Your kidneys and you
Most people don't know how important their kidneys are. Learn about your kidneys and how to take care of them!
The problem
Medicare alone spends $87 billion caring for individuals with kidney disease.
Why? Most people don't know anything about their kidneys and how important they are to their health, even the 37 million people who have kidney disease. If caught early, kidney disease can be slowed or even stopped.
