March 2025: Spring Into Action—Focus on Kidney Health

Mar 1, 2025 | Journal

As we welcome the first signs of spring, March brings an important reminder: it’s National Kidney Month. At Urology Associates, we’re using this time to raise awareness about kidney health and encourage our community to take proactive steps toward prevention and early detection.

🧬 Why Kidney Health Matters

Your kidneys filter about 50 gallons of blood every single day. They help regulate blood pressure, balance electrolytes, and remove waste from the body. When they’re not functioning properly, it can lead to serious health issues like:

  • Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
  • Kidney stones
  • High blood pressure
  • Urinary tract infections

🚨 Know the Risk Factors

You may be at higher risk for kidney problems if you:

  • Have diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Have a family history of kidney disease
  • Are over age 60
  • Smoke or use NSAIDs frequently

If any of these apply to you, it’s a good idea to schedule a kidney health screening.

💧 Healthy Kidneys Start with Healthy Habits

Here are a few simple ways to support your kidneys:

  • Stay hydrated with water—not sugary drinks
  • Eat a balanced diet low in sodium and processed foods
  • Exercise regularly
  • Avoid smoking and limit alcohol
  • Get regular check-ups, especially if you have risk factors

🏥 How We Can Help
