World Kidney Day “do-it-yourself”

Abstract

Since more than 5 years, the World Kidney Day (WKD) is held in Italy in March. It represents an important event to stimulate kidney disease prevention among the population. We asked dr. Luca Apicella, a young nephrologist, to tell us about his experience organizing, for the first time, the WKD in his hometown, Salerno. In his report, Dr. Apicella outlines the main steps followed to organize the event and the difficulties that he faced in the preceding months. His account results in a practical checklist to be adopted by every young nephrologist who wishes to follow his example and successfully organize the WKD in his/her area.
