A Resource About Kidneys and Kidney Disease ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The National Kidney Foundation and its 52 nationwide Affiliates have declared this March as "National Kidney Month". With 20 million Americans already afflicted with kidney or urinary tract disease, and millions of others at risk, the goals of the National Kidney Foundation to present public information programs that help educate individuals about early warning signs of kidney disease and prevention tips for high risk groups, are most important. As part of this year's program, they have responded to my request for a special offering to my readers by providing a most informative booklet. It is called "What Everyone Should Know About Kidneys and Kidney Disease". It is 16 pages in length and extremely well illustrated, so that the information is easy to understand. You can obtain your free copy of this booklet by sending your request along with a stamped, self addressed, business size envelope to: The National Kidney Foundation, Box Family Doctor, 30 East 33rd Street, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10016. I am sure that many of the questions you might have about the kidney and its diseases can be answered by this booklet's contents. ---------------- The material contained here is "FOR INFORMATION ONLY" and should not replace the counsel and advice of your personal physician. Promptly consulting your doctor is the best path to a quick and successful resolution of any medical problem.
