However, according to Sibu Kidney Foundation (SKF) chairman Temenggong Datuk Vincent Lau, many people do not know that their kidneys have failed until it is too late.

Speaking at the SKF Patient Day on Sunday, Lau said high blood pressure, diabetes and family history of kidney failure put people at an increased risk of developing kidney diseases.
