2023 Kidney Health Month & World Kidney Day<\/strong><\/h4>\n

March is Kidney Health Month<\/strong> as well as March 9 who is the World Kidney Day,<\/strong>\u00a0and CDTRP is proud to count numerous kidney health specialists and patient partners living with kidney disease, having received or given a kidney, throughout its five research themes.<\/p>\n

Kidney transplantation is a life-saving treatment for those suffering from end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), and can dramatically improve the quality of life for those suffering from this condition. While the procedure is complex and requires a great deal of care, it can offer a number of health benefits and allow the patient to return to a normal life. Thanks to organizations like the Kidney Foundation of Canada, Can-SOLVE CKD Network\u00a0 and World Kidney Day, to name a few, who raise awareness on renal disease and bring us towards the #KidneyHealthForAll.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
