Message from the CMO
The kidneys are the unsung heroes of keeping our bodies functioning properly. Every 30 minutes, these fist-sized organs filter all our blood to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid. They are also important for controlling blood pressure, red blood cell production, bone health, and electrolyte and mineral balance. Kidney disease might not get as much attention as heart attacks, strokes, and cancer. However, kidney failure is life-threatening and can lead to heart disease, stroke, anemia, weakened bones, dangerous changes in electrolyte levels, decreased immunity, and impaired consciousness. In the last stage of kidney disease when they stop working, people might need dialysis or kidney transplant in order to survive.
