Thanks to Salvatore G Viscomi, MD for the shoutout in his latest column for Forbes. As he notes, #CKD is an immediate, and growing, global crisis. More than 850 million people in the world have CKD, yet up to 90% are unaware that they do. We completely agree that increasing access and providing sustainable, scalable screening options are critical to addressing the CKD challenge. https://lnkd.in/ejqZ8PXW

Today is #WorldHypertensionDay, the aim of which is to raise awareness and promote high blood pressure prevention, detection and control. High blood pressure is considered a “silent killer” as there are no obvious symptoms and is a major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). According to a 2023 report from the American Heart Association, nearly half of all Americans (more than 122 million people) aged 20 and up have it - and most don’t know that they do. As the theme for World Hypertension Day says, "Measure Your Blood Pressure Accurately, Control It, Live Longer."
