Renal health and disease awareness initiatives in Spain

Overview

Efforts to improve renal health awareness and management in Spain have expanded through various public and private initiatives.

Initially, the Fundación Renal Española launched ‘Salud Renal Siempre’, a free digital platform designed to provide information on kidney disease prevention, management, dialysis, and transplantation. This resource aims to assist both healthy individuals and those with renal diseases, specifically addressing risks like hyperkalemia, which is often associated with chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and diabetes.

Following this, the ‘Renalidades’ campaign was launched at the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid. This initiative, a collaboration between the biopharmaceutical company Sobi, ALCER, and AIRG-E, focuses on increasing visibility for rare kidney diseases such as C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) and primary immune complex-mediated membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (IC-MPGN). The campaign highlights the clinical complexities of diagnosing these conditions and the high risk of renal failure among affected patients.
