Kidney Early Evaluation Program

media release: The National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin will offer a free kidney screening through its KEEP Healthy program.

WHY: 1 IN 3 American adults is at risk for developing chronic kidney disease. Those at risk include anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, a family history of kidney failure, and individuals over age 60. All KEEP Healthy participants will answer a brief health-risk survey and have their height, weight and blood pressure measured. At-risk individuals will have their kidney health checked through a simple, onsite urine test. The ACR test can identify protein in the urine, which is often the first sign of kidney disease. Free educational materials will be provided, and a medical professional will review results and answer questions from participants.

WHERE: Spring Green Community Center, 117 S Washington St, Spring Green, WI 53588

WHEN: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM on Saturday, April 20, 2024
