IKCA Celebrates National Kidney Month
Wednesday, Mar 4, 2020 - Posted by Advertising Department [The following is a paid advertisement.] March is National Kidney Month, a time when people across the country come together to raise awareness about kidney disease. Join the Illinois Kidney Care Alliance (IKCA) this month as we get the word out. ![]() An estimated 30 million Americans live with kidney disease, and one in three U.S. adults is at risk. Over 30,000 people in Illinois suffer from kidney disease, and when it progresses to kidney failure, patients are faced with two treatment options: life-sustaining dialysis three times per week or undergoing a kidney transplant. The Illinois Kidney Care Alliance consists of community groups, advocates, health professionals, and businesses from across Illinois striving to educate the public about the challenges that people with kidney disease experience every day. People who have the disease feel a mental, physical, and financial burden — and their families suffer, as well. IKCA is here to tell their story.
