Kidney Health Month

Meet your mighty kidneys this Kidney Health Month

March is Kidney Health Month in Canada. If you haven’t yet considered the way your mighty kidneys impact your overall health, now is the time.

Kidneys are often misunderstood and their value to overall health underestimated. Kidneys are vital organs with an important role, including removing waste from the body, helping to make red blood cells, and regulating blood pressure. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the leading causes of kidney disease, and heart disease can be both a cause and a complication for those living with kidney disease.

A first step to disease management and prevention is education. Learn more about your kidneys and explore our fact sheets and infographics.
