🎥 Dr. Ankush ( Tony) Gulati recently spoke to the Lee Health Residency Program about the importance of CKD education and early testing with UACR (Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio).

In this video, Dr. Gulati explains that UACR is not only a critical test for detecting kidney disease early 🩺 but also provides valuable insight into cardiovascular risk ❤️. Early detection enables clinicians to intervene sooner, thereby helping patients maintain optimal kidney and heart health.

At our SWFL centers, we are committed to educating healthcare providers and our community about proactive kidney care, ensuring patients get the tools and knowledge they need for healthier outcomes.
