Keeping your kidneys healthy means improved overall health. According to the CDC more than 1 in 7 Americans have chronic kidney disease. This is a more serious condition, but many Americans, experience other painful kidney conditions such as kidney stones and kidney cysts. The good news is a primary care provider can help test your kidney function and determine the right next steps for managing your kidney health.

Kidneys can also help control blood pressure, make red blood cells and aid in bone health. You can maintain your kidney health through hydration, a balanced diet and other healthy lifestyle choices.
