As part of the '糖 Campaign' hosted by Boehringer Ingelheim Korea, this event is designed to raise awareness of early diagnosis of chronic kidney disease for executives and employees and lead to actual diagnostic behavior. Following the kidney health talk show held in March to mark World Kidney Day, the program was organized as a follow-up event that provided employees with the opportunity to self-check their kidney health.
Executives and employees who participated in this event had time to check their urine conditions through a self-cultivation test kit paper and find out why early detection of chronic kidney disease is important. In addition, an OX quiz roulette event was held to point out common sense related to kidneys, and health snacks were provided to the correct answer, leading to high participation of executives and employees.
Park Ji-young, executive director of the CRM division in Beringer Ingelheim, Korea, said, "This event was meaningful in recognizing the need for kidney health care, checking one's health condition directly through a simple self-examination, and raising awareness of chronic kidney disease.""As early detection and active management of chronic kidney disease can prevent it from deteriorating to a stage requiring dialysis, we will continue to expand opportunities for employees and the public to practice health care in their daily lives." he said.
On the other hand, chronic kidney disease refers to a condition in which the decrease in kidney function or structural damage persists for more than 3 months. Since there are few initial symptoms, the disease is often quite advanced during diagnosis, so it is necessary to check the health of the kidneys. Diagnosis is possible through blood and urine tests, and regular examinations are recommended if you have chronic kidney disease risk factors such as ▲ diabetic or hypertensive patients, ▲ diabetic, hypertension and kidney disease patients in your family, ▲ obese, ▲ smoking, ▲ frequent occurrence of foam or hematuria, and ▲ over 50 years of age. In particular, diabetes is the most important cause of chronic kidney disease, and patients diagnosed with diabetes should be examined annually.
