Abstract :

Kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem. There is an increasing incidence and prevalence of patients with kidney failure requiring renal replacement therapy around the world. World needs an institution to tackle this issue, the international society of nephrology (ISN) and the international federation of kidney foundations (IFKF) joined initiative to start world kidney day in 2006 to addresses this issue globally. Treating renal failure is the real concern globally due to the impact of this disease and high cost; it is not surprising in recent time even developed countries struggling to get funding to treat renal failure. It requires urgent attention to address this issue around the world. What progress we made so far? And what change we need for our future generation? This is our time to answer the call, Renal replacement therapy and kidney transplantation alone is not the solution for this increasingly dangerous disease. What is the solution? It is time for all of us to focus on the preventable kidney diseases.
