Kidney Health

When your kidneys are damaged, they can no longer remove waste from your body. Monitoring your kidney health can help improve your kidneys.

Our kidney health program is part of our chronic condition management program. We want to help you understand kidney disease and learn how to live well with it.

Testing, monitoring and making simple lifestyle changes can make a difference in your quality of life.

By following your treatment plan, there’s a lot you can do to live well. You can manage your condition and work with your doctor to:

• Create a personal action plan (PDF)
• Use medicines correctly
• Eat healthy foods and monitor your fluid intake
• Get a flu shot every year
• Quit smoking
