It is heartbreaking enough to be told you are suffering from a disease.
Added to that, is the fact that it would slowly drain your life away if you do not replace an organ of yours - namely the kidney - as soon as possible.
To cap it all, it will cost you millions to live and you barely have thousands.
What can you do?
That is the typical scenario for someone diagnosed with end stage renal disease, where quality of life can only be assured with a kidney transplant.
There is the will to live but your bank account says no.
Please prevent kidney failure by doing the following:
1. Keep fit and active.
2. Control your blood sugar level
3. Monitor your blood pressure
4. Reduce your salt intake
5. Do not smoke
6. Eat healthy and keep your weight in check
7. Do not take over the counter pills on a regular basis
8. Check your kidney function if you have one or more of the "high risk" factors listed below
9. See your doctor immediately you notice anything unusual
10. Do a urinalysis today
Are your kidneys OK?
