Abstract
World Kidney Day (WKD) was conceived in 2003 to inform the general population of the fact that chronic kidney dis- ease is a global, public health threat that frequently occurs with no symptoms, and which can be treated with early detection using simple and inexpensive methods (1). The need for a WKD devoted to kidney diseases arises also from the knowledge that most people are unaware of their blood pressure and the potential presence of abnormalities in their urine. Indeed, some surveys have shown that less than 5% of the general population know where the kidneys are lo- cated and what they do
