More than 1 in 7, that is 15% of US adults or 37 million people, are estimated to have CKD.
As many as 9 in 10 adults with CKD do not know they have CKD, and bout 2 in 5 adults with severe CKD do not know they have CKD.
If you have CKD, meet with a dietician to create a kidney-healthy eating plan. The plan may need to change as you get older or if your health status changes.
