Hi, I'm Neff! Do you have
a visit with us coming up?

2
00:00:05.840 --> 00:00:08.073
Let's talk about getting
your labs done first.

3
00:00:08.723 --> 00:00:11.360
Labs are tests on a sample
of your blood or urine.

4
00:00:11.680 --> 00:00:13.406
They help show how your kidneys are doing.

5
00:00:13.953 --> 00:00:16.460
A blood test shows how
well your kidneys filter.

6
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:19.804
A urine test looks for a
protein called albumin.

7
00:00:20.451 --> 00:00:24.720
Why get them done before your visit? So
your results are ready when you come in.

8
00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:26.604
Then we can go over them with you.

9
00:00:27.242 --> 00:00:32.040
Did we ask you to get labs before your
visit? Then follow the steps we gave you.

10
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:35.509
Not sure where or when to go? Ask us.

11
00:00:36.088 --> 00:00:38.140
You don't need to skip
food for these tests.

12
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.324
Don't stop any medicine
unless we tell you to.

13
00:00:41.962 --> 00:00:44.040
Your results can go up and down a little.

14
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:47.326
So we watch them over time,
to see how your kidneys are doing.

15
00:00:47.965 --> 00:00:50.840
At your visit, ask us what
your results mean for you.

16
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:53.516
Write down your questions before you come.

17
00:00:54.074 --> 00:00:56.980
We're here to help.
Bring your questions to every visit.

18
00:00:57.300 --> 00:00:58.993
Let's take care of your kidneys together!
