Thinking about living kidney donation but worried about time off work or recovery? You’re not alone—and you deserve clear, practical answers.

This short video from the National Kidney Registry (NKR) breaks down:
✅ How much time you may need away from work
✅ What recovery can look like
✅ Resources that can help protect your job and support you through the process

If living donation is on your heart—now or someday—this is a helpful place to start. 💚

Today is National Caregivers Day, and we want to pause and say what doesn’t get said enough: we see you.

If you’re supporting a parent, spouse, partner, friend, or neighbor through kidney disease, you’re doing work that is deeply meaningful—and often deeply exhausting.

You manage appointments, medications, meals, and a thousand small moments of support that most people never witness. Please know this: your care matters, and it does not go unnoticed.

From all of us at Balboa Nephrology—thank you.

This Saturday, February 14, is National Organ Donor Day. 💚

Organ donation can mean more time, more milestones, and more moments for someone waiting. If you’re considering becoming a donor, a great first step is simply talking with your family about your wishes—and reviewing trusted information about donation and transplantation.

Flu season + kidney disease: reduce exposure 😷🌬️🧼

When respiratory viruses are circulating, small choices add up:

• Mask in crowded indoor spaces
• Skip close contact with friends/family who are sick
• Wash hands (and sanitize when you’re out)
• Ventilate gatherings (open windows/doors, outdoor when possible)

If you’re high-risk (transplant, immunosuppressed, dialysis, advanced CKD), these steps can make a real difference.
