En España, uno de cada siete adultos convive con una enfermedad renal crónica que avanza en silencio, sin síntomas, hasta que el daño ya es profundo. Los especialistas en nefrología señalan que esta invisibilidad no es inevitable: análisis de sangre y orina, sencillos y asequibles, pueden revelar el deterioro renal y el riesgo cardiovascular antes de que el cuerpo emita señal alguna. La propuesta es tan modesta como urgente —una revisión anual a partir de los 40 años— y sin embargo podría cambiar el destino de millones de personas que hoy desconocen que sus riñones están fallando.
