According to the website: ‘Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and harmful: 1 out of 10 adult people worldwide have it, and if left untreated it can be deadly. While early detection allows for disease care and management to help prevent morbidity and mortality, and improve cost effectiveness and sustainability, kidney disease related mortality continues to increase yearly and is projected to be the 5th leading cause of death by 2040. A persistent and ongoing CKD knowledge gap exists, one that is demonstrable at all levels of healthcare.’

What Do Kidneys Do: A Happy Short Poem
The kidneys are brave warriors,
Working 24 hours a day;
They are life-sustaining organs,
Performing many duties,
Including operation blood clean
To keep blood chemically balanced.
They remove toxic waste
Throughout the day,
Besides a number of other tasks:
Filtering the blood to remove
Waste products of body metabolism;
They indeed keep the electrolytes,
Mainly sodium and potassium, constant
As well the body’s water content;
They also secrete many essential hormones
To keep body good and balanced.

A Story of King, Water, and Kidney – A Happy Short Poem
A king once asked his minister,
Tell me how to keep sinister
At bay, gleefully pointing at both sides,
Where kidneys reside. Besides,
What else could be done
Which would be a fun
For body to hopes and jumps:
I want two happy bean-shaped lumps!
The minister bowed,
And then he vowed
To drink plenty of water,
During the summer and winter.
He said: My glorious king
I must sing, I must sing,
My research showed at best,
Nothing works so wonderfully fast
Than daily exercise,
To health let’s roll a dice!
