A little while ago Mike was at the doctor's office doing a routine checkup. During his visit he told the doctor that he was feeling tired and had some pain in his kidneys but that he wasn't worried about this. What the doctor said next turned his world upside down. Not only was something wrong, he had just been diagnosed with renal disease. Mike had no clue that symptoms chronic kidney disease causes and the symptoms he was experiencing were connected. Here's what Mike doesn't know about chronic kidney disease: How Kidneys Work The kidneys work quietly behind the scenes to keep our bodies healthy. Below are the main functions of the kidney: -Filtering waste from the blood such as by products from chemicals or medications that we take. - Our kidneys produce an enzyme that helps to regulate our blood pressure.. - Kidneys regulate the various salt levels in our body. - They help in the growth of healthy bones especially in kids by producing vitamin D. - They are a key element in the production of erythropoietin which triggers the production of red blood cells. Causes of Renal failure CKD is a condition where either one or both of the kidneys don't function at 100% for at least 3 months. The disease is caused by a number of factors, but the 2 most common are high blood pressure and diabetes. Some of the other causes may be: - Hereditary - Kidney stones. - Urinary tract infections - Inflammation in the kidneys - Long term use of drugs. Symptoms and diagnosis of kidney failure Renal failure is also known as the silent killer because it develops slowly over a very long time. Common symptoms include frequent and painful urination; the urine has foam and traces of blood, pain in the ankles and the eye area, tiredness, nausea, problems with breathing, vomiting, and pain in the kidney areas. There are 6 ways to diagnose renal failure: <strong>Creatinine Clearance</strong> <strong>Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)</strong> <strong>Urinalysis</strong> <strong>Blood Urea Nitrogen Test</strong> <strong>Computed Axial Tomography (CAT)</strong> <strong>Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)</strong> There are some life adjustments that Mike will have to make in the short term, however just because he's been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease doesn't mean his life is over, in fact this condition is quite treatable. With the rise of eastern and natural medicines on the rise there are numerous ways to control and even reverse the effects of this condition.
