Well-functioning kidneys remove waste and excess fluids from your blood, keep essential minerals in balance, help regulate blood pressure, and produce red blood cells and vitamin D. In other words, your kidneys make sure your body stays healthy and balanced.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now let\u2019s talk about what a glomerulus is. The kidney\u2019s filtering unit\u2019s glomerulus is a specialised bundle of capillaries uniquely situated between two resistance vessels. These capillaries are each contained within the Bowman&#8217;s capsule, and they are the only capillary beds in the body that are not surrounded by interstitial tissue. Your kidneys filter your blood by removing waste and extra water to make urine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) shows how well the kidneys filter. An estimated 37 million adults in the United States may have chronic kidney disease (CKD), but nearly 90% are unaware of their condition. When found early, people can take the necessary steps to protect their kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In Sri Lanka alone, around 150,000 people have been affected by CKD\/CKDu, with CKDu primarily in rural communities that have historically used groundwater as The function of the glomerulus is to filter the blood. their predominant drinking water source. A recent IWMI study finds that women may be more at risk of contracting the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, this is an important test every adult should get done yearly\u2014especially for those who have diabetes, where chronic kidney disease is high. Test your urine for albumin to have a complete picture of your overall kidney health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Is eGFR based on creatinine level in the blood?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Your eGFR is a measure of how well your kidneys are working. It is estimated based on your creatinine level, age, race, and whether you are a man or a woman. Chronic kidney disease, or CKD, has five stages based on eGFR. Healthy eGFR declines with age, even in people without kidney disease.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Most of these studies have been cross-sectional and have relatively uniformly shown that the GFR declines steadily with ageing, beginning at age 30\u201340 years, with an apparent acceleration in the rate of decline after period 65\u201370 years. people have an eGFR of 90 or higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Why does my eGFR keep going down?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you eat well and exercise but do not maintain healthy blood sugar or blood pressure levels, your GFR may decline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This reveals the importance of checking your blood pressure regularly and keeping it at the normal range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Although a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in older adults has been attributed to physiologic ageing, it may be associated with kidney disease The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is variable, and it relies on a blood test, which may have day-to-day variations, and it is an &#8220;estimation&#8221;. Hence, the more times you do the test, the more accurate the estimate will be. It can depend on the food that you eat. For instance, if you eat a large animal meat diet just before the test, the lab test will be a poorer estimate of the true eGFR.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>What is creatinine?<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Creatinine is a chemical compound left over from energy-producing processes in your muscles. Creatinine exits your body as a waste product in urine. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Most of the creatinine found in the body is a form of creatine, a natural chemical. Kidneys help maintain and filter out creatinine levels in the body. People following diets with high red meat or other protein sources, including dairy products, may have higher creatinine levels than people who eat fewer of those foods. If you eat lots of red meat, switch to more vegetable-based dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Usually, a creatinine level of more than 1.2 for women and more than 1.4 for men may indicate that the kidneys are not working as they should. If your serum creatinine test results are higher than average, your doctor may want to run other tests. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR).Now, how can you keep your kidneys healthy?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Don\u2019t Overdo Certain Medications<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">NSAIDs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen and naproxen. They can damage your kidneys if you take too many at once or take them too often. And using proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for an ulcer or GERD for a long time can raise your chances of chronic kidney disease. You should only take them if your doctor says you need them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Take Care With Antibiotics<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These bacteria-fighting drugs can damage your kidneys if you use them too often. It can happen even if you\u2019re perfectly healthy, though it\u2019s more severe if your kidneys don\u2019t work as well as they should. Some types, like penicillin, sulfonamides, and cephalosporins, are more likely to cause problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Skip Herbal Supplements<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Supplement makers don\u2019t have to prove their products are safe; some can damage your kidneys. Those can be especially harmful if you have kidney disease because they can worsen the condition or affect how some medicines work. Talk with your doctor before trying any herbal supplement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eat Healthily<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A healthy diet has lots of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and a few processed foods. Your kidneys process everything you eat or drink, including anything terrible for you, like lots of fat, salt, and sugar. Over time, a bad diet can lead to high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and other challenging kidney conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Watch Your Salt<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This mineral affects people in different ways. For some, it raises the amount of protein in their urine. That can harm your kidneys or worsen kidney disease if you already have it. Lots of salt also raises your chances of high blood pressure, a typical cause of kidney disease, and kidney stones, which can be very painful and possibly cause damage without treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Drink Enough Water<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Water helps get essential nutrients to your kidneys and moves waste to your bladder in urine. If you don\u2019t drink enough, the tiny filters inside your kidneys can get stopped and lead to kidney stones and infections. Even mild dehydration can damage your kidneys if it happens often enough. Four to six cups a day is typically about right, but you might need more if you\u2019re sick or out in the heat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This presentation emphasises the importance of preserving your kidney functions by performing regular eGFR on a blood sample, especially if you have diabetes.
