Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet
The current kidney care model - focused on late-stage disease and in-center hemodialysis - is unsustainable, because of costs, environmental burden, poor outcomes, and reduced quality of life. The 78th World Health Assembly’s recognition of kidney disease as a serious health threat presents a critical opportunity to reshape kidney care. Aligned with this, the 2026 World Kidney Day theme, “Kidney Health for All: Caring for People, Protecting the Planet”, calls for a systematic change. A sustainable model must prioritize early detection and prevention, reducing the need for kidney replacement therapy. Transplantation and home dialysis benefit people with kidney failure, environment and society. Dialysis itself must become more eco-friendly without compromising care quality, recognizing that planetary perturbations in turn affect kidney health. Conservative care should also be considered, particularly for elderly and frail patients, if the quality-of-life benefits outweigh the perspectives offered by dialysis. Achieving this shift requires coordinated action across all stakeholders; education and engagement of the public, policy makers and health professionals to raise awareness about the threat of kidney disease; and an urgent move toward patient-centered care.

Are your kidneys okay? Detect early to protect kidney health
Early identification of kidney disease can protect kidney health, prevent kidney disease progression and related complications, reduce cardiovascular disease risk, and decrease mortality. We must ask “Are your kidneys ok?” using serum creatinine to estimate kidney function and urine albumin to assess for kidney and endothelial damage. Evaluation for causes and risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD) includes testing for diabetes mellitus and measurement of blood pressure and body mass index. This World Kidney Day, we assert that case-finding in high-risk populations, or even population-level screening, can decrease the burden of kidney disease globally. Early-stage CKD is asymptomatic, simple to test for, and recent paradigm-shifting CKD treatments such as sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors dramatically improve outcomes and favor the cost-benefit analysis for screening or case-finding programs. Despite this, numerous barriers exist, including resource allocation, healthcare funding, healthcare infrastructure, and healthcare-professional and population awareness of kidney disease. Coordinated efforts by major kidney non-governmental organizations to prioritize the kidney health agenda for governments and to align early detection efforts with other current programs will maximize efficiencies.

Saúde renal para todos: cuidar de pessoas e proteger o planeta
RESUMO O atual modelo de cuidados renais — centrado na doença em estágio avançado e na hemodiálise em centro especializado — é insustentável devido aos custos, ao impacto ambiental, aos desfechos desfavoráveis e à redução da qualidade de vida. O reconhecimento da doença renal como uma grave ameaça à saúde pela 78ª Assembleia Mundial da Saúde oferece uma oportunidade crucial para reformular o tratamento renal. Em consonância com esse reconhecimento, o tema do Dia Mundial do Rim de 2026, “Saúde Renal para Todos: Cuidar de Pessoas e Proteger o Planeta”, clama por uma mudança sistêmica. Um modelo sustentável deve priorizar a detecção precoce e a prevenção, reduzindo a necessidade de terapia renal substitutiva. O transplante e a diálise domiciliar trazem benefícios às pessoas com insuficiência renal, bem como ao meio ambiente e à sociedade. A própria diálise deve se tornar mais sustentável do ponto de vista ambiental, sem comprometer a qualidade do atendimento, reconhecendo que as mudanças ambientais globais, por sua vez, afetam a saúde renal. O tratamento conservador também deve ser considerado, especialmente para pacientes idosos e frágeis, quando os benefícios à qualidade de vida superarem os oferecidos pela diálise. A concretização dessa mudança requer uma ação coordenada entre todas as partes interessadas; a educação e o engajamento do público, dos formuladores de políticas e dos profissionais de saúde para aumentar a conscientização sobre a ameaça que representam as doenças renais; e uma transição urgente para um cuidado centrado no paciente.

Seus rins estão saudáveis? Faça um diagnóstico precoce para proteger a saúde renal
Resumo A identificação precoce da doença renal pode proteger a saúde dos rins, prevenir a progressão da doença e complicações relacionadas, reduzir o risco de doenças cardiovasculares e diminuir a mortalidade. Devemos questionar “Seus rins estão saudáveis?” utilizando creatinina sérica para estimar a função renal e albumina urinária para avaliar lesões renais e endoteliais. A avaliação das causas e dos fatores de risco para a doença renal crônica (DRC) inclui testes para diabetes e medição da pressão arterial e do índice de massa corporal. Neste Dia Mundial do Rim, enfatizamos que a detecção de casos em populações de alto risco, ou mesmo a triagem em nível populacional, pode reduzir o ônus da doença renal globalmente. A DRC em estágio inicial é assintomática, facilmente diagnosticável e os recentes tratamentos, que representam uma mudança de paradigma, como inibidores do cotransportador de sódio-glicose tipo 2, promovem uma melhora significativa nos desfechos da doença e favorecem a análise custo-benefício para programas de triagem ou detecção de casos. Apesar disso, existem diversos obstáculos, incluindo a alocação de recursos, o financiamento da saúde, a infraestrutura dos serviços de saúde e a conscientização sobre a doença renal entre profissionais da saúde e a população em geral. Esforços coordenados pelas principais organizações não governamentais dedicadas a doenças renais, com o objetivo de priorizar a agenda de saúde renal junto aos governos e alinhar as iniciativas de detecção precoce com outros programas atuais, irão maximizar a eficiência.
