2027 World Kidney Day theme

Kidneys, Heart, and Metabolism: The Core of Your Health

Kidney disease is closely connected to two of today’s greatest health challenges: cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders.

The kidneys, heart, and metabolic system continually influence one another. Diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, and abnormal blood lipids can damage the kidneys and increase cardiovascular risk. In turn, chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases strain on the heart and can make these conditions harder to manage. Protecting kidney health is therefore fundamental to protecting overall health.
