The kidneys are extraordinary organs.  The kidneys do their work silently and it is only when about 70% of the kidney function is lost that people have any symptoms.
 
There are many people in Canada who have chronic kidney disease (CKD).  However, most of them don’t know it so they aren’t able to take steps to protect their remaining kidney function.  If you have reduced kidney function and are in the early stages of CKD, this webinar should be helpful for you and your family.
 
By using the information in this webinar and working with your healthcare team, you will learn how to manage your kidney disease.  The webinar will have information about your kidneys and how they work, the stages of CKD, and steps that can help you to protect your remaining kidney function and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
