Did you know that 1 in 3 adults is at risk for kidney disease because of diabetes or high blood pressure? Beyond that, 1 in 7 adults has kidney disease, but most don't know it! That's why March is National Kidney Month and March 14 is World Kidney Day. Joining us to discuss the National Kidney Foundation of Wisconsin's mission of preventing kidney disease, and improving the health of individuals and families affected by it, are Mary Pat Rick from the Kidney Foundation and Karen Isaacson, a renal dietitian and living kidney donor.
