National Kidney Month – Day 19

Did you know that protein in your urine can be a warning sign of kidney disease?

Healthy kidneys keep protein in your blood. When the kidneys are damaged, protein can leak into the urine, a condition known as proteinuria.

Protein in the urine is often linked to conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure and may be one of the earliest signs of kidney damage.

Regular testing can help detect this early and allow for treatment to slow or prevent further kidney damage.

If you’ve been told you have protein in your urine, it’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider.

National Kidney Month – Day 18

Did you know that kidney stones can often be prevented with simple lifestyle habits?

Drinking enough water helps flush out minerals that can form stones. Diet also plays an important role—high sodium intake and poor eating habits can increase your risk.

Staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help reduce the chances of developing kidney stones.

Prevention is key when it comes to protecting your kidneys.

Kidney Month – Day 17

Did you know your kidneys act as your body’s natural filtration system?

Every day, your kidneys filter waste products, toxins, and extra fluid from your blood. These wastes are then removed from the body through urine.

When kidneys are not working properly, waste can begin to build up in the body, which can lead to serious health problems.

Healthy kidneys play a vital role in keeping your body clean and balanced.

National Kidney Month – Day 16

Did you know your kidneys help your body produce red blood cells?

Healthy kidneys release a hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) that signals your bone marrow to make red blood cells. These cells carry oxygen throughout your body.

When kidney function declines, the body may produce fewer red blood cells, which can lead to anemia, causing symptoms like fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.

This is one of the many ways kidney health impacts your entire body.

Kidney Month – Day 15

Did you know your kidneys play an important role in keeping your bones healthy?

Healthy kidneys help balance important minerals like calcium and phosphorus in the body. They also activate vitamin D, which helps your body absorb calcium to keep bones strong.

When kidney function declines, these minerals can become unbalanced, which may lead to bone weakness or bone disease.

Taking care of your kidneys helps protect many parts of your body—including your bones.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life.

National Kidney Month – Day 14

Did you know that staying hydrated helps keep your kidneys healthy?

Your kidneys rely on adequate fluid intake to help filter waste and toxins from your blood and remove them through urine.

When your body becomes dehydrated, it can place extra strain on your kidneys and may increase the risk of kidney stones, infections, and kidney damage.

For most people, aiming for about 6–8 glasses of water per day can help support healthy kidney function—unless your healthcare provider recommends a different fluid intake.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life.

National Kidney Month – Day 13

Did you know that simple blood and urine tests can help check your kidney health?

Healthcare providers often use blood tests to measure creatinine, which helps estimate how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.

Urine tests can check for protein (albumin) in the urine, which may be an early sign of kidney damage.

These tests are quick, simple, and can help detect kidney disease before serious symptoms appear.

If you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease, regular kidney screenings are especially important.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life.

National Kidney Month – Day 12

Did you know that too much sodium (salt) can harm your kidneys?

A diet high in sodium can raise your blood pressure, which puts extra strain on your kidneys and may increase the risk of kidney disease over time.

Many processed foods, fast foods, and restaurant meals contain large amounts of hidden sodium.

Reducing sodium intake by choosing fresh foods, cooking at home, and reading nutrition labels can help protect your kidneys and support overall health.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life.

03/11/2026

National Kidney Month – Day 11

Did you know that chronic kidney disease (CKD) often has no early symptoms?

In the early stages, many people with kidney disease feel completely normal. Because symptoms may not appear until the disease has progressed, kidney problems can go undetected for years.

This is why regular kidney screenings are so important, especially if you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.

Simple blood and urine tests can help detect kidney disease early and allow for treatment that may slow its progression.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life

03/10/2026

Kidney Month – Day 10

Did you know that some medications can affect your kidney health?

Your kidneys help filter medications and toxins from your blood. However, taking certain medications in high doses or for long periods of time can place stress on the kidneys.

Common over-the-counter medications such as NSAIDs (like ibuprofen and naproxen) can be harmful to kidney function when used frequently or improperly.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and talk with your doctor or pharmacist about medications that may impact your kidneys.

Protect your kidneys. Protect your life.
