#WorldKidneyDay focuses on the importance of kidneys and reducing the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.
It's also a time for us to highlight the need for kidney transplants, as well as UAB's role.
It's also a time for us to highlight the need for kidney transplants, as well as UAB's role.
As you can see from this infographic, a significant number of patients are currently on a waiting list. The need is vast. But there is hope. 
UAB has a 50-year history as one of America's top transplant centers with patients arriving from around the globe for treatment.
A very good morning to you all from Naarm!
And happy #WorldKidneyDay @NIKTTaskforce @Keliyari13 @AKction2 @RJLester86 @big_budgie_ @jaqui_hughes @shyamrith @shilpa_jes

@Gawad_Nephro 1. Djenkolic acid is a common kidney toxin found in buah #djenkol also known as #jering and in smaller quantities in buah #kerdas or #genuak #kidneymyths #WorldKidneyDay
@Gawad_Nephro Consumption of sufficient quantities of either #djenkol or #kerdas can cause loin pain, a milky white urine, blood in your urine and your kidneys to fail. This is thought to happen via formation of tiny crystals within your kidney and Urine. #kidneymyths #WorldKidneyDay
@Gawad_Nephro 2. Another fruit to avoid if you are have advanced chronic kidney disease or are on dialysis is starfruit (belimbing) . In south east asia there are two forms of the fruit #WorldKidneyDay #kidneymyths

It’s #PiDay… but it’s also #worldkidneyday! Critically important issue to me personally and so many Americans. 1/8
Many people with #chronickidneydisease don’t know it and it is major and rising cause of morbidity and mortality in the US and globally – we must do better! #heartyourkidneys #worldkidneyday 2/8
Today is also great opportunity to pay tribute to all of those courageous and generous people who have donated kidneys. Living donors should be better supported and we are working to make this happen. #worldkidneyday 3/8
Today is #WorldKidneyDay, so here is a thread about living on #dialysis & #OrganDonation. My name is Belinda Otas. I’m #African. I’m #Nigerian. I'm #Benin. I’m #British & I’m #Black. Beyond the nationalities or passports with my name, I also believe in our shared humanity.
I was 16, when I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal Failure (ESRF.) I had no idea what was happening to me because at the time, it made no sense. However, I remember the pain of that period like noonday. I lived on dialysis until i was 22. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
It took over my teenage years. I don’t remember having much of a life as a teenager because dialysis was 3x a week & every session was 4hrs. Add the time it takes to recover from being exhausted by the process, my day was pretty much over. #dialysis #OrganDonation #renalhealth
