Anyone at any time can be faced with a silent-killer disease regardless of age, preexisting health conditions, or educational background. We make lifestyle choices every day, and some of our choices can lead us down a path of destruction-no pun intended. Silent killers are diseases that produce few or no symptoms and are fatal if not treated. Examples are heart disease, hypertension, kidney disease, obesity, type 2 diabetes, some cancers, and chronic stress, just to name a few. In this book, we will focus mainly on the causes, prevention, and treatment of kidney disease and why regular health screenings are essential. Learn how to be more aware of what might be hurting your kidneys and discover what to do about it. Take heed now, recognize your risks, and don't fall victim.
