More than 26 million Americans, or one in nine adults, have Chronic Kidney Disease – and many of these people do not know it. What’s more, an additional 20 million others are at increased risk, meaning they have an above average chance of developing the disease.

Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition that damages your kidneys and their ability to maintain your body’s health. It’s called “a silent killer” because,
quite often, it is not detected until it is in its advanced stages, or right before kidney failure.
