Give your kidneys more care
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.
Understand the importance of kidney health
Kidneys remove extra waste and fluid from our bodies. They help maintain a healthy balance of water, salts and minerals, that helps our nerves, muscles and other tissues work normally. 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.
