EARLY DETECTION AND PREVENTION PROGRAMS

Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP®)

Early kidney disease has no symptoms. In fact, 1 in 9 Americans suffer from kidney disease and most don't even know it. If you have diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease, you are at risk. Come get a free health screening from the National Kidney Foundation as part of its Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP®).

KEEP provides three simple tests that determine kidney function. Participants receive a comprehensive health risk appraisal, blood pressure measurement, blood and urine testing and the opportunity to discuss their health and review results with onsite clinicians.

It is designed to raise awareness about kidney disease among high risk individuals and provide free testing and educational information, so that kidney disease and its complications can be prevented or delayed.

Kidney Health Risk Assessment (KHRA)

The Kidney Health Risk Assessment (KHRA) is a free public education tool that educates participants on the risk factors for chronic kidney disease. KHRAs are designed to take place at large health fairs and expos where hundreds can be served at a single event. A KHRA includes a blood pressure check, body mass calculation, a brief risk questionnaire and a consultation with an advanced health practitioner. Everyone identified with a risk factor is provided with information on upcoming KEEP screenings.

Upcoming KHRAs:

March 16-17, 2013
NBC4 Health & Fitness Expo
DC Convention Center
Washington DC

The Best Defense Against Kidney Disease is Early Detection

The Washington Redskins have teamed up with the National Kidney Foundation Serving the National Capital Area (NKF/NCA) to encourage area residents to get educated about risk factors for kidney disease and get three simple tests to determine your kidney function. Like many Americans, Redskins wide receiver Anthony Armstrong, linebacker Lorenzon Alexander and safety Reed Doughty have a personal connection to the cause.
