Event organizers and doctors once again urge that prevention is a must, this was also proven last year, when 20% of people who had free examinations had confirmed findings.

Of the total 1,684 people examined, 340 of them had to undergo detailed nephrology examinations. If they ignore prevention, they will remain unaware of new or advanced kidney function problems.

Preventive examinations are quick, painless and most importantly, thanks to modern technology, you will know the results immediately.

“Education in the form of World Kidney Day is urgently needed, and as shown on World Kidney Day last year, this still needs to be pursued. “People have to think and reassess their attitudes, there is nothing more valuable than health and maybe by the time they realize it, it might be too late,” said MUDr. Lada Malánová, chief physician of the dialysis center in Pilsen.

“Our population is not only increasing in chronic kidney disease patients. Over the past eight years, the number of cases of severe acute kidney failure requiring dialysis treatment has doubled. The seriousness of this disease lies not only in the high mortality rate, but also in its long-term consequences,” said Martin Matějovič, MD, PhD., head of the 1st Internal Clinic at FN Plzeň.

“Up to 13% of patients with severe forms of acute renal failure become dependent on dialysis treatment, and almost every third patient experiences permanent impairment of kidney function, which can worsen over time. On the other hand, if the disease is recognized. “In time, the main cause can be properly treated, the hope for complete recovery of kidney function is very good,” added Dr. Matějovic.

You can be seen for free at most hospitals in urology clinics or dialysis centers.
