March 2026: National Kidney Month – Know Your Numbers

Mar 1, 2026 | Journal

Kidney problems often develop quietly, so a quick check of your core kidney metrics can make a real difference.

The two numbers that matter

An estimated filtration rate (eGFR) shows how well your kidneys are clearing waste. A urine albumin‑to‑creatinine ratio (ACR) detects early strain or damage. Together, they provide a simple snapshot of kidney health.

Who benefits most

Adults with diabetes or high blood pressure, a family history of kidney disease, a history of kidney stones, frequent NSAID use, or age over sixty tend to benefit from periodic screening.

Everyday protection

Consistent hydration, lower sodium choices, steady activity, and keeping blood pressure and glucose in range all help preserve kidney function. If stones have been an issue, we can evaluate your risk and create a prevention plan.
