Thursday, March 11, the National Kidney Foundation's (NKF) national public awareness campaign, "
Are You the 33%?", asks all Americans to take action with a simple, one-minute quiz at MinuteForYourKidneys.org to find out if they're at risk for kidney disease. The campaign, originally launched in March 2020, now includes a new joint initiative launched with Bayer and award-winning actress Debbie Allen which focuses on the connection between type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a leading cause of kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD). This campaign aims to empower people to know their kidney risk, understand the importance of managing their blood sugar for good kidney health, and talk to their doctors about diabetes and kidney disease. To further commemorate World Kidney Day 2021, landmarks and buildings nationwide will "turn orange," the signature color for kidney disease.
