From Leonid Kim MD.
Nearly 9 out of 10 people in the US with chronic kidney disease don’t even know they have it. Which is not good since, when it comes to kidney disease, the earlier you catch it, the better the outcomes. In this video, we go over 10 signs that may point to a problem with the kidneys, which may help some people catch the problem early and potentially fix the underlying cause and prevent further damage.
