Knowing the cause of kidney disease is important to help support treatment and lifestyle decisions, guide family planning and protect the overall health of the person living with kidney disease. Up to 15% of people with kidney disease do not know the cause of their disease and ~1 in 10 people with kidney disease have a genetic diagnosis. Thank you, Suni and American Kidney Fund for helping raise awareness. 👏
The American Kidney Fund is thrilled to announce our partnership with reigning All-Around Gymnastics Champion Suni Lee for our Know Your Kidneys initiative. Suni made an incredible comeback in her gymnastics career after her kidney disease diagnosis, and will compete in Paris later this month! In her partnership with AKF, she will share her kidney disease experience and promote the #KnowYourCause pathway of our #KnowYourKidneys program, sharing resources that can help those seeking a diagnosis.
