PROMOTING
PREVENTION&nbsp;AND DETECTION<span style="font-size: 6.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: black; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><o:p></o:p>

<p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">This year, World Kidney Day continues
to raise awareness of the increasing burden of kidney diseases worldwide and
calls for kidney health for everyone, everywhere. Specifically, the World
Kidney Day initiative highlights the importance of preventive interventions
that can avert the onset and progression of kidney disease1.<o:p></o:p>

<p style="overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Kidney disease can be prevented
and progression to end-stage kidney disease can be delayed with appropriate
access to basic diagnostics and early treatment. With point-of-care testing, primary
healthcare providers can do just that — in minutes.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<p style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">EARLY CHECK-UPS CAN
AVERT THE ONSET AND PROGRESSION OF KIDNEY DISEASE1<o:p></o:p>

<p style="overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Kidney disease is one of the most
serious complications of diabetes. When your kidneys are damaged by diabetes
and/or high blood pressure, they’re less able to work effectively.<o:p></o:p>

Association (ADA) recommends annual screening — especially with at-risk
patients. Global studies point to obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia
and smoking as the biggest risk factors.2&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

<p style="overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Identifying renal disease early —
and monitoring it consistently — can make all the difference.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

RAPID DIAGNOSTICS CAN HELP WITH KIDNEY DISEASE
PREVENTION<o:p></o:p>

By combining immediate treatment with
the necessary lifestyle changes — such as maintaining blood glucose, blood
pressure and cholesterol levels — many people with diabetes are able to delay
the onset of complications — or prevent them altogether.3
