Help us raise awareness about kidney disease and help support those whose lives have been affected by kidney disease. Approximately 1 in 6 Americans have kidney disease, but most people do not even know it! It could be you, a family member, or one of your friends…wouldn’t it be best to know if there is a problem before it is too late? There are often there are no symptoms of kidney disease until the late stages.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Kidney disease can be detected with simple blood and urine tests. If caught early, its progression to kidney failure may be delayed or prevented. The Kidney Trust will provide everyone who pre-registers through the event web site a kidney screening at NO CHARGE!
