What's scary is the following re 90% ... 👇

"Around 90% of people with #kidney disease—9 in 10 adults—don’t know they have it. Why? Kidney disease often has no symptoms until its later stages. Many people are also unaware of their risk factors and don’t know when to get tested."

‼️ 90% ‼️

Take a moment to let that sink in.

I was not told that I have #CKD until I was diagnosed with #ESKD three years later in the ER.
