World Kidney Day 2010

World Kidney Day is a global health awareness campaign that occurs annually on the second Thursday of March. The fifth annual World Kidney Day on March 11, 2010 will focus on diabetes, the most common cause of kidney failure. Over 50% of people with diabetes experience early signs of kidney damage. Early detection and treatment of kidney disease can slow or halt progression.
