Professor Anthony Meyers - Specialist Nephrologist and Chairman of the
National Kidney Foundation of South Africa joined us on the line to tell us more about kidney disease
and commemorating Kidney Awareness Week which was last week. The campaign is
aimed at raising awareness about kidneys and, more importantly, ways to reduce
the risk of kidney disease. According to medical experts, kidney disease is
often ‘silent’, having few symptoms especially in the early stages. If left
unchecked, the disease can progress or lead to kidney failure. If detected
early, appropriate treatment can help delay or even prevent end-stage kidney
failure. Professor
Meyers explained
more. Remember to have your kidneys checked regularly, especially if you are at
‘high risk’. For more information
