FAQ About Annual Physical Exam

What are the early signs of kidney disease?

Early signs are often silent. Fatigue, swelling, foamy urine, or uncontrolled high blood pressure can be indicators. CoreMed Plus recommends regular lab screening for early detection.

What is the difference between acute and chronic kidney disease?

Acute kidney injury happens suddenly and may be reversible. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops slowly over time and is usually long-term. CoreMed Plus manages both effectively.

How does diabetes or high blood pressure cause kidney disease?

Both conditions damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys over time. Tight control of blood sugar and blood pressure is the best protection — a key focus at CoreMed Plus.

Can kidney disease be reversed?

Early-stage kidney damage can often be slowed or partially improved with lifestyle changes and treatment. Advanced CKD is usually managed rather than fully reversed. CoreMed Plus helps at every stage.

What diet is best for kidney disease?

A kidney-friendly diet typically includes controlled sodium, protein, potassium, and phosphorus. Our team at CoreMed Plus creates personalized nutrition plans based on your kidney function.

How often should I get my kidney function checked?

It depends on your risk factors. People with diabetes, hypertension, or family history should be screened at least annually. CoreMed Plus will recommend the right schedule for you.

Dr. Mark Richter Bio

I grew up in Florida as the oldest of five sons. After earning my degree from the University of Florida, I pursued my medical education in the Dominican Republic. In 1988, I began my Family Practice Residency at the “old” Pontiac General Hospital. I have been providing medical care to the same community since 1991, first in Waterford and later at our current location in White Lake, where I continue to practice today. I take pride in being board certified by the American Academy of Family Physicians and remain committed to Primary Care. I am passionate about promoting a healthy lifestyle, including a proper “balanced” diet, exercise, exposure to healthy outdoor activities, and achieving work-life balance. I married my Medical School Sweetheart, Barbara, and we are fortunate to have two adult children and a granddaughter. We have been residents of Oakland County since 1988 and enjoy all that Michigan has to offer.
