World Kidney Day – Kidney Health for All

Karachi, March 09, 2023 (PPI-OT): World Kidney Day is a global campaign designed to raise awareness of the importance of our kidneys to the overall health of our body. The campaign aims to educate on potential risk factors for kidney disease and encourage preventive behaviours to help us care for our kidneys so they can continue taking care of us.

What do your kidneys do?

Your two kidneys, each about the size of your fist, are the natural filter system of your body. Their main responsibility is to remove waste, toxins, and extra fluid from your blood, allowing your body to sustain a good chemical balance, control blood pressure, manage anemia, and maintain strong bones. The removed waste and extra fluid turn into urine, which is then stored in the bladder until you go to the bathroom.

When the kidneys are damaged, they are unable to effectively filter blood. This can lead to a build-up of waste in your body, which consequently results in various health problems.

What is chronic kidney disease?

Chronic kidney disease or chronic renal failure is a condition in which the kidneys progressively lose their ability to remove waste and excess fluid from the bloodstream. More than 1 in 10 people have some form of kidney damage and it is more common in women.

The two leading causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure. If you have heart problems, obesity, a family history of kidney disease, or are above age 60, you are also at high risk of having kidney disease.

Kidney disease can act as a silent killer. Most people don’t experience any symptoms until the kidneys are already badly damaged, which can lead to kidney failure. 2 out of 5 adults with severe kidney disease don’t know they have it. The only way to know if you have kidney disease is through blood and urine tests, which is why preventive measures are so important for kidney health.

While chronic kidney disease can be treatable through medication, the only treatment options for kidney failure are dialysis or kidney transplantation; hence, organ donation, living and deceased, is a commendable, lifesaving generosity that should be encouraged.

How can you take care of your kidneys?

The good news is that kidney disease is preventable as long as you take the proper steps to protect your kidneys:
Drink 10-12 glasses of water every day
Exercise for at least 30 minutes every day
Maintain a healthy diet; keep salt intake to 5-6 grams per day
Avoid smoking
Avoid regular intake of painkillers
Ensure your blood pressure and sugar levels are in control
Get yearly lab screening tests?

With disastrous events such as earthquakes, floods, and difficult economic times, it is more important than ever to prioritize prevention, early detection, and management of kidney disease, to live a healthy, happy life.

Roy’s 145* trumps Babar’s 115 in HBL PSL

Lahore, March 09, 2023 (PPI-OT): It was one of those matches that leaves viewers exhausted because of its high intensity. Peshawar Zalmi and Quetta Gladiators added another classic to their epic rivalry on Wednesday as the latter chased down a towering 241-run target with eight wickets in hand and 10 balls to spare at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.

In a match that saw 483 runs being scored – the highest run aggregate for an HBL Pakistan Super League match – records tumbled regularly. Some were broken in the run chase after only being made in the first innings. For example, Babar Azam’s record for most fours in an HBL PSL innings (15) lasted less than two hours as Jason Roy clubbed 20 fours in the run chase.

Some records made in the match:
Highest total for Peshawar Zalmi – 240-2
Highest total for Quetta Gladiators – 243-2
Highest aggregate in an HBL PSL match – 483
Fourth highest chase of all time and highest in HBL PSL
Most boundaries hit by a team in HBL PSL match – Quetta Gladiators (40)

Jason Roy’s was fourth century in the ongoing edition – never before this have many centuries been scored in an HBL PSL edition

First time two centuries made in an HBL PSL match
Most fours hit in an HBL PSL innings – Jason Roy (20)
Jason Roy becomes only foreigner with two centuries in HBL PSL history

Highest individual score in HBL PSL – Jason Roy (145 not out), also his highest score in the format

Most runs from fours and sixes in an HBL PSL innings – Jason Roy (110 – 20 fours and five sixes)

After Babar’s sublime century – his first in the HBL PSL – propelled them to their highest score of 240 for two, Peshawar Zalmi would have been confident entering the ground in the second innings as never before has a target of such magnitude been chased down and Quetta Gladiators had only won two matches before today in this edition. But, Roy’s sensational unbeaten century kept their hopes alive for the Playoff qualification.

Peshawar Zalmi had a perfect start, after electing to bat, as Saim Ayub (74 off 34) and Babar (115 off 65) stitched the second highest opening partnership of 162. The two batters played exquisite strokes around the dial, giving no place to Quetta Gladiators bowlers to hide. They made full use of the Power play, taking 67 runs of it, and dealt in boundaries after the fielding restrictions were lifted.

Saim smoked five sixes and six hours before his mishit resulted in an easy catch for Mohammad Nawaz, Quetta Gladiators’ stand-in skipper, at cover off Dwaine Pretorius. To make the most of the platform laid by the openers, Peshawar Zalmi promoted Rovman Powell to number three and the West Indian obliged with an 18-ball 35 not out (three fours and two sixes).

From the other end, Babar produced a batting master class in which he smashed 18 elegant boundaries (15 fours and three sixes). This was his eighth century and placed him on the joint-second spot in the list for the most T20 centuries with Michael Klinger, David Warner and Aaron Finch. Chris Gayle tops that chart with 22.

Roy, in reply, put the best-ever HBL PSL individual score with 145 not out in only 63 balls as he smashed 20 fours and five sixes. That he had the company of Martin Guptill, who played a cameo of eight-ball 21 (three fours and a six) before getting caught and bowled off Wahab Riaz in the third over, played in Quetta Gladiators’ favour as by the time his wicket fell, they had already racked up 41 runs.

What followed next from Roy was a breath-taking display of power-hitting. He partnered with Will Smeed for 109 runs and the latter scored only 26 off them. He tormented Peshawar Zalmi’s bowlers and propelled his side to 88 by the completion of Power play. By the completion of the 10th over, Quetta Gladiators had knocked off around 57 per cent of the target.

This dismissal of Smeed in the 12th over brought Mohammad Hafeez at the crease and the former Pakistan all-rounder rolled back the clock with clean hitting that he had become known for in the twilight of his international career. Hafeez spanked 41 not out off just 18 balls with six fours and two sixes to help Roy pull off a run chase for the ages.

The match also marked the first-ever instance of Sarfaraz Ahmed missing an HBL PSL game as Quetta Gladiators regular skipper nursed an injured finger.

Scores in brief:

Peshawar Zalmi 240-2, 20 overs (Babar Azam 115, Saim Ayub 74, Rovman Powell 35 not out)

Quetta Gladiators 243-2, 18.2 overs (Jason Roy 145 not out, Mohammad Hafeez 41 not out, Will Smeed 26, Martin Guptill 21)

Player of the match – Jason Roy (Quetta Gladiators)
