Recently, you took the Kidney Risk Test and your results show that you are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease.

Take action:

Because you have high risk factors for kidney disease, you need to visit your GP for a Kidney Health Check, which includes 3 simple tests:

• a blood test, to find out the level of waste products in your blood and calculate what’s called your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR),
• a urine test, to check for albumin (a type of protein) in your urine, and
• a blood pressure test, as kidney disease causes high blood pressure and high blood pressure causes kidney disease.

We're urging you to take action today, and get a Kidney Health Check, because you are at high risk of kidney disease and you can lose 90% of kidney function with no noticeable symptoms. By the time symptoms are felt people are close to kidney failure. It’s not surprising that kidney disease is so often underdiagnosed, until it’s too late to do anything about it.

Keep an eye on your kidneys so you can live your best life for longer. Book an appointment with your GP to have a Kidney Health Check.
