Regular checkups with your healthcare provider are essential for monitoring kidney function and detecting any potential issues early. Early detection and intervention can help prevent or delay the progression of kidney disease. Be sure to discuss your kidney health with your healthcare provider during your routine appointments.

Your healthcare provider may recommend specific tests to assess kidney function, such as blood tests to measure your glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or a urine test to check for proteinuria (excess protein in the urine). These tests can help identify any kidney problems and inform appropriate treatment strategies.
