World Kidney Day - 2nd Thursday in March

World Kidney Day (WKD) is a global health awareness campaign focusing on the importance of the kidneys and reducing the frequency and impact of kidney disease and its associated health problems worldwide.

The bean shaped organs are quite vital for smooth functioning of the body.

Many of you would know, that it is because of the kidneys, that our body is able to discharge waste and toxins in form of urine.

But in addition to it kidneys also help filter blood before sending it back to the heart.

Kidney's are body's natural filters that also help maintaining overall fluid balance, regulating and filtering minerals from blood and creating hormones that help produce red blood cells, promote bone health, and regulate blood pressure

World Kidney Day is observed annually on the 2nd Thursday in March
