National Kidney Month
March 1, 2024
This month is dedicated to raising awareness about kidney health and encouraging people to take steps to keep their kidneys healthy. Did you know that as many as 90% of Americans who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) don’t know they have the disease until it is very advanced?
To prevent kidney disease, the National Kidney Foundation recommends taking proactive steps to keep your kidneys healthy and prevent the onset of CKD. You can protect your kidneys by managing high blood pressure, making healthy food and drink choices, and reducing stress.
