If someone you care about has been diagnosed with early chronic kidney disease, it’s normal to feel unsure about what that really means — especially when they seem to feel fine.

One helpful place to start is understanding how the heart and kidneys work together. These systems are closely connected, and early kidney care often focuses on monitoring, communication, and realistic daily routines — not sudden or overwhelming changes.

We’ve shared an educational article written for patients and caregivers in Fort Worth and the DFW area that explains what’s commonly monitored, why it matters, and how families can feel more confident supporting kidney health.

High blood pressure and kidney disease are often mentioned together—but they are not the same thing.

Many people in Fort Worth and across the DFW area ask us:
👉 “Does having high blood pressure mean I have kidney disease?”

The short answer is no.

But the connection between blood pressure and kidney health does matter—and understanding it can help protect your health long term.

The challenge?

Early kidney disease often has no obvious symptoms, which is why simple blood and urine tests are so important for people managing high blood pressure.

We’ve put together a clear, patient-friendly guide that explains:
• The difference between high blood pressure and kidney disease
• How they affect each other
• What tests actually give answers
• When it may help to see a kidney specialist

If you or a loved one has high blood pressure, this information can bring clarity and peace of mind.
