Kidney Sense
Empowering You on Your Kidney Health Journey
Kidney Sense helps current Balboa Nephrology patients better understand chronic kidney disease and take an active role in their care. Led by Cynthia Polis, RN, Renal Education Specialist, this welcoming class covers kidney function, laboratory results, medications, nutrition and treatment options.
- Demystify CKD: Learn about its impact, progression, and what to expect.
- Understand Your Labs & Medications: Discover how they work together to maintain your health.
- Master Dietary Management: Gain practical insights on potassium, phosphorus, protein, and low-sodium diets.
- Explore Treatment Options: Learn about available treatments and how to make informed decisions.
Understanding kidney disease can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to figure everything out at once. Kidney Sense gives you practical information, time to ask questions and guidance you can use in conversations with your healthcare team.
