   Participants will be contacted by the Nebraska Kidney Association with results of the tests.

   The free health screening program is called the Kidney Early Detection Screening (K-EDS) and is offered free by the Nebraska Kidney Association primarily for individuals at increased risk of developing kidney disease.
