NephroPlus sets Guinness World Record & India Book of Records Title

Hyderabad, Mar 12 (UNI) NephroPlus, Asia’s largest dialysis care network, on Wednesday announced it has achieved a monumental milestone by setting a Guinness World Record for the ‘Most Number of Sign-ups for a Health Screening Test in One Week’ with 10,500 sign -ups within
the period from March 6 – 11.
It also secured a place in the India Book of Records for the ‘Maximum People Screened for Serum Creatinine Test Held at Multiple Venues, a release said here .

Over 4500 screenings were conducted from March 6 to 8, across 26+ cities as part of its campaign for World Kidney Day 2025.

This groundbreaking initiative aimed to promote awareness about the early detection and prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and educate communities on essential kidney health practices through accessible screenings and personalized risk assessments.
The free kidney screening camps, organized under the slogan ‘Are Your Kidneys OK? Detect Early and Protect Kidney Health,’ received an overwhelming response from thousands of participants.
The initiative specifically targeted high-risk individuals, including those with diabetes and hypertension, emphasizing the critical importance of early detection in preventing kidney disease.
Major cities covered in the campaign included Bengaluru, Delhi, Jaipur, Pune, Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Ranchi among others.
On this occasion, NephroPlus also launched a groundbreaking study on Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
With the extensive offline data collected through these screenings, the company plans to publish a white paper and a manuscript in a reputed academic journal—most likely the first-ever global white paper on CKD prevention.
Vikram Vuppala, Group CEO and Founder of NephroPlus, said: “This remarkable accomplishment highlights our unwavering commitment to raising awareness about kidney health in a country where CKD prevalence ranges from 12% to 21% across different regions. Many cases remain undiagnosed until the advanced stages, which underscores the need for large-scale, preventive health interventions. Setting two world records simultaneously reflects the unprecedented scale of our initiative and our determination to bring life-saving early detection to communities with limited access to specialized healthcare.”
“The launch of our CKD prevention study is a game-changer. Governments worldwide need to recognize that CKD prevention is not just a health initiative—it’s a strategic economic investment,
he added.
