Did you know that kidney disease can affect your heart, brain, eyes, skin, muscles, digestion and more? That’s because kidney failure impacts nearly every organ system in the body. #takechargeofyourhealth #kidneyfacts #nationalkidneymonth

Did you know your kidneys have a higher blood flow than your brain, liver or heart? Your kidneys filter about 180 liters (50 gallons) of blood daily.
Here's to Dr. Eugene Lin for providing awesome #kidneyfacts to help us celebrate #NationalKidneyMonth!

January was rough. Our thoughts are with our beloved LA community as we grieve the huge loss brought on by the many wildfires in our area. The air disasters of the last few days have compounded this pain. Even in these difficult times, our fight against kidney disease goes on.

New study in @plosglobalpublichealth.org reveals major gaps in kidney care for vulnerable groups: children have less access to KRT, refugees face barriers in low-income countries, and testing in the elderly remains low worldwide. Urgent action is needed!

In the past year, Dr. Zhongwei Li achieved a breakthrough step in the development of the synthetic kidney—engineering a plumbing system, which is essential for its function. We're very proud to support this life-saving work @keck.usc.edu
