March is National Kidney Month
March is the month when Americans and the U.S. Congress are asked to focus on kidney disease, a condition that impacts 40 million people, with an additional 700,000 suffering from kidney failure. The American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP), the oldest and largest, fully independent patient-led, kidney patient organization in the U.S. is raising its voice against a silent killer throughout March.
Follow AAKP on Twitter @kidneypatients and Facebook @kidneypatient and continue to visit our AAKP Action Center to learn ways you can get involved!
