What is kidney disease?
Kidney disease is a condition that affects the kidneys, which are two bean-shaped organs located on either side of your spine. The kidneys filter waste products from your blood and produce urine. When your kidneys are damaged, they can't filter waste products as well, which can lead to a buildup of toxins in your blood. This can cause a variety of health problems, including:
- High blood pressure
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Anemia
- Bone disease
- Kidney failure
What are the different types of kidney disease?
There are two main types of kidney disease: acute kidney disease and chronic kidney disease.
- Acute kidney disease is a sudden loss of kidney function. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including dehydration, infection, and certain medications.
- Chronic kidney disease is a gradual loss of kidney function over time. It is usually caused by a long-term condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
The symptoms of kidney disease can vary depending on the stage of the disease. In the early stages, you may not have any symptoms. As the disease progresses, you may experience:
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Nausea and vomiting
- Swelling in your hands, feet, and face
- High blood pressure
- Frequent urination
- Dark or cloudy urine
How is kidney disease diagnosed?
Kidney disease is diagnosed with a blood test and a urine test. The blood test will measure the levels of creatinine and urea in your blood. Creatinine is a waste product that is produced by your muscles. Urea is a waste product that is produced by your liver. High levels of creatinine and urea in your blood can indicate that your kidneys are not functioning properly.
The urine test will measure the levels of protein and glucose in your urine. Protein and glucose in your urine can indicate that your kidneys are damaged.
How is kidney disease treated?
The treatment for kidney disease will depend on the stage of the disease. In the early stages, treatment may include:
- Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, and losing weight
- Medications to lower blood pressure and cholesterol
- Dialysis, which is a procedure that filters waste products from your blood
In the later stages of kidney disease, treatment may include:
- Kidney transplant
- Palliative care, which is a type of care that focuses on improving your quality of life
How can I prevent kidney disease?
There are a number of things you can do to prevent kidney disease, including:
- Eating a healthy diet
- Getting regular exercise
- Losing weight if you are overweight or obese
- Managing your blood pressure and cholesterol
- Avoiding smoking
- Limiting your alcohol intake
