March is National Kidney Month March 1, 2022 by Lauren Eva Raise Awareness During National Kidney Month March is all about the kidneys! To spread awareness about kidney disease and honor those who are affected by it, we welcome you to download our NephCure National Kidney Month graphics and share across your social media channels. Download our social media graphics here. #SockItToKidneyDisease on March 10th Additionally, we invite you to wear your craziest pair of socks on World Kidney Day, March 10th, to join us in the #SockItToKidneyDisease campaign. One of the first signs of kidney disease many notice is swelling — especially in the legs and feet. Sometimes the swelling is so severe that it’s hard for people to fit socks around their ankles. Post a photo online in your socks, tag @NephCure, and use the hashtag #SockItToKidneyDisease.
Normel Octave says March 4, 2022 at 11:05 am I just got my labs which indicate that my kidneys are not working at 100%. Luckily the numbers are not too bad. When I went to college I chose Renal Diet for a Project topic. I had to follow a patient for six weeks including one day each week when he went for Dialysis. I have a “thing” about blood and was totally grossed out when I had to be in the middle of a room with eight patients being cleaned. The memory of this plus what I learned will make me eager to follow a RENAL DIET.
