Being diagnosed with kidney disease can be a very trying and difficult time for everyone involved-the patient, family and friends. But information can go a long way towards helping gain control of the situation. A patient who knows what’s coming up, what to watch out for and what treatment options are available if his kidneys are failing, can make educated decisions about his own healthcare. To increase awareness of kidney diseases related health issues and educate the audience about steps to be taken to keep kidneys healthy, BAPS Charities organized a health lecture on this topic on August 26, 2012 at over 50 centers in North America.
