🩸 SICKLE CELL FACT OF THE DAY: YOUR KIDNEYS MATTER!
🩸 SICKLE CELL FACT OF THE DAY: YOUR KIDNEYS MATTER! ❤️ Did you know that sickle cell disease can affect the kidneys? Your kidneys work every day to filter waste and extra fluid from your blood. In people living with sickle cell disease, changes in blood flow and other effects of the disease can damage the kidneys over time and affect how well they function. One possible early warning sign is protein in the urine—and kidney problems may begin before noticeable symptoms appear. That’s why routine monitoring is so important. ❤️ 🩸 Urine testing 🩸 Blood testing 🩸 Blood pressure monitoring 🩸 Regular medical checkups Talk with your healthcare provider about the kidney screening schedule that's appropriate for you. ❤️ KNOW YOUR KIDNEYS. KNOW YOUR HEALTH. KNOW SICKLE CELL. At Kier’s Hope Foundation, we believe education gives our warriors and families another tool to advocate for their health. Knowledge creates awareness. Awareness creates change. ❤️ Get involved. ❤️ Donate. ❤️ Spread the word. ❤️ Spread HOPE.
