The kidney is a vital part of the body that helps to remove waste products and excess water from the body. The bean-shaped organ allows us to consume a variety of foods, drugs, vitamins, and excess fluids without the harmful build-up of toxic waste.
As vital as the organ is to the body, a lot of us tend to take it for granted and neglect the importance of thinking before consuming. But be warned my friends! The kidneys are also considered as "silent killers" - meaning they could possibly fail without warning! Which brings to the fact that prevention is always better than cure.
Kidneys could fail for more reasons than one - sometimes even affecting the healthiest dieters. Failure in the kidneys will result in patients having to turn to dialysis treatment and will also face lifelong challenges.
As of September 2011, the National Kidney Foundation records that 1435 patients are in need of dialysis treatment, which brings about the need to raise RM12 million of funds.
In order to provide the treatment that kidney failure patients require, your help and donation would make a world of a difference to those in need. Every cent counts!
