March is Kidney Health Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about kidney disease, prevention, and the importance of maintaining kidney health. With millions of people affected by kidney disease—often without realizing it—this month highlights the significance of early detection, lifestyle choices, and regular check-ups. Proper hydration, a balanced diet, blood pressure control, and managing conditions like diabetes can help protect kidney function. Organizations and healthcare providers use this time to educate the public, promote screenings, and encourage individuals to take proactive steps toward kidney health. By spreading awareness, we can help reduce the prevalence of kidney disease and support those affected by it.
