FOCUS

Chronic Kidney Disease: A Silent Threat
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), which decreases the kidney’s ability to perform its vital functions of removing impurities from the blood and regulating blood pressure, presents a major, though largely unrecognized, health threat to Americans.

SPOTLIGHT

Given the high rate of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the United States, increasing awareness ranks among the most powerful tools to keep kidney disease from progressing to ESRD.
