Carmen [kidney] Health and World Kidney Day

SAN ANTONIO, March 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carmen [kidney] Health joins World Kidney Day to spread the importance of kidney awareness globally! Carmen promotes Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) prevention by launching a screening test via our website that evaluates risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other diseases that could increase someone's risk of being diagnosed with CKD. The purpose of this test is to invite everyone to get involved in having a full routine medical checkup. Carmen is determined to transform kidney health by preventing, detecting, and treating CKD. This strategy aims to reduce the knowledge gap by explaining all the ABCs of a kidney; what a kidney is, how our kidneys work, why are kidneys important, and what you can do to have better kidney health.

Who is and what is Carmen's objective?
Carmen Medina, our founder's nanny, died from a very treatable condition, notwithstanding years of visiting specialists who only addressed her symptoms. That's why our objective is to help individuals live healthier, happier, and more productively no matter their level of [kidney] function. Carmen Care was born because CKD represents an excessive burden in death, disability and healthcare spending worldwide. There is a global scarcity of nephrologists, highly trained kidney subspecialists, relative to the number of patients with advanced CKD.  Often nephrologists' interventions, particularly dialysis therapy, can be considered "too little, too late" for the majority of patients who are unaware that they have CKD and do not have a timely intervention by a nephrologist or specialized provider.

The Human story behind Carmen Health -  Andres Gutierrez- founder & CEO
Since 2011, our focus has been on providing "patient well-being" through accessible, effective, and dignified care. Each patient interaction is an opportunity for us to provide an exceptional experience, with the enormous responsibility of caring for human life. We are humbled by the thousands of patients who place their trust in us, day in, day out. Beyond the technology enabling us, our hundreds of dedicated health professionals are what make us unique. We've operationalized our vision to transform [kidney] HEALTH into ultimately helping people live healthier, happier, and more productive lives, irrespective of their particular kidney function.

Our dream is to one day eradicate chronic kidney disease. But, today, if we can prevent someone from falling down the slippery slope of kidney failure, we know we've succeeded.

If the patient is well, all is swell.
