World Kidney Day, all the initiatives in Italy

There are 5 million Italians affected, to a more or less serious extent, by chronic diseases of the kidney, a vital organ but for some reason little known. And therefore often overlooked. To focus attention on the problem, on the occasion of World Kidney Day on 9 March, the Italian Kidney Foundation (FIR) and the Italian Society of Nephrology (SIN) promoted numerous initiatives both online and in presence: in many Italian cities will be organized screenings in squares and gyms, information in pharmacies, open doors in nephrology centers and illuminated monuments.
