According to the National Kidney Foundation, the KEEP screening is for those at increased risk of developing kidney disease, such as individuals over the age of 18 with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of kidney disease.

During the KEEP screening, participants will have their weight and blood pressure checked. Additionally, medical professionals will collect blood and urine samples. A family practice physician will be on-site to review results with participants.
