Did You Know?…
Did You Know…when the tiny filters in your kidneys are damaged, they allow a protein called albumin to escape from your blood into your urine. Treating this problem early can help prevent it from escalating.
If you need assistance, schedule a consultation with Gulf Coast Kidney Associates today.
Take NOTE!
TAKE NOTE! Blood in your urine can be a sign that something is wrong with your kidneys or another part of your urinary tract.
Having blood in your urine does not necessarily mean that you have kidney disease, but because kidney problems can lead to kidney disease, it is important to address the problem as soon as possible.
