Can kidney problems be reversed if caught early?
Stages 1–3 often improve dramatically with lifestyle changes and medication. Stage 4 and 5 are harder, but progression can still be slowed significantly.
How often should I get my kidneys checked?
Anyone with high blood pressure, diabetes, family history, or over age 60 should have annual blood and urine tests. Everyone else: at least every 3–5 years after age 40.
