February is National Heart Month in the U.S., a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and its close connection to kidney health.
People living with heart disease are at a higher risk of developing chronic kidney disease, often without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Because of this, awareness and early detection play an important role in long-term health outcomes.
As conversations around prevention and early diagnosis continue, we continue to support initiatives that addresses cardiovascular health in patients with chronic kidney disease by focusing on a rollout of outpatient hemodiafiltration in the United States, promoting cardioprotective dialysis treatment prescriptions, advanced fluid management technologies, frequent home hemodialysis, and personalized care. This approach aims to reduce cardiovascular events by controlling blood pressure, reducing fluid overload, and managing chronic inflammation.
During National Kidney Month in the U.S., and in the lead-up to World Kidney Day, Fresenius Medical Care will also be offering kidney health screenings at select FME locations worldwide for employees and families, increasing the understanding of individual risk factors and the importance of early monitoring.
Protecting kidney health starts with awareness, prevention, and access to care – and we can all play a role in supporting long-term heart and kidney health.
