Kidney transplant cases are on the rise in the country.  There are only 15,000 kidney donors against 2 lakh patients.  These figures make 2 things clear.  The first people may not initially understand kidney disease.  Because of this the talk reaches to kidney transplant.  Second, transplants are not easy for patients on the verge of kidney failure because of the relatively small number of donors.
                    
 This is the only way to get rid of both problems.  Take care of every little thing that makes kidney sick.  Today is World Kidney Day.  On this occasion, let us know how to keep the kidneys healthy ...
                   
 Because of this kidney cases are on the rise
 Experts say that some symptoms are seen when the disease starts in the kidneys.  Some symptoms also match other illnesses.  So people tend to ignore it.  It causes serious kidney disease and last stage.  This is why 90% of kidney patients do not understand the disease.
