| At a recent health fair in Langley Park, Maryland, we screened more than 100 people for kidney disease. |
The links at left will give you information about our upcoming kidney disease screenings in the Atlanta, Chicago, New York City, and Washington, D.C., metropolitan regions.
The American Kidney Fund provides these screenings through our MIKE® program. MIKE® stands for Minority Intervention and Kidney Education. This program's mission is to reduce the high rate of kidney failure in minority communities. MIKE® partners with public and private organizations, including government agencies, community and faith-based organizations to provide education, screenings and follow-up services for people who are most at risk for kidney disease.
A full MIKE® screening checks not only kidney function, but also cholesterol levels, blood pressure, blood sugar, and other important health measures. Learn more about what you can expect at a MIKE® screening.
Since 2004, the American Kidney Fund's MIKE® program has provided free screenings to more than 16,000 individuals. Of those, about 25% have found to be at high risk for kidney disease.
