- Chronic kidney disease now affects an estimated 788 million adults worldwide, roughly one in seven adults, making it one of the largest and fastest-growing chronic health challenges on the planet
- Most people with kidney disease are in the early stages and often have no obvious symptoms, allowing damage to progress silently for years before it’s discovered
- Kidney disease extends far beyond the kidneys themselves; impaired kidney function contributes to more than one in 10 cardiovascular deaths worldwide by increasing strain on the heart and blood vessels
- High fasting blood sugar, high blood pressure, and excess body weight were identified as leading contributors to kidney disease-related disability and premature death, highlighting the importance of metabolic health
- Taking action early by improving blood sugar control, supporting healthy blood pressure, eating potassium-rich whole foods, staying physically active, and monitoring kidney function offers the best opportunity to preserve kidney health long term
