Millions of people at risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be able to prevent the need for dialysis and kidney transplantation with early identification and a dedication to healthy habits.
During National Kidney Month in March and in honor of World Kidney Day, March 8, 2012, the NKF is calling on all Americans to protect their kidneys and prevent damage by educating themselves about CKD and the proactive ways they can reduce their risk of kidney failure.
Because identification of the disease is such an important first step, NKFCNY is offering a free screening through the Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP) on Thursday, March 8, 2012 at NKFCNY offices, 731 James St, Syracuse, NY 13203. KEEP is offered to those most at risk for CKD – anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease.
Registration for the KEEP screening is recommended. Call 315-476-0311 Today!
The National Kidney Foundation of CNY is dedicated to preventing kidney and urinary tract diseases, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families affected by these diseases and increasing the availability of all organs for transplantation. For more information about risk factors, World Kidney Day activities and to sign up for the free screening, visit www.kidney.org.
