Temple University Hospital celebrated World Kidney Day with a health fair. Crystal Gadegbeku, chief of nephrology, says she’s thrilled for the opportunity to educate people about kidney disease and promote kidney donation. “You don’t feel anything (when you have kidney disease),” she explains. “You won’t know you have kidney disease until it’s way, way, way too late.” That’s why, she says, being screened through urinalysis and blood testing are crucial.
