March isn’t just about the arrival of spring—it’s also Kidney Disease Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on one of the most overlooked yet life-threatening health conditions. For many, kidney disease remains a silent threat, often going undiagnosed until it reaches an advanced stage. But this month, we’re turning up the volume. It’s time to take charge of kidney health, raise awareness, and push for change.
One of the most striking facts about kidney disease is that nearly 37 million Americans are affected, yet 90% of those with chronic kidney disease (CKD) don’t even know they have it. This is particularly concerning for Black Americans, who are three to four times more likely to develop kidney failure than their white counterparts. The reasons are complex—ranging from higher rates of diabetes and hypertension to systemic healthcare disparities—but the solution starts with awareness and proactive management.
This March, let’s commit to kidney health in real, tangible ways. Get screened, learn your family’s health history, and make small but impactful changes to your diet and lifestyle. Reducing sodium intake, staying hydrated, and monitoring blood pressure are simple yet powerful steps in protecting kidney function. And if you or a loved one are at risk, seeking guidance from trusted health professionals can make all the difference.
At Sorogi, we’re dedicated to empowering communities with the knowledge and resources needed to take control of their health. Through education, prevention programs, and advocacy, we’re working to close the health equity gap and ensure everyone has access to the care they deserve. Join us this Kidney Disease Awareness Month—because knowledge is power, and action saves lives.
