33% of adults in the United States are at risk for kidney disease. That’s 1 in every 3 people. To shed light on the prevalence of this disease and the percentage of people who might be at risk, we are asking people, “Are You in the 33%?” through the National Kidney Foundation’s Kidney Risk Campaign™. Knowledge is power. Early detection can help successfully treat kidney disease.
