- A Resource About National Kidney Month
-

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The month of March has been declared National Kidney Month and this year
- the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) wants us all to understand the important
- roles the kidney plays in our health. The basic function of these two
- precious organs is to filter blood to remove waste products, and regulate
- blood pressure. But of course there is much more to the story of our kidneys,
- one which most certainly is of interest to everyone. Part of that story is
- told in a new booklet entitled "Your Kidneys, Master Chemist of the Body"
- obtainable from your local NKF Affiliate (check your community directory for
- an address) or by requesting it directly from the National Kidney Foundation,
- 2 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016. (Please enclose a stamped, self addressed
- envelope.) And here's another tip. The NKF has 38 brochures covering all
- aspects of kidney disease, kidney failure, urinary tract infections, organ
- transplants and many others. Single copies of any of these booklets are also
- available, free of charge, so request their publication list as well, so that
- you can appreciate the scope and work of this fine organization. The
- information contained in these booklets is of unsurpassed quality, and is well
- worth your efforts to obtain them. Tell them Dr. Bruckheim sent you, it may
- hasten the processing of your request.
