I want to discuss African Americans and chronic kidney disease. “The National Kidney Foundation shares African Americans are 3 times more likely to experience kidney failure than other cultures.”1 However, did you know chronic kidney disease could be managed during the early stages to prevent progression?1 Visit kidneyknowledgeforcare.blogspot.com today for more information about the disease!

Knowledge for Care program.
