π World Kidney Day (12 March 2026)
π« 1 in 10 people globally suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD)
π« The ''Silent'' Disease: Up to 90% of kidney function can be lost before any noticeable symptoms appear
π« Kidneys filter around 180-200 litres of blood daily (Roughly the volume of a large bathtub) Cleaning your entire blood supply every 30 minutes. Regulating blood pressure, red blood cells and waste
π« You only need one kidney to live a full life; if one is removed, the other can grow larger to handle up to 100% of the workload
