“My kidneys are victims of me denying the fact that my hypertension needed therapy with conventional medicine. I put myself at great danger by refusing to accept the reality that I required daily medication for the rest of my life. I considered my body an invulnerable and indestructible bastion for way too long.
TINA
Today Thursday, March 9, is World Kidney Day. This day is intended to raise public awareness worldwide about a health issue that has received little attention to date: Chronic Kidney Disease.
Globally, 700 to 800 million people suffer from this disease and forecasts say that it will be the fifth leading cause of death in 2040 if prevention, treatment, and thus awareness of this disease in the population do not change.
As you know, Tina Turner has been suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease for many years, caused by high blood pressure, which she did not treat regularly with medication due to ignorance. She simply did not know the connection between the two diseases. Accordingly, it is important for her to educate and warn people.
A broad-based campaign to mark World Kidney Day on March 9, jointly led by the European Kidney Health Alliance, the Dutch Kidney Foundation, the European Kidney Patients’ Federation, the European Dialysis and Transplant Nurses Association/European Renal Care Association, the European Renal Association and the International Society of Nephrology is drawing special attention to the causes, prevention options, and diagnostics of chronic kidney disease.
A prominent supporter of the campaign is world star Tina Turner, whom herself suffers from kidney failure due to poorly treated high blood pressure. She says, “I put myself in great danger because I refused to face the reality that I needed daily, lifelong therapy with medication. I believed for far too long that my body was an untouchable and indestructible bastion.”
Tina Turner’s kidney disease story is part of the awareness campaign and will be available to read on the specially created website showyourkidneyslove.com. Here, patients, interested individuals, and policymakers can learn about kidney function and CKD, risk factors, prevention options, as well as recommended EU policy actions. The goal is to increase awareness of how important the kidneys are in the overall human complex and the great harm that underlying diseases such as inadequately treated hypertension and diabetes cause.

Thank you, Ben. My grandmother died (when I was in high school – so years ago) from kidney failure. Her problems were due to medication for other problems, but a better understanding of diet, smoking (she was a long time smoker), and watching her blood pressure may have given her more years. I’m very glad Tina is speaking out and educating others.
