Kidney health doesn't need a separate system.

Countries can strengthen kidney health by embedding it within:
✓ Primary care
✓ NCD strategies
✓ Universal health coverage
Rather than creating separate programs.

Implementation becomes easier, more sustainable, and more equitable when kidney health is integrated into existing health systems.

A kidney transplant can be life-changing for people living with end-stage kidney disease. By replacing a failed kidney with a healthy donor kidney, transplantation can offer a better quality of life and improved long-term outcomes compared to dialysis.

Most people with kidney disease do not experience symptoms until the condition has reached an advanced stage.

If you have one or more risk factors for kidney disease, speak with your doctor about whether kidney health screening is right for you.

From global commitments to national action.

The @WHO kidney health resolution created an unprecedented opportunity for action.

The question is no longer why kidney health matters. It's how countries can act.

A new @TheLancet Health Policy paper outlines a practical pathway for implementation—offering governments and stakeholders a framework to strengthen kidney health within primary care, NCD strategies, and universal health coverage.

To support advocacy and policy dialogue, ISN has translated the framework into a concise one-page resource that can be used in meetings with policymakers and health system leaders.

➡️ Share these resources with your Ministry of Health, NCD program leaders, and healthcare partners—and help turn commitments into measurable progress: https://t.co/BUydQtV2hv

Living kidney donors are carefully evaluated to ensure donation is safe.
Requirements may vary by country and transplant center, but the donor's health and wellbeing are always the top priority.

A kidney transplant can be a life-changing step forward. People with kidney failure who receive a transplant generally live longer than those who remain on dialysis, on average. With the right care, you give your new kidney the best chance of a longer and healthier life.

Kidney disease often develops silently, with no noticeable symptoms in its early stages.
Kidney disease can affect many parts of the body, increasing the risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, anemia, and kidney failure.

Early detection and regular check-ups can help protect your kidney health and reduce the risk of complications.

Heat and dehydration can affect kidney transplant recipients more quickly, making hydration and heat protection essential during warmer days. Remember to drink fluids regularly, seek shade, and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures to help support kidney health.
