Kidney failure: free and anonymous screening at La Casamance

Anonymous and free screening for kidney disease at Hôpital Privé La Casamance, Tuesday 7 March 2017 from 10am to 4pm

Once again this year, the Fédération Nationale d'Aide aux Insuffisants Rénaux (FNAIR), the Centre d'Hémodialyse de Provence (CHP) Aubagne and Hôpital Privé La Casamance, are renewing their partnership to take part in the ^12th National Kidney Week.

Kidney disease is an insidious disease: 1 in 20 French people have kidney disease and are unaware of it. The earlier the disease is detected, the better the chances of delaying its progression.

Free, anonymous screening will be organised in the lobby of Hôpital Privé La Casamance on Tuesday 7 March 2017 from 10am to 4pm. The screening will be carried out using urine strips. All you have to do is go to the toilet, then a nurse will take your blood pressure and the nephrologist will explain the results. FNAIR volunteers will also be setting up an information stand on kidney disease in the hospital lobby.
