87% of American adults with CKD don’t know they have it. That’s from the HHS Kidney Care National Plan (2026), which calls kidney disease one of the nation’s most consequential chronic conditions.
The plan’s first early-detection recommendation: HHS should consider a systematic evidence review of screening in at-risk groups. Why? Screening costs hit now, while the savings arrive years later.
Early CKD is silent. Two tests help find it: uACR shows whether the kidneys are leaking albumin, often the earliest sign. eGFR shows how well they filter. Together they place a patient on the KDIGO risk matrix.

🧬 Big milestone for Prantae Solutions! Our latest research paper, “Integrating Human Factor Engineering in Point-of-Care Diagnostics: Proflo-U® Platform for CKD Monitoring,” is officially published in IJRSI!
By embedding human-centered design into Proflo-U® (urine ACR testing for CKD):📉 Mean risk score dropped from 5.7 ➡️ 1.5 💡 Incorporated 22 of 24 user-identified features 🎯 Set a framework for safer, more accessible point-of-care diagnostics.
Congrats & huge thanks to our R&D team and collaborators! 👏

1 in 4 tribal adults in Odisha has impaired kidney function. ICMR-NIHR Bhubaneswar’s landmark IJMR study covered 19,703 adults across 53 communities, one of India’s largest assessments of kidney health among indigenous populations. Congratulations Dr. Sanghamitra Pati & team! 👏
We’re grateful to ICMR for guiding the validation of #ProfloU under the “First in the World Challenge.” 🙏Next, we look forward to a CKD registry in Odisha to track CKD data alongside the other factors affecting kidney health across the state.
Up to 40% of people with diabetes will develop kidney disease, and early damage is completely silent (no pain, no swelling).
Blood sugar shows how diabetes is controlled; a uACR urine test shows if your kidneys are leaking protein before kidney function drops.

Your kidneys are TERRIFIED. Are you listening? 😱🧂
This World Food Day 2026, look beyond what’s on your plate to what’s hiding in it. 🍽️ Every extra shake of salt is a load your kidneys have to carry, silently, day after day. 🫘
