National Kidney Month

From the March 2019 Benefits eNews

March is National Kidney Month, and the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) is urging all Americans to give their kidneys a second thought and a well-deserved checkup.

 

Kidneys filter 200 liters of blood a day, help regulate blood pressure and direct red blood cell production. But they are also prone to disease; 1 in 3 Americans is at risk for kidney disease due to diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney failure. Early detection can make a difference in preventing kidney disease, so it’s important to know if you’re at risk. Watch a short video and take the online kidney quiz!
