“Your kidney test looks fine.”
But if your eGFR > 60 & you haven’t checked your uACR, you may miss early kidney damage.
If you’re of African ancestry, APOL1 variants can raise your risk for AMKD — even with “normal” labs.
Ask for uACR, your KDIGO Heat Map, & APOL1 testing.

Your kidneys might be at risk — even if your doctor says you're “fine.” 🧡 The KDIGO Heat Map combines eGFR + uACR to reveal your true risk. Ask for both tests, find your zone, and take control of your kidney health. Knowledge = power. 🗺️✨

A simple test can reveal your risk & help protect your kidneys.

Your Genes, Your Kidneys 🧬
Most African ancestry communities face a hidden risk: the APOL1 gene.
If you inherit two variants (G1/G2), your kidneys can fail — even if you feel fine and labs look “normal.”
Ask your doctor about APOL1 testing + uACR.
Knowledge = protection.

🚨 “Normal” kidney numbers can be misleading. 🚨
For millions of people of African ancestry, relying on eGFR alone can miss early signs of APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease (AMKD).
🔹 Ask for eGFR + uACR
🔹 Consider APOL1 testing
🔹 Early knowledge = better options
