March 10, 2016 is World Kidney Day.
“Move Your Feet” for World Kidney Day is a symbolic gesture to remember that kidneys are vital organs and that they should be taken care of. It is a way to make people more conscious about their lifestyle choices and in particular about the risks, dangers and burden of kidney disease and how to prevent it.

Did you know the average New Orleanian consumes 18 mg of salt per day? As Dr. Batuman observed in this week's Medicine Grand Rounds, that is the equivalent of drinking 2 liters of saline solution daily.
