A very talented comedian, Kyle Grooms, and friend of George Lopez is in the hospital. He is in Miami Memorial Regional Hospital where he is to have surgery on Thursday, March 14th 2019 to remove a brain tumor. We will know more when the brain tumor is removed, but for now, he is resting in preparations for the surgery. This was unexpected and as of a month ago Kyle ended his insurance. Click here to donate to support him through this very difficult time. He’s an amazing person and a great comic.
Join us in the Fight Against Kidney Disease During National Kidney Month
Your kidney can fail due to build up of waste in the body, damage to the kidneys, anemia as well as build up of fluid in the body. Symptoms can include anything from nausea and vomiting, blood in the urine, fatigue to swelling in the face, feet or hands. To determine if the symptoms you have are because of kidney failure, have your doctor perform these specific tests:
Urinalysis – check for protein, blood and white blood cells in the urine.
Blood tests – test creatinine and BUN, waste products that healthy kidneys remove from the bloodstream.
Make a contribution today and help us raise awareness about the importance of maintaining healthy kidneys!
