What is Chronic Kidney Disease
Also abbreviated as CKD, having Chronic Kidney Disease means that your kidneys can’t filter your blood like they should. It’s a disease that progresses over the years, so it’s called chronic.
What causes kidney disease
Well, diabetes and high blood pressure, in most of the cases. High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes cause about 7 cases of kidney disease out of every 10. The other 3 cases are caused by glomerular disease, which is the inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filters in your kidneys, polycystic kidney disease, which is a hereditary disease, by type 1 diabetes and tumors.
What are the symptoms of kidney disease
Ok, I can get why this is one of the most googled questions about kidney disease.
People are really worried about the symptoms #kidneypatient #kidneysymptoms
What we need to know about kidney disease is that when the kidneys are not working there's gonna be a buildup of waste and fluid in the body, because the kidneys cannot remove all these scores anymore, right?
This condition is called uremia, it’s easy to remember this name because it means urine in the blood. The wastes that the kidneys are supposed to remove trough the urine are now in the blood, and this is what causes most of the symptoms of #kidneydamage
What you’re going to see most frequently is swelling of the feet, face and hands. Again, there’s too much fluid in the body and this should go somewhere, if it can’t exit trough the urine, right?
Now, the fluid can even accumulate in the soft tissue inside the lungs and the patient may have trouble breathing.
Another symptom all this excess of fluid can cause is ammonia breath.
It can happen that this symptom is so noticeable that people get diagnosed just because of it. I mean, you can smell kidney problems in the breath of people, sometimes. #kidneyproblem
Can kidney problems cause back pain?
Yes, both kidney damage and kidney stones can cause pain in the kidney area, often called back pain.
Remember that the kidneys are inside the rib cage, higher than people think, so if your lower back hurts… it’s probably a problem with your muscles or spine.
Can kidney damage be reversed?
For sure it can be reversed, especially if it’s not caused by chronic kidney disease. As I was saying before, it’s a lot harder to undo the damages of chronic kidney disease, but the symptoms and complications can still be treated.
What foods help repair kidneys? #kidneyfoods
There are many foods that can help you… that’s basically what I talk about the most here on 00Kidney, so remember to subscribe and tap the notification bell, if you still haven’t.
Mostly you will want to follow a plant-based diet, because that’s where all the nutrients your kidneys need are.
Now, kidney patients can have hard times finding healthy foods good for kidney to add to their diets, some veggies have too much phosphorus, some other have potassium… it’s always hard to find foods good for the kidneys.
So also watch my other videos because they’re full of healthy foods you can add to your diet.
