If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, this page is for you
3 simple tests tell you how your kidneys are doing, before you feel anything. Book them at a discount at a lab near you or at home.
1 · What happens in silence
Each kidney has about a million tiny filters that clean your blood around the clock.
High blood sugar and high blood pressure strain these filters for years.
The first sign: a little albumin leaks into the urine. No pain, no swelling, no feeling at all; only a test shows it.
If nobody notices, the filters are lost one after another, and kidney function falls.
Symptoms show up late, sometimes after the kidneys have lost most of their work.
The good news: early on, getting sugar and blood pressure under control protects the kidneys, and sometimes the albumin goes back to normal.
2 · Not a rare case
22
22 have diabetes.
14
14 of them don’t know they have it.
About 7
And about 7 of the 22 have kidney damage, most of them without knowing.
1 in 5
And in the 100 Million Healthy Lives initiative, 1 in every 5 people screened had high blood pressure.
Millions are walking among us while the clock runs, and the test that catches it is one lab visit.

3 · The cost
Dialysis: 3 sessions a week, 4 hours each. That is 12 hours every week for life, on top of the commute, the fatigue and the lost workday.
156dialysis sessions a year
The check-up: one lab visit a year, a blood sample and a urine sample.
1lab visit a year
A year of dialysis: about 70,000 pounds for the sessions alone (Ministry of Health, 2022). The Itmann check-up: 650 EGP at the member price.
85%
of what medicine costs in Egypt is paid out of people’s pockets
1.5%
is all of health spending that goes to prevention
The rest is spent after people get sick.
The honest truth: Checking early can raise your costs in the first year (tests, maybe medicine). The big savings come later, and when they come, they are big.

Before you go
No fasting for the basic package. Give the urine sample first thing in the morning. Avoid hard exercise the day before, and postpone the test if you have a fever, a urinary infection or your period.
Kidney function (eGFR) is calculated from your creatinine, age and sex. It isn’t a separate test, and you don’t pay extra for it.
Member prices need a membership: 300 EGP a year, for you and 4 of your family.

The goal
That's the dream. And these are the numbers we'll hold ourselves to, in front of you.
Egyptian adults have diabetes, and 62% of them don't know it. They'll be 24.7 million by 2050.

“Expected early detections” = about 1 in 8 people who get checked (and 1 in 7 among people with diabetes): people whose kidneys have started to be affected, confirmed by a second test, and still at an early stage. This is an estimate from international research, not an Egyptian figure, and we will replace it with our real numbers after the first 1,000 checks.
You may pay a little more: tests, and maybe a new medicine. We lighten it with the discount.
Complications drop. Every 1% lower HbA1c is linked to about 37% fewer eye and kidney complications, and every 10 mmHg lower blood pressure to about 20% fewer strokes and heart attacks.
Money moves from dialysis and hospitals to tests and on-time medicine. 64 thousand dialysis patients cost about 4.5 billion pounds a year in sessions alone.

No, not for the basic package or HbA1c. The complete package includes a lipid profile: [the lab confirms whether fasting is needed].
Morning is best, with the urine sample first thing after you wake up. Avoid hard exercise the day before, and postpone if you have a fever, a urinary infection or your period.
[Within X hours], and they reach you in the app and on WhatsApp.
[300 EGP a year, for you and 4 of your family].
You. Nobody else, unless you allow it.
A regular urine test can miss the small amount of albumin that shows up early. The albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) test catches it.
Keep going with them. Your discounts apply to visits and tests.
No. It helps you understand your numbers; the doctor is the one who diagnoses.
