Kidney disease screening day at La Preste thermal baths

The figures speak for themselves: 7 to 10% of the French adult population have kidney disease, or nearly 3 million people. Renowned for metabolism and rheumatology, the thermal baths of La Preste (Chaîne thermale du Soleil) are also recognized for uro-nephrological pathologies, i.e. recurrent urinary infections (cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis), prostatic hypertrophies (not falling under surgery), as well as recurrent renal colic (except for surgical indications). Each year, more than 3,000 spa guests receive approved treatment and several hundred free treatment (without medical prescription) to treat conditions of the urinary system. This is why the thermal structure located at the top of Vallespir joins forces with the France reins Occitanie association and the Charles Mion-Aider santé foundation by offering Wednesday October 2, a kidney disease screening day.

Prevention

Around prevention/health workshops led by the dietician and the adapted physical activity (APA) teacher of the thermal baths (with the support of a student delegation in dietetics from Purple campus-CCI 66), screening will be offered by the multidisciplinary team from the Charles Mion-Aiding Health Foundation (nephrologist, nurse, dietician) with the participation of nursing students from the Mediterranean Nursing Training Institute of Perpignan. A meeting which promises to be rich in information and exchanges.
