What can be done to promote awareness for Kidney Disease Prevention?

Did you know that a lot of people have 1st and 2nd stage Kidney Disease and do NOT even KNOW it? It can be caused by high blood pressure which a LOT of people have or Diabetics can easily end up with Kidney Disease!!

There is so much in the media about Cancer and Aids but not a lot at all about Kidney Disease!

So in YOUR oppinion, how can more awareness be spread? What can be done to inform people that testing creatinine levels (not to be confused with Creatine which is completely different) is very important and knowing what your blood pressure is and eating right? Some people are even born with only 1 kidney and don't even KNOW it!

How much do YOU know about YOUR kidney??

To Andy O: I use Google all the time. This is more to see how aware OTHER people are than just looking for research on Google.

Take a look!
