A little while ago, we asked:

The answer is… TRUE! ✅

Most people are born with two kidneys. However, some people are born with one kidney, and others may live with one functioning kidney after donation or surgery.

The important takeaway? You can live a healthy life with one functioning kidney, but protecting your kidney health remains important.

☀️ Kidney Summer Checklist: Family Kidney Health

Kidney health starts with awareness and sometimes with conversations that may not be easy to have.
Some families and communities don’t often talk about medical history or health issues. But knowing your family’s health background can help you understand your risk for kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other conditions that affect kidney health.

This week’s checklist:
☐ Learn your family health history
☐ Talk about kidney disease risk factors
☐ Encourage loved ones to get screened
☐ Share kidney health information

💚 We know that not everyone has access to their biological family or full family medical history. If you don’t know your family history, you can still take proactive steps to protect your health. Talk to your healthcare provider about your own risk factors, get regular health checkups, and ask if kidney function tests are right for you. Learning what you can and acting on that knowledge can really make a difference.

☀️ Kidney Summer Checklist: Rest & Reduce Stress

Taking care of your kidneys also means taking care of your overall well-being. Chronic stress and poor sleep can affect your health, so making time to rest and recharge is an important part of a healthy lifestyle.

This week, remember to:

✅ Prioritize quality sleep
✅ Practice deep breathing
✅ Take breaks when needed
✅ Make time for activities that restore you

💚 Your wellness matters. Rest is not just about slowing down—it’s about giving your mind and body the opportunity to recharge.

What helps you relax and restore your energy?

August is National Minority Donor Awareness Month. This month highlights organ donation and transplantation in communities of color, encourages people to register as donors, and promotes healthy living to help reduce the need for transplants.

- Over half of the people waiting for organ transplants are from communities of color.
- A kidney from a living donor usually lasts about 15 to 20 years, while one from a deceased donor lasts 8 to 12 years. Some last longer, and some may not last as long.

✅ Are you at risk of diabetes?
✅ Have you tested your kidney function?
Taking charge of your health begins with knowing your numbers.
