WHY Get Screened?

• To find if you are at risk for kidney disease
• To learn more about kidney disease, especially if you are at "high risk"
• To receive free testing if you are at increased risk for kidney disease
• To be more informed so you can discuss any risk factors you may have with your doctor and discuss a treatment plan
• To prevent or delay kidney damage if you are at risk

TESTS AVAILABLE

• Blood pressure, height, weight and waist measurements
• Blood and urine tests for signs of diabetes and kidney disease including:
  • Blood glucose check (blood sugar)
  • Hemoglobin check (blood test for anemia)
    *Hemoglobin A1c will be conducted on participants who have self-reported diabetes or elevated blood sugars
  • Urine dipstick test for microalbumin (protein in urine)
  • Serum creatinine (measures how well kidneys are filtering blood)
  • Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (test for kidney function)

ONE in NINE....

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin cares about the health of each and every person in Wisconsin. That's why it is working hard to in communities throughout our state to promote the early identification and treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Because chronic kidney disease is 'silent', most adults may not be aware they are at-risk. People with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of diabetes, high blood pressure or kidney disease are at-risk. Those who are African Americans, Hispanic, American Indian or Pacific Islanders are even at a higher risk to develop chronic kidney disease.

The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin recommends that every adult have "3 Simple Tests":

• Urinalysis (to check for protein or other abnormality)
• Blood pressure measurement
• Blood test to measure kidney function

The early detection and treatment of chronic kidney disease may delay or prevent its progression and lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease.
