สุขภาพไตของคุณปกติหรือไม่

สิ่งที่คุณอาจไม่รู้เกี่ยวกับโรคไต:

ทั่วโลกมีผู้เป็นโรคไตในรูปแบบใดรูปแบบหนึ่งมากกว่า 850 ล้านคน¹²

โรคเบาหวานและความดันโลหิตสูงเป็นสองสาเหตุหลักของโรคไต¹³

โรคไตมักไม่แสดงอาการจนกว่าเป็นมากจึงจะแสดงอาการ ดังนั้นจึงควรรับการตรวจแต่เนิ่น ๆ¹⁴

การรักษาแต่เนิ่นๆ สามารถชะลอโรคไตได้³

นอกจากนี้ การชะลอโรคไต อาจป้องกันปัญหาสุขภาพอื่น ๆ เช่น หัวใจวาย โรคหลอดเลือดสมอง หรือไตวายได้^3,11

โรคไตยังทำให้คุณมีความเสี่ยงเพิ่มขึ้นต่อภาวะแทรกซ้อนจากโควิด-19 ที่เป็นอันตรายต่อชีวิตอีกด้วย และเป็นสาเหตุของการเสียชีวิต¹⁵
