I realize that my last post probably doesn't have much impact. So I'm going to put it in perspective for you. 1 in 7 people have kidney disease and don't know it. Based on my web stats, that means there's about a 1000 of you people reading this who may have kidney disease and don't know it. Does your doctor check your kidney function? Ask him/her at your next visit, if they don't check it, ask them too. Its a simple blood test. Again, this means YOU, get your kidney's checked. The stats from the NBC4 might also be a bit misleading. I said that out of 600 people, 66% will have at least one abnormal test. That's because the population that visits the Expo has several risk factors that predispose them to kidney disease. In the general population, the average number of people with kidney disease is closer to 14% (1 in 7).
