Hi, I'm Neff Roligeé! Who should get
their kidneys checked? Let's find out.

2
00:00:08.583 --> 00:00:12.400
Early kidney disease usually has
no symptoms. You can feel fine.

3
00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:14.683
Testing is the only way to know.

4
00:00:15.241 --> 00:00:19.180
Do you have diabetes or high blood
pressure? Get your kidneys checked.

5
00:00:19.500 --> 00:00:22.427
These are the two most common
causes of kidney disease.

6
00:00:22.973 --> 00:00:24.160
Do you have heart disease?

7
00:00:24.560 --> 00:00:27.970
Has someone in your family had
kidney failure? Get checked, too.

8
00:00:28.528 --> 00:00:33.191
Are you over sixty? Your risk can be
higher. Ask us about getting checked.

9
00:00:33.738 --> 00:00:38.280
The check is two simple tests. A blood
test shows how well your kidneys filter.

10
00:00:38.740 --> 00:00:41.736
A urine test looks for a
protein called albumin.

11
00:00:42.259 --> 00:00:45.800
How often? If you have diabetes,
get checked every year.

12
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:49.562
If you have another risk,
ask us how often is right for you.

13
00:00:50.208 --> 00:00:54.040
Kidney disease can run in families.
If you have it, tell your family.

14
00:00:54.380 --> 00:00:56.048
It may help them get checked, too.

15
00:00:56.686 --> 00:01:00.645
The sooner you know, the sooner you
can act to protect your kidneys.

16
