Kidney disease is often called a quiet condition because it usually develops without clear symptoms in its early stages. Routine blood and urine tests during your annual checkup are the easiest way to ensure your kidneys are filtering properly. Early detection makes all the difference!

Did you know your kidneys control the level of potassium in your body?

Foods like bananas, potatoes, and tomatoes are packed with potassium, which helps your muscles and heart function. However, if your kidneys are not working at 100%, too much potassium can build up in your blood. Ask your doctor or a renal dietitian if you should be choosing low-potassium options like apples and berries!
