Connecting the Dots of Kidney Health
Find out what causes kidney disease and how you can help slow its progression in a no-cost Kidney Smart® class.
How other health conditions affect kidneys
Did you know chronic kidney disease (CKD) is often caused by other health problems? Conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease can put a lot of stress on your kidneys over time. That's why managing these conditions is so important for protecting your kidney health.
The importance of early detection
The good news is that with an early CKD diagnosis, you can take steps to help prevent or delay kidney damage. Even if there is some kidney damage, there are still treatment options that can help prevent further damage and save remaining kidney function.
