la vie, le Comité directeur bipartite de la Journée Mondiale du Rein (JMR) a déclaré 2021 l’année du « bien vivre avec une maladie rénale ». Une stratégie qui nécessite l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de mesures validées des résultats signalés par le patient afin d’aborder la participation à la vie dans les soins courants. Cette stratégie pourrait être appuyée par les organismes de réglementation comme mesure de qualité des soins ou pour appuyer les demandes relatives à l’étiquetage des médicaments et des dispositifs. Les organismes subventionnaires pourraient quant à eux établir des appels d’offres à objectifs de recherche définis afin de répondre aux priorités des patients. Les patients et leurs partenaires soignants devraient se sentir soutenus, même en contexte de pandémie, par des efforts concertés des communautés de soins en santé rénale. Dans le cadre du program de bien-être global destiné aux patients atteints d’une néphropathie, il convient de réitérer la prévention. À la suite de programs efficaces de prévention secondaire et tertiaire, il convient également de promouvoir une détection précoce avec une évolution prolongée du bien-être malgré une maladie rénale. La JMR 2021 continue d’appeler à une plus grande sensibilisation des populations, des professionnels et des décideurs quant à l’importance de mesures préventives applicables tant dans les pays développés que dans les pays en développement.

The 2019 International Society of Nephrology World Kidney Day theme is Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere. It focuses on the uneven burden of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in different communities, identifies disparities and challenges in access to care and calls for universal health coverage for prevention and early treatment of kidney disease. This topic is fully in line with the Clinical Kidney Journal (ckj) editorial strategy for improving worldwide kidney care without leaving any community behind. Indeed, the first PubMed-recorded use of the term CKD hotspot was in ckj, where it was defined as ‘countries, region[s], communities or ethnicities with higher than average incidence of CKD’. This issue of ckj contains the World Kidney Day editorial as well as contributions that illustrate two concepts: the need to validate biochemical thresholds generated in developed countries in other populations, as exemplified by Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes CKD–mineral and bone disorder parameters in an African population, and the fact that some disease associations characteristic of developing countries may be described initially in developed countries, as exemplified by the association of APOL1 variants with CKD or by minimal change disease secondary to malaria, but have to be validated locally.

Context: World kidney day is a yearly global alertness and education ceremony, held on the second Thursday in March. Evidence Acquisition: Directory of open access journals (DOAJ), EMBASE, Google Scholar, PubMed, EBSCO, and Web of Science have been searched. Results: Once again we reached to March 14, the world kidney day of 2016. This is the 10th anniversary of world kidney day, a program of the International Society of Nephrology (ISN) and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations (IFKF). World kidney day first began in 2006 and the worldwide campaign highlights a specific theme each year. The theme for 2015 was to invite everybody to drink a glass of water and give one, too, to celebrate their kidneys. This is a symbolic action to memorize that kidneys are vital organs and that they might be cared. Conclusions: It is a manner to make individuals more conscious about their lifestyle choices. In this year, world kidney day will be celebrated on Thursday March 10, 2016. The theme for 2016 will highlight on renal disease and children

Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic, and its prevalence has been projected to grow by 40% in the next decade. This increasing prevalence has implications for the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and also for Chronic Kidney Disease. A high body mass index is one of the strongest risk factors for new-onset Chronic Kidney Disease. In individuals affected by obesity, a compensatory hyperfiltration occurs to meet the heightened metabolic demands of the increased body weight. The increase in intraglomerular pressure can damage the kidneys and raise the risk of developing Chronic Kidney Disease in the long-term. The incidence of obesity-related glomerulopathy has increased ten-fold in recent years. Obesity has also been shown to be a risk factor for nephrolithiasis, and for a number of malignancies including kidney cancer. This year the World Kidney Day promotes education on the harmful consequences of obesity and its association with kidney disease, advocating healthy lifestyle and health policy measures that makes preventive behaviors an affordable option. Resumen La obesidad se ha convertido en una epidemia mundial, y se ha proyectado que su prevalencia se incrementará en un 40% en la próxima década. Esta creciente prevalencia supone implicaciones tanto para el riesgo de desarrollo de diabetes y enfermedades cardiovasculares como para el desarrollo de Enfermedad Renal Crónica. Un elevado índice de masa corporal es uno de los factores de riesgo más importantes para el desarrollo de Enfermedad Renal Crónica. En individuos afectados por la obesidad, tiene lugar una hiperfiltración compensatoria necesaria para alcanzar la alta demanda metabólica secundaria al aumento del peso corporal. El incremento de la presión intraglomerular puede generar daño renal y elevar el riesgo de desarrollar Enfermedad Renal Crónica a largo plazo. La incidencia de glomerulopatía asociada a obesidad se ha incrementado 10 veces en los últimos años. Así mismo se ha demostrado que la obesidad es un factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de nefrolitiasis y un número de neoplasias, incluyendo cáncer renal. Este año, el Día Mundial del Riñón promueve la educación a cerca de las consecuencias nocivas de la obesidad y su asociación con la enfermedad renal, abogando por un estilo de vida saludable y la implementación de políticas públicas de salud que promuevan medidas preventivas alcanzables.

Nowadays, diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension are considered as the most common causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In this paper, other than presenting the role of DM in ESRD, glucose metabolism and the management of hyperglycemia in these patients are reviewed. Although in several large studies there was no significant relationship found between tight glycemic control and the survival of ESRD patients, it is recommended that glycemic control be considered as the main therapeutic goal in the treatment of these patients to prevent damage to other organs. Glycemic control is perfect when fasting blood sugar is less than 140 mg/dL, 1-h postprandial blood glucose is less than 200 mg/dL, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is 6-7 in patients with type 1 diabetes and 7-8 in patients with type 2 diabetes. Administration of metformin should be avoided in chronic renal failure (CRF) because of lactic acidosis, the potentially fatal complication of metformin, but glipizide and repaglinide seem to be good choices.

World Kidney Day on 8 March 2012 provides a chance to reflect on the success of kidney transplantation as a therapy for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) that surpasses dialysis treatments for the quality and quantity of life and for cost effectiveness. An experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option 50 years ago is now routine clinical practice in more than 80 countries. What was limited to a few people in a small number of academic centers is now routinely transforming lives in most high- and medium-income countries. The largest numbers of transplantations are performed in the United States, China, Brazil, and India, while the greatest population access to transplantation is in Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Austria, the United States, and Norway, but almost all countries have growing waiting lists, and transplantation meets only 10% of the global need. Barriers to broader application include, of course, economic limitations that appropriately place transplantation at a lower priority than clean water, sanitation, and vaccination. Even in high-income countries, the technical challenges of surgery and the consequences of immunosuppression restrict the number of suitable recipients, but the major restrictions on kidney transplantation rates are the shortage of donated organs and the small size of trained medical, surgical, and nursing workforces with the required expertise.

March 10, 2011 will mark the celebration of the 6th World Kidney Day (WKD), an annual event jointly sponsored by the International Society of Nephrology and the International Federation of Kidney Foundations. Since its inception in 2006, WKD has grown dramatically to become the most widely celebrated event associated with kidney disease in the world and the most successful effort to raise awareness among both the general public and government health officials about the dangers of kidney disease, especially chronic kidney disease (CKD). In 2011, WKD will call attention to the large, and often unappreciated, role played by kidney dysfunction in increasing premature cardiovascular disease, the most common cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide (1). Can a focus on early detection and prevention of kidney disease really improve long term cardiovascular health? In this editorial, we hope to convey the message that increased attention to the kidneys can indeed improve long-term health outcomes by reducing both kidney and cardiovascular disease and should therefore be a central component of any global health strategy intended to reduce the enormous and growing burden of chronic NCDs.
