After clinching gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, gymnast Suni Lee faced significant health challenges, being diagnosed with two forms of kidney disease.

This #WellnessWednesday, we're focusing on the link between diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease. These two conditions are the primary causes of chronic kidney disease in our patients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 3 adults with diabetes and 1 in 5 adults with high blood pressure are at risk of developing kidney disease. Are you at risk for kidney disease? Early diagnosis can slow down or stop further damage.
