Kidney Care Campaign - Presentation - Page 3
Kidney disease is
often called the
“silent killer.”
Two million Canadians have chronic kidney disease or are at risk
— but most are unaware of it.
Almost half of new chronic kidney disease patients are under 65.1
117,000 people in Saskatchewan have some form of kidney disease.2
But, one is really the only number that matters when a person
you care about is affected by chronic kidney disease.
Your mother. Your employee. Your childhood friend.
With your help, we can change the future of kidney health in
Saskatchewan, improving lives and keeping families together.
