Poor lifestyle choices biggest cause of kidney ailments

Kenya: Yesterday was World Kidney Day, but it is more than likely that many Kenyans did not even know about the day, or its significance. Yet millions of people in the country today, including over 500,000 youth, suffer from various forms of kidney ailments.

The sad thing is that most of these ailments can be prevented if detected early, but the poor state of Kenya’s public health sector, poverty and lack of knowledge have become deadly agents in the growth of kidney diseases in the country.
