Fathers, especially if you have high blood pressure or diabetes, ask your doctor about two kidney tests.
The first is eGFR. That’s a blood test that estimates how well your kidneys filter.
The second is uACR. That’s a urine test that checks for protein leakage.
Kidney disease can be silent early, so don’t wait for symptoms.
Ask: “What is my eGFR, and do I need a urine albumin test?”
Know your kidney numbers.
