The most common type of kidney disease is chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is a gradual loss of kidney function that can eventually lead to kidney failure. Kidney failure is a life-threatening condition that requires dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.
There are a number of things you can do to help keep your kidneys healthy and prevent CKD, including:
- Eat a healthy diet. A healthy diet is low in sodium, saturated fat, and cholesterol. It is also high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Get regular exercise. Regular exercise helps to lower blood pressure and improve kidney function.
- Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing CKD.
- Don't smoke. Smoking damages the blood vessels in your kidneys and can lead to CKD.
- Limit alcohol intake. Drinking too much alcohol can damage your kidneys.
- Get regular checkups. Your doctor can check your kidney function and screen for CKD.
If you have any of the following symptoms, you should see your doctor right away:
- Swelling in your hands, feet, or ankles
- Foamy urine
- Frequent urination
- Pain in your back or side
- Nausea and vomiting
- Loss of appetite
- Fatigue
If you are diagnosed with CKD, your doctor will work with you to develop a treatment plan that may include:
- Medications to lower blood pressure and cholesterol
- A low-sodium diet
- Regular exercise
- Dialysis or a kidney transplant
Following your doctor's treatment plan can help to slow the progression of CKD and prevent kidney failure.
Your kidneys are vital organs that play a key role in your overall health. By following the tips in this article, you can help to keep your kidneys healthy and free from disease.
