Test Your Kidney IQ

How much do you really know about your kidneys and their role in maintaining overall health? In a recent survey, fifty percent of respondents were unaware of the kidney's most basic function -- filtering 200 liters of blood every single day to maintain balance and health in the body.

See how you do. Click here to take the interactive online kidney quiz http://www.kidney.org/kidneyDisease/kidneyQuiz.cfm

After the quiz, you can order a FREE copy of the 20-page brochure "Are You at Increased Risk for Chronic Kidney Disease?" We'll send it to you via e-mail or regular mail in English or Spanish. You'll also be eligible to win an autographed copy of the new book Glamour Interrupted, How I Became the Best-Dressed Patient in Hollywood by fashion guru, Steven Cojocaru. (from the NKF.)

I was looking for stuff on the local kidney walk just yesterday and did this quiz...I only missed one. Didn't order the brochure, though, I figure I KNOW I'm at risk for CKD!  :rofl;

I thought it was hysterical to offer ME a brochure on CKD!

That was the one I got wrong (see I've learned a lot since I started on here!) - if that's the US figure what ever must it be for the world? - That's frightening.

I had missed the one about where they're located. The choices weren't terribly clear to me, and it's not something I ever bothered to learn...I knew they were in the lower back somewhere (I guess I was more confused about where the lungs are!).

I missed #10, as well.  However, I probably would have missed many more if I wasn't on this site so much.  Seriously, I've learned alot from you all.  Thanks!

Got them all right - but only because I read some of the posts on here first.  I would have missed the 26 mil as well, otherwise, unless I guessed really well.

Well, here's a shocker.... :sarcasm;

I didn't miss any questions!   That's what 28 yrs gets ya!  :rofl;

I did order the brochure, I figured I could pass it onto someone else!  Maybe help someone else learn how to prevent CKD.
