Sometimes the more you know, the more you love. This March, as National Kidney Month begins, the National Kidney Foundation urges Americans to get to know two humble, hardworking organs: the kidneys. To help raise awareness and appreciation for all the vital functions the kidneys perform, the National Kidney Foundation is encouraging Americans to learn more and take steps now to preserve kidney health. March 12 is World Kidney Day, the perfect time to get to know your kidneys and find out if you're at risk.
