March is National Kidney Month. Kidney disease means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. 

Did you know that Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is most common in people over 65 and among those with Medicare? Screening for early detection of CKD
is crucial in preventing kidney failure as people may not have early symptoms. Estimates show more than 1 in 7 adults have CKD and 9 in 10 adults with CKD don’t know they have it.

Visit Health Observances to download resources to help your community get screened for CKD and know how to get treatment.
