This is truly an honor.”
The problem:

- Asymptomatic: Usually silent, ~ 90% of patients are unaware they have kidney disease.
- Costly: Over $40B is spent annually on diabetes-driven kidney disease in the US.
- The Solution: Early identification drives improved clinical and financial outcomes. One in three people with diabetes develops kidney disease.
