World Kidney Day – 12 March

World Kidney Day – 12 March Kidneys are some of the most important organs in your body. They act as a special filter system for your body.

So, we celebrate World Kidney Day every year on the second Thursday of March, to raise awareness on the importance of good kidney health. This year, that day falls on 12 March.

The theme of this year's celebration is 'Kidney Health for Everyone, Everywhere - From Prevention to Detection'
 	Moreover, the 2020 campaign highlights the importance of preventive measures to stay away from kidney diseases.
 	On this day, events like public screenings, Zumba marathons are organised across the globe to raise awareness about the preventive measures and risk factors associated with kidneys.

What is the kidney?

A kidney is a bean-shaped, reddish-brown coloured organ which lies under the lower ribs in the human body.
 	It is an important organ as it controls the blood pressure, removes waste products from the blood and produces urine.
 	In order to keep kidneys healthy, one must eat healthy food, exercise regularly, drink plenty of water and go for regular checkups.
