The National Kidney Foundation of Hawaii has launched a new program for individuals as risk of or in the early stages of kidney disease called KAPP (Kidney Action Plan Program).
Participants will learn valuable self-management skills to delay the progression of kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension.
The objectives of KAPP are to improve self-management of kidney disease, diabetes and hypertension, and to promote a readiness to change lifestyle behaviors in individuals at risk, including those with Stages 2 and 3 kidney disease, through educational intervention. Specifically, the KAPP curriculum focuses on the following core areas of kidney disease self-management:
