Kidney disease
Kidney disease afflicts 1 out of every 7 U.S. adults (~ 30 million people,) and 1 in 3 U.S. adults are at risk for kidney disease. Most people (96% early kidney disease stages 1/2 and 48% late stage 4) are not even aware of having kidney disease. Early diagnosis leads to improved long-term outcomes. Risk factors include high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and a family history of kidney disease.
Hypertension
High blood pressures is a common and dangerous condition of which the pressure in your blood vessels is higher than it should be. Hypertension afflicts 1 of 3 U.S. adults (~75 million people). In fact, 7 out of every 10 people having their first heart attack and 8 out of every 10 people having their first stroke have high blood pressure. Kidney disease is also a major risk factor for high blood pressure. 1 in every 5 U.S. adults with high blood pressure do not know that they have it.
Kidney Transplantation
Kidney transplantation provides a life saving organ to a person without the use of their own kidneys. Kidney donation is currently referred to as giving the gift of life.
Dialysis
Dialysis is an artificial means of taking place of the kidneys (blood or through the peritoneum) and is becoming more prevalent in the United States.
Kidney Stone Prevention
Kidney stone prevention is the mainstay of management for kidney stones. Dietary changes and/or medical therapy can change your life.
