World Kidney Day 2009 - a photo on Flickriver

World Kidney Day 2009

The purpose of World Kidney Day is to raise awareness about the importance of our kidneys – an amazing organ that plays a crucial role in keeping us alive and well – and to spread the message that kidney disease is common, harmful and treatable.

The main job of our kidneys (which are roughly the size of two fists and are located deep in our abdomen, beneath our rib cage) is to remove toxins and excess water from our blood. Every day our kidneys filter and clean 200 liters of blood – a quantity that would fill about 200 bottles or 20 buckets! Besides this impressive, daily feat, kidneys also help to control our blood pressure, to produce red blood cells and to keep our bones healthy.

The theme of World Kidney Day 2009 is “Keep the Pressure Down” highlighting the importance of high blood pressure as one of the key symptoms and causes of chronic kidney disease.

I never thought I would be grateful to a complete stranger, but someone gave their life to help my sister. I thank them and their family from the bottom of my heart.

The Fist are the Kidneys working together and the blue and red are the colours of the Donor card.
