Don’t Stress Yourself, Its Time to Focus On Kidney Too....

Its estimated more than 37 million American adults have CKD.  CKD, causes more deaths than prostate cancer or breast cancer. 90% don’t even realise that they have CKD. CKD is more common in women than men.The very basic work of the kidney is that it acts as filters of your bloodstream. When the blood passes through kidneys nephrons filers out the waste products. It removes all the waste products exit your body in the form of urine. Kidneys failure happens when your kidneys are no longer able to filter your blood properly. This imbalance interferes with other systems in the body by potentially causing anaemia and proteinemia while waste products continue to build up.

How to reduce risk of KIDNEY FAILURE??

Try to understand when your taking medication, especially when you do a counter medication. Taking doses that are too high (common drugs like aspirin) create high toxin levels in a short amount of time. This can overload your kidneys. Most of the time kidney or urinary tract conditions lead to kidney failure if not properly taken care and managed. You can help reduce your risk for kidney failure by:

•             Strictly following your doctor’s advice.

•             following healthy lifestyle style modification.

•             Proper treatment for common causes such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

•             Start improving your overall level of fitness when you get older.
