Doctor Claims 35 Million Americans Have Undiagnosed Kidney Disease

What was said

"You can literally lose up to 90% of your kidney function and feel absolutely nothing. Right now, 35 million Americans have chronic kidney disease, and the great majority of them are not diagnosed. 80 to 90% of them don't even know yet because the kidneys have this incredible ability to compensate and adapt."

A medical practitioner with 30 years of clinical experience revealed that the vast majority of Americans with chronic kidney disease remain undiagnosed because kidneys can lose nearly all function without producing symptoms. He argued that relying on how patients feel is dangerously misleading, as kidney failure progresses silently until reaching critical stages.
