DETV’s Every Woman | Her Perspective | Know Your Kidneys: Filtering the Facts
🎙️ Her Perspective: Her Health – Kidney Health & Awareness 🩺
March is National Kidney Month, and we’re bringing you a must-watch episode of Her Perspective on DETV’s Every Woman Network!
Hosted by Dr. Velma Scantlebury, the first Black female transplant surgeon in the U.S., this episode sheds light on kidney disease—a silent epidemic affecting 35 million people. Did you know:
🔹 90% of those with chronic kidney disease don’t even know they have it?
🔹 Diabetes & hypertension are leading causes of kidney disease.
🔹 Black Americans are nearly 4x more likely to develop kidney failure than white Americans.
🔹 Women are actually more likely than men to suffer from chronic kidney disease.
It’s time to change the narrative, raise awareness, and take control of our health! Join Dr. Scantlebury and an expert panel as they share critical insights and personal experiences.
