Research Updates in Kidney and Urologic Health
New Publication From NKUDIC
The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse (NKUDIC) is pleased to announce a new publication to help patients understand the relationship between hypertension and renal disease.
Although most people with high blood pressure have no symptoms, the condition is far from harmless. People need to understand how their blood pressure affects their kidneys. Every year, high blood pressure causes more than 15,000 new cases of end-stage renal disease in the United States. This fact sheet explains the basics of hypertension and how it can be controlled through diet, exercise, and medicines. Readers will learn the importance of having their blood pressure monitored to help keep their kidneys healthy.
Single copies of this fact sheet are available free of charge, and packages of 25 are $5. To order, use the online catalog or call NKUDIC at 1–800–891–5390.
Since NIDDK's health information materials are a public service and are not copyrighted, health care professionals are encouraged to duplicate the publications as handouts for their patients or as an insert for office or association newsletters.
