If blood pressure (BP) and diabetes are kept under control, 75% of dialysis and transplants can be prevented. Managing these conditions can significantly reduce the risk of kidney damage, which is a common cause of needing dialysis or a transplant. Additionally, controlling BP and diabetes helps prevent complications related to heart disease, as 30% of heart disease cases are directly related to these two factors. Early intervention and consistent management of BP and blood sugar levels are key to reducing the incidence of both kidney and heart problems.
