Black or African Americans are almost 4 times more likely to have kidney failure compared to White Americans.

​

Minority populations have much higher rates of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and heart disease, all of which increase the risk for kidney disease. Access to healthcare may also play a role. The key is to find kidney disease as early as possible and understand its risk factors before the trouble starts. That's why we created a family fun day to celebrate and educate!

By making small changes to your diet, exercise, and by increasing access, we can change the trajectory of kidney health for Black Americans.
