Kidney Health Month

March is Kidney Health Month

As Kidney Health Month gets underway, The Kidney Foundation of Canada is calling on Canadians to take meaningful action to protect their kidney health. This call for action leads into World Kidney Day 2026, taking place on March 12, when the global community unites to promote prevention, early detection, and sustainable kidney care solutions.

Canadians are encouraged to know the risk factors for kidney disease and to take action to get tested for kidney disease if they think they are at risk. Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, being overweight or obese and having a family history of kidney disease.
