The National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Early Evaluation Program is designed to identify those at risk for kidney disease. Screenings, which include a questionnaire, blood pressure check and urinalysis, are conducted in cooperation with schools, churches, community centers and employers throughout the four-state area. Many ethnic groups, including African Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders and Native Americans are at greater risk for developing kidney disease. We make a special effort to reach such individuals through churches, health centers and recreation centers based in those communities.

If you are 18 years or older and have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of kidney disease, you should attend one of the free health screenings in your area. KEEP is funded through an educational grant from Ortho Biotech Laboratory support is provided by Satellite Healthcare.
