Dear John ,

Your heart and kidneys are closely connected, yet many people don't realize it. For those with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or other CKD risk factors, a simple, guideline-recommended uACR screening (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio) can detect albumin (a protein), a potentially modifiable sign of kidney damage and elevated risk for cardiovascular events like a heart attack or stroke. Albumin in the urine (albuminuria) may also be detectable at early stages of chronic kidney disease.

Don't miss the signal. That’s why we’ve joined Boehringer Ingelheim and other partners on a mission to Detect the SOS.

For more information, including a discussion guide to help navigate the conversation with your doctor, visit DetectTheSOS.com.

Keep an eye out! A Detect the SOS commercial will be featured during the Super Bowl, helping raise nationwide awareness about the connection between kidney health and heart health. We’re proud to see this message reach millions.
