Did you know that kidney failure can strike without any symptoms?
By the time symptoms of kidney disease are felt, people may be close to kidney failure. Kidney disease can be a "silent disease".
According to Kidney Health Australia, up to 3 in every 4 Australians may be at risk of kidney disease/failure.
Risk factors for kidney failure include:
diabetes
high blood pressure/other heart disease
smoking
overweight/obesity
family history
If detected early, kidney function deterioration can be reduced and kidney failure delayed.
