Tip 9: Get Regular Check-ups
Routine check-ups with your healthcare provider are crucial for early detection and management of kidney problems. During these appointments, your doctor can assess your kidney function, monitor your blood pressure, and evaluate your risk factors for CKD.

By catching potential issues early, you can take the necessary steps to protect your kidneys and prevent the progression of CKD. (8)
