Today is World Kidney Day It's important to take care of your kidneys and to be aware of the symptoms of kidney disease. Please share this so others can be aware also. #WorldKidneyDay #KidneysMatter #DontKidYourself

KIDNEY DISEASE

Kidney disease is a journey no one plans nor asks for,
its symptoms are a warning from a damaged or failing system we must never ignore,
over seven million people have it in the UK
and not everyone realises before it's too late;
Kidney disease isn't just caused by a lifestyle decision,
Sometimes it's inherited but can be a manageable condition,
Better awareness and care can reduce the feelings of despair,
it's your early intervention, not the disease, that will determine your fate.

From Swollen ankles, feet or hands
to Blood or froth in your wee;
Extra tiredness, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating and other less obvious symptoms to see,
You may feel or be sick and have persistently puffy eyes or face;
you may notice weight loss or loss of appetite, have itchy skin, discomfort in your lower back, side or abdomen, or need to wee more often,
If you have these symptoms please speak to your GP just in case.

Your kidneys work hard to keep you alive
by being aware and treating them with care your whole body will thrive,
Kidney disease strikes silently and it won't go away quietly,
It's incurable but in life there are no guarantees;
Stay hopeful but do what's necessary to heal, pay attention to your mental health and how your body feels,
You can do this and you have what it takes, because It takes heart to fight the impact of kidney disease.

Gave blood today 🩸 Less than an hour, a cup of tea, a biscuit … and it could save a life. Winter is tough for donations, but hospitals need approximately 5,000 units daily. If you can, now’s the time to book. One small act. Huge impact. ❤️ www.blood.co.uk

After an emergency, make sure food is safe. If food smells bad or looks different (for example, slimy or mouldy), it is not safe for human consumption.

Infographic from the World Health Organization titled “After an emergency, make sure food is safe.” It provides four safety tips:

- Mouldy food should not be consumed as it may contain toxic substances.

- Check all food for physical hazards such as glass or stones.

- Undamaged canned goods and commercial glass jars are likely safe; do not use damaged can.

- Do not refreeze food that has defrosted.

Today is #SickleCell Awareness Day 🩸 40% more people are living with sickle cell disease today than in 2000. It is a growing health challenge, affecting around 7.7 million people in the world today. Read WHO’s new recommendations on care during pregnancy: bit.ly/446z3AV

Title reads 'Sickle cell disease is a group of genetic blood disorders.' Text reads 'Healthy red blood cells are round and flexible. Sickle cells are shaped like crescents. These can block blood flow, causing pain and illness.' Illustration of a microscope and blood cells.
