Why should I take Healthyr's Kidney Health Test?
- Approximately 1 in 3 adults with diabetes have kidney disease. Many people with kidney disease are unaware because the early stages have no symptoms.
- High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney disease, with approximately 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure potentially having kidney disease. When high blood pressure damages the kidneys, they are less able to regulate blood pressure, worsening both conditions.
- So, if you are diabetic or have high blood pressure, it is important to monitor your kidney function more closely and consistently so that you can catch warning signs early and take action to prevent disease progression.
