National Kidney Foundation Releases Brochure for American Indians/Alaska Natives

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) has created a new educational brochure called "Diabetes and Kidney Disease: A Guide for American Indians and Alaska Natives." Written in question and answer format, the brochure provides information about the prevention, control, and treatment of both diseases.

One in every five American Indians and Alaska Natives has diabetes, which is the number one cause of kidney failure in the United States today. This high incidence of diabetes causes American Indians and Alaska Natives to develop kidney failure three times more often than whites, according to NKF.

For a free copy of "Diabetes and Kidney Disease: A Guide for American Indians and Alaska Natives," call NKF at 800-622-9010.
