Magyar kezdeményezésre, minden év márciusának második csütörtökét a Vese Világnapjának nyilvánították 2006-ban. Egy nap, amely világszerte felhívja a figyelmet vesénk központi szerepére általános egészségünk szempontjából.
2024-ban a Vese Világnapja március 14-én lesz. Fontosnak tartjuk és kérjük a hazai nephrologiai központokat, hogy kezdjenek hozzá a regionális lakossági rendezvények szervezéséhez és a sajtókommunikáció tervezéséhez.
Kérjük az egyes nephrologiai központokat, hogy a Vese Világnap regionális programját (ideje, helye, tervezett programja) küldjék el a Magyar Nephrologiai Társaság főtitkárának (Dr. Kárpáti István
istvan.karpati@nephrologia.hu ).
Az információkat közzétesszük a Magyar Nephrologiai Társaság honlapján.Ugyancsak közzétesszük az egyes események összefoglalóit, szakmai anyagait és sajtómegjelenéseit amennyiben azokat időben megkapjuk.
VESE VILÁGNAPI ESEMÉNYEK Budapest Kattintásra nagyítható:
Székesfehérvár: Idén is saját szervezésű programmal kapcsolódik a vese világnapjához a Fejér Vármegyei Szent György Egyetemi Oktató Kórház. A helyi Dialízisközpontban március 9-én, szombaton 14 órától nyílt fórumot rendeznek, ahol fontos, praktikus tudnivalókkal látják el, és ezzel az egészséges életmód kialakítására, fenntartására ösztönzik a vesebetegeket és minden érdeklődőt.
Az idei világnap központi témája, hogy egyenlő esélyeket és optimális gyógyszeres kezelést biztosítsanak mindenkinek a vesék egészsége érdekében – hangzott el a témában tartott sajtótájékoztatón.
Magyar kezdeményezésre 2006 óta tartják a vese világnapját minden év márciusának második csütörtökén. Ezzel a nemzetközi összefogással világszerte hangsúlyozzák a megelőzés, a szűrés fontosságát annak érdekében, hogy már a veseelégtelenség első jeleinél szakszerű ellátást kapjanak az érintettek. Az idei mottó, hogy egyenlő esélyeket biztosítsanak minden beteg számára a megfelelő vesekezeléshez.
Östör Annamária egészségügyi, sport- és társadalmi fenntarthatósági tanácsnok arról beszélt, hogy a Székesfehérvár 2011-ben megalkotott Egészségfejlesztési Tervében rendszerint helyet kapnak az aktuális világnapok köré épített helyi programok. A városnak olyan orvosi gárdája, elismert szakemberei vannak, akik együttműködésükkel nagyban segítik Fehérvár lakosságát a megelőzésben.
Idén a vese világnapjának központi témája az egyenlő esélyek megteremtése és az optimális gyógyszerezés biztosítása minden érintett számára – hangsúlyozta Dr. Zakar Gábor belgyógyász, nefrológus főorvos, a Szent György Kórház Dialízisközpontjának vezetője. Elmondta, nálunk Magyarországon ez azt jelenti, hogy a vesebetegeknek biztosítsák a hozzáférést a megfelelő alap- és szakellátáshoz. Életbe vágó, hogy az emberek tisztában legyenek a krónikus vesebetegség kockázatával, ami leginkább a magas vérnyomásos betegekre, valamint a cukorbetegekre jellemző és a lakosságnak mintegy felét érinti.
Fontos feladat, hogy az egészséges életmód és étrend kialakításában segítsék az érintetteket. A székesfehérvári nefrológiai szakrendelésen vannak olyan szakemberek, akik egyénileg vagy kis csoportokban tanítják a betegeket a szükséges teendőkre, illetve akut elégtelenség esetén elmagyarázzák a vesepótló módszereket is azért, hogy a beteg időben választhasson.
Dr. Zakar Gábor kiemelte, fontos kerülni a vesekárosító gyógyszereket, többek között a recept nélkül kapható fájdalomcsillapítókat, melyek az egyik legnagyobb veszélyt jelentik a vesére, eltúlzott szedésük akár visszafordíthatatlan károsodást is okozhat. 2020 óta létezik olyan gyógyszer, melyet a cukorbetegek kezelésére hoztak létre, azonban kiderült, hogy jelentősen javítja a vese állapotát is. Január elsejétől ezt a készítményt a nem cukorbetegek is megkaphatják TB támogatott módon. 2024. március 9-én, szombaton 14.00 órától a Dialízisközpont (Seregélyesi út 3.) aulájában nyílt fórumot rendeznek, melynek témája a betegek együttműködésének szerepe a krónikus vesebetegségek kezelésében. Szeretettel hívják és várják az érintetteket és minden érdeklődőt!

Dive into the scientific aspects of the 2024 theme!
To increase awareness about kidney health and access to kidney care and treatment, the World Kidney Day (WKD) Joint Steering Committee published its yearly editorial focusing on “ Kidney Health for All: Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice ”.
Mind the gap in kidney care: translating what we know into what we do Access to kidney care remains hindered by a significant gap between available treatments and their implementation, taking an average of 17 years to translate clinical evidence into practice .
Now is the t ime to act to improve access to care for individuals living with kidney disease . With clear guidelines for prevention and management, we must ensure early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, breaking down systematic barriers to preserve and improve kidney health globally.
Join us in advocating for change and maximizing opportunities to access care and treatment, because every action taken today can save lives tomorrow.

Advancing equitable access to care and optimal medication practice

Goal : Ensuring equitable access to appropriate treatment and care for people living with kidney disease, in order to improve their quality of life and delay the progression of the disease. Why: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 850 million people , causing more than 3.1 million deaths in 2019 , with kidney dysfunction ranking as the 8th leading global cause of death , and is projected to become the fifth by 2040 . How: Recent medication breakthroughs have shown significant success in delaying CKD progression and reducing associated complications. Yet, not everyone has equal access to care!
