Abstract: (866 Views)
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic posed an unprecedented challenge to healthcare systems. COVID's high mortality rates, lack of intensive care unit (ICU) beds, multiple restrictions, and the vaccination process have affected almost all health policies and aspects of individual life. The high mortality rate of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) infection in patients with chronic diseases, especially CKD, and concerns about the increasing prevalence of non-communicable diseases during the pandemic have drawn much attention to the association between CKD and COVID-19. One of the most critical efforts to combat CKD is the world kidney day (WKD) campaign. World kidney day is the international society of nephrology (ISN) and the international federation of kidney foundations (IFKF) joint initiative to increase public awareness about the importance of kidneys and related diseases, especially CKD. World kidney day 2023, kidney health for all - Preparing for the unexpected, supporting the vulnerable, aims to raise awareness about the importance of kidneys and CKD. Moreover, this campaign encourages screening, and preventive behaviors, in patients at risk for CKD. Based on limited evidence, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the risk of CKD risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and higher intake of fat and high-salt foods. On the other hand, reducing patients' access to health care has reduced screening in high-risk patients and reduced primary care for CKD patients.
