Do not let your kidneys to break you heart.

campaign to raise awareness of the importance of the relationship between kidney and heart

-One of every five patients is unknown that kidney damage can affect the heart

-patients with cardiovascular impairment must know that they also are more likely to suffer from kidney disease

Madrid, 2011-September the Federation ALCER (Association to combat kidney disease), in collaboration with Abbott, has launched the campaign “ don’t let your kidneys to break you heart ”, on the occasion of the world heart day, held yesterday, Sunday, September 25. It is sensitizing the general population of the importance of the relationship between kidney and heart.

“ Lot of people don’t know about diseased kidneys may pose a diseased heart and vice versa, is what is known as syndrome originally (SCR). We can prevent it with a proper diet low in fat and salt, exercise and control of the levels of blood pressure, glucose and cholesterol ”, said Alejandro Toledo, President of the Federation ALCER.

During the last week were placed information points in different cities of Spain such as Valencia, Zaragoza and Bilbao. There volunteered information, tips and other support materials to all who have approached. In some of them have had the presence of three unique characters: the kidneys and the heart, who have been responsible for distributing rings that symbolize the commitment to health care and the prevention of the SCR.

In addition, some faces known as singer David de María, model Judit Mascó, the actors Paco Valladares and Luis Fernández, Víctor Ullate dancer or the presenter Cristina Saavedra, wanted to join this message and support this campaign with a video which aims to raise general awareness of the importance of care and “ compromise ” health originally.

Social Observatory of the originally health

With the aim of providing all the useful, reliable and up-to-date information about chronic kidney disease (ERC) and the syndrome to patients, caregivers, families, and general population originally (SCR), has created the Social originally Health Observatory (OSSCAR).

The Federation ALCER, the Spanish society of Nephrology (SEN) and the Spanish society of nursing Nefrológica (SEDEN), with the support of ABBOTT and ESTEVE, launched this initiative which, in addition to the information includes tips, tools to help the patient or testimonies, all of this dynamicallysimple and easily accessible.

El syndrome originally and the importance of early diagnosis of the ERC

The relationship between the heart and kidneys is quite unknown by the general population. However, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in renal patients (1).

The survey ENPER by ALCER Foundation recently shows that 1 of every 5 of these patients is unknown that kidney damage can affect you the heart.

Another study indicates that the kidney patients who are at an advanced stage are 10 times more likely to submit a cardiovascular episode in a year than those with normal renal function (2). Why early detection of kidney disease is fundamental, because it can help stop the progression of the disease and cardiovascular complications.

Furthermore, patients with a cardiovascular impairment must know that they are more likely to also suffer kidney failure.

Chronic kidney disease (ERC)

Chronic kidney disease (ERC) is a disorder in which the kidneys are less effective to eliminate toxins from the bloodstream and secrete hormones important for a healthy blood and bone function. There are five stages of decline in kidney function. The most severe phase (stage 5) represents renal failure. It is estimated that the ERC affects 10% of the population (3) and they are patients who also have an increased risk of cardiovascular complications.

About ALCER

The Association for the fight against the renal diseases, ALCER, is a non-profit created in 1976. A group of kidney patients were proposed to improve the living conditions of this group, in an era where access to dialysis treatment was limited to a very small number of patients and the possibility of receiving a kidney transplant were very scarce, due among other things, to the validity of a law that regulated this matter very obsolete and little awareness existing in the Spanish society for organ donation. Little by little, the Association was born in principle on a national level, was extended to other provinces, creating different delegations. This motivated the need for a body to coordinate efforts, projects, demands and to serve for the exchange of views of all the associations. In 1981, was born the ALCER National Federation, which was declared of public utility by the Council of Ministers in 1984.

In the year 2003 in order to deepen the relationship between health professionals dedicated to the Nephrology and the National Federation of ALCER, General Assembly of the entity, decided to set up the Foundation Renal ALCER Spain, which has become an important tool to develop various projects which share a common goal which led to the creation of the Associationdoes, and remains to date: the improvement of the quality of life of the collective of kidney patients and their family.
