Blood vs. Urine Tests: Your Detection Toolkit

You might think, “These are just normal aches—why bother?” But research shows early intervention halves progression risk. Start with hydration—aim for half your weight in ounces daily. Cut sodium under 2,300 mg. Add berries for antioxidants that may shield filters. Schedule that annual check if you’re over 45 or at risk. Remember Unaiza’s story?
