Four simple tests can detect CKD: blood pressure, urine albumin, urine protein, and serum creatinine.

What do our kidneys do?

Our kidneys are amazingly complex organs. They keep us healthy by

  • Filtering blood continuously
  • Producing urine
  • Secreting drugs and toxins
  • Regulating the amount of fluids in the body
  • Balancing the chemicals in the blood
  • Producing the hormones that regulate the production of red blood cells and support healthy bones
  • Producing the enzyme that controls blood pressure
