 I'm Thelma and I had kidney disease for years and didn't know it. I'm Dr. Vega. Adults with type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure can unknowingly have kidney disease since symptoms don't usually present until later stages. If you're at a higher risk like me, it's important to advocate for yourself. Don't be afraid to talk to your doctor. It takes two to help detect and manage kidney disease. Partner with your doctor and ask about complete kidney disease screening, including the urine test, UACR. Work with your doctor to get a full picture of your kidney health.
