Kidney disease is often ‘silent’, causing few symptoms, especially in the early stages. If left unchecked the disease can progress or lead to kidney failure. It can severely impact on quality of life and ultimately can cost lives. Very often it comes along with other health threatening conditions, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

If kidney disease is detected early, appropriate treatment can delay or even stop chronic kidney disease. It is easy to detect early signs of kidney problems by using simple tests performed by your GP.
