There are now 37 Million Americans with kidney disease.
It’s estimated that more than 850 million people have kidney disease globally, which is roughly double the number of people living with diabetes and 20 times more than the prevalence of cancer worldwide or people living with AIDS/HIV.
Even more shocking is that 90% still don’t know!
It’s projected that 1 in 3 American adults are at risk for kidney disease in their lifetime, and that by 2030 80 Million Americans will have kidney disease!
This is unacceptable!

Diabetes and high blood pressure are the 2 leading causes. Heart disease, obesity, lupus, a family history of kidney disease, and now even COVID-19 are some additional risk factors.
Know Your Numbers
