I appreciate the information and I am sure everyone does too. A quick fix though. The kidney produces an hormone called erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cells formation in the bone marrow. The kidney does not produce red blood cells by itself. Thus we should only say the kidney produces hormones and not red blood cells
The adrenal glands that secrets adrenaline hormone is also located on the kidneys.

Accuracy of anatomical and physiological facts is very important in medicine

Hello, Nairalanders!

Today is World Kidney Day (March 13, 2025), and it's the perfect time to talk about one of the most hardworking yet ignored organs in our body—our kidneys!

This year’s theme, “Are Your Kidneys OK? Detect Early, Protect Kidney Health,” is a wake-up call for everyone to take kidney health seriously.

Why Should You Care About Your Kidneys?

Your kidneys might be small, but they do a lot to keep you alive and healthy. Here’s what they do every single day:

✅ Filter waste & toxins from your blood
✅ Control blood pressure by balancing fluids and releasing hormones
✅ Regulate essential minerals like sodium, potassium, and calcium
✅ Produce red blood cells to prevent anemia
✅ Keep bones strong by managing calcium and phosphate levels

But despite all this, kidney disease is a silent killer. It doesn’t show symptoms until it’s too late. That’s why early detection is key!

Who is at Risk?

Certain people who have the below are more likely to develop kidney disease. Are you one of them? Check the list below:

⚠️ Diabetes – High blood sugar damages the kidneys over time
⚠️ High Blood Pressure – Strains the kidneys, leading to failure
⚠️ Family History – If kidney disease runs in your family, you’re at risk
⚠️ Obesity – Increases your chances of diabetes and hypertension
⚠️ Smoking & Excess Alcohol – Damages kidney function over time

If you fall into any of these categories, it’s time to take action now before it’s too late!

How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy

🟢 Drink Plenty of Water – Helps flush out toxins
🟢 Eat a Balanced Diet – Avoid excess salt, sugar, and processed foods
🟢 Exercise Regularly – Keeps blood pressure and weight in check
🟢 Monitor Your Blood Pressure & Sugar Levels – Prevention is better than cure!
🟢 Avoid Smoking & Limit Alcohol – Protect your kidneys from damage
🟢 Get Screened Regularly – Simple urine and blood tests can detect early kidney disease

Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore!

🚨 Feeling tired all the time
🚨 Swollen feet, hands, or face
🚨 Changes in urination (color, frequency, or pain)
🚨 Persistent lower back pain

If you notice any of these, see a doctor ASAP!

Let’s Spread Awareness!

Your kidneys work 24/7 to keep you alive—so show them some love today! Whether it’s drinking more water, eating healthier, or going for a check-up, small actions can save lives.

💬 What are you doing to protect your kidneys? Drop your thoughts below! Let’s make kidney health a priority.
Than you for this piece!

There is a clinical trial ongoing for treatment of genetic related kidney issues in nigeria, especially carriers of APOL1 gene which can trigger kidney disease.

unfortunately, not many people are aware. If you are in lagos, you can go to lasuth or the NIMR centre yaba and ask for the nephrology centre.
Your will be tested for the gene and if your parameters are within the requirements of the study, you will be enrolled.
many people are not aware of their genetic disposition. May God keep and preserve all of us.

Once you are 40, know for sure that your health and living healthy should become a priority for you. The cost of living a healthy life is FAR CHEAPER than treating yourself to regain a lost healthy life.
