Kidney disease is a major risk factor for heart disease, both of which are among the top ten causes of death for Canadians. During Kidney Health Month (March), The Kidney Foundation of Canada is reminding the public that addressing kidney disease early is one way of having a positive impact on helping to reduce cardiovascular disease.
Paul Shay, National Executive Director of The Kidney Foundation of Canada, notes: “People should have their blood pressure checked. There is no cure for kidney disease, but early detection can help reverse or delay disease progression.”
“The sooner we can detect the presence of kidney problems, the sooner we can treat them to prevent the bad consequences kidney disease can have,” says Nephrologist Dr. Jean-Francois Cailhier.
