National Kidney Month
American Primary Care Physicians
Your kidneys filter about 200 quarts of blood each day, removing waste and excess fluids. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 1 in 7 adults in the US. Risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, and a family history of kidney failure. Annual kidney function tests (creatinine, GFR) are recommended for those at risk. Stay hydrated, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid overuse of NSAIDs.
