PKD Awareness Day, also known as Polycystic Kidney Disease Awareness Day, is observed worldwide every September 4. This initiative was launched in Canada in 2014 by Health Canada to educate the public about polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of multiple cysts on the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure if untreated. The day aims to inform people about the symptoms and complications of PKD, which include abdominal pain, high blood pressure, and excessive urination. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences with the disease, donate to organizations supporting PKD patients and research, and spread awareness on social media using hashtags like #PKDAwarenessDay and #EndPKD. The event has gained international recognition, reflecting the impact of PKD on millions globally, regardless of race or gender.
