Did You Know?
Hawaii's kidney failure rate is 30% higher than the national average.
More people die each year of Kidney Disease than Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer combined. Diabetes and Hypertension are the two greatest contributors to kidney disease. Chances are good that you know someone with kidney disease or are even afflicted yourself. Whether or not you decide to donate your birthday, please read about the early warning signs of kidney failure and ask for a free kidney screening. Knowing the early warning signs just might help prevent kidney failure in your life or the life of someone you love.

About the National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii
The National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii (NKFH) is the state's leading voluntary health agency dedicated to the detection, prevention and treatment of kidney and urinary tract diseases. As an advocacy group the National Kidney Foundation helped shape legislation that allows Medicare to cover the majority costs of dialysis of the medical costs of kidney transplants. Prior to this legislation in the 1960s, many people did not survive after their kidneys failed.
