Stay within your targets and lead a healthy lifestyle to maintain a healthy weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Kidneys are the unsung heroes of our bodies, working tirelessly to filter waste and maintain a delicate balance of minerals and nutrients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">You are always concerned about your heart health by checking cholesterol levels, but you do not get tested to check whether you are keeping your kidneys healthy. Most people do not know they have kidney disease because symptoms are typically not noticeable at early stages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The first step to prevent kidney disease like heart disease is to monitor your blood pressure and keep it within normal range.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause arteries around the kidneys to narrow, weaken or harden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">These damaged arteries cannot deliver enough blood to the kidney tissue. Damaged kidney arteries don&#8217;t filter blood well. Kidneys have tiny, finger-like nephrons that filter your blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the US. Severe high blood pressure can harm kidney function over a relatively short period. Even mild forms of high blood pressure can damage kidneys over several years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you are a diabetic or have a history in the family, it is advisable to check your fasting blood sugar level. If the fasting level is high, you must see your family doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">How do high sugar levels in the blood affect your kidneys? Each kidney is made up of millions of tiny filters called nephrons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Over time, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage blood vessels in the kidneys as well as nephrons, so they don&#8217;t work as well as they should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The expected fasting blood glucose concentration values are between 70 mg\/dL (3.9 mmol\/L) and<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">100 mg\/dL (5.6 mmol\/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">125 mg\/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol\/L), changes in lifestyle and monitoring glycemia is recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining healthy kidneys, and water is the best food for them. The kidneys depend on an adequate water supply to remove waste products, such as sodium, urea, and toxins, from the body and maintain the right balance of electrolytes. Failing to drink enough water can put extra pressure on the kidneys, leading to potential problems in the future. It&#8217;s about the amount of water consumed and its quality, so choosing clean and purified sources is crucial. The recommended daily water intake can vary depending on factors like age, activity level, and climate, but aiming for 8-10 glasses of water daily can help support kidney health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diet is the next essential item to maintain healthy kidneys. What can I eat or drink to improve kidney function?<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A plant-based diet is good for the overall health of all organs, including kidneys. Veggies like cauliflower, onions, eggplants and turnip are excellent kidney foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Other foods cleanse your kidneys, including Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple cider vinegar is effective in preventing oxidative stress in the kidneys. Other foods are kidney beans, lemon juice, watermelon, pomegranate and basil, cauliflower, onions, eggplant, and turnips.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What foods should people with diabetes avoid with kidney disease? Papaw is an excellent fruit for the kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The potassium present in the fruit is a huge supporter of kidney health. It cleans out the toxins deposited in the kidneys and reduces the accumulation of uric acid in the blood. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that is known to aid digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">According to the National Kidney Foundation, fruits that may benefit kidney health include pomegranates, avocados, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, apples, citrus fruits, papaws, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When you have diabetic kidneys, your kidneys can&#8217;t remove extra phosphorus from your blood very well. Too much phosphorus accumulation in your blood can weaken bones and damage your blood vessels, eyes, and heart. Meat, dairy, beans, nuts, whole-grain bread, and dark-coloured sodas are high in phosphorus. Phosphorus is also added to lots of packaged foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So far, we have discussed how to keep your kidneys healthy. Now, let\u2019s discuss how you can reverse kidney disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><strong>Is diabetic kidney disease treatable?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease) \u2013 when diagnosed early, the first step in treating diabetic nephropathy is to treat and control diabetes and high blood pressure. Treatment includes diet, lifestyle changes, exercise and prescription medicines. Controlling blood sugar and blood pressure might prevent or delay kidney issues and other complications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When you have diabetic kidneys, if not controlled, you may have the following symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">High blood pressure gets more challenging to control\u2014swelling of feet, ankles, hands or eyes\u2014foamy urine. Confusion or difficulty thinking. Shortness of breath. Loss of appetite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nausea and vomiting. Itching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The best tests to investigate the progress of kidney disease are a blood test known as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and a urine test known as the urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR)<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The standard way to estimate GFR is with a simple blood test measuring creatinine levels. Creatinine is a waste product from the digestion of dietary protein and the normal breakdown of muscle tissue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">eGFR is 90 in young people. As you grow old, it drops to about 60. When you have chronic kidney disease, the eGFR drops below 60.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In uncontrolled chronic kidney disease, the eGFR gradually can drop to 15, when dialysis may be required to remove urine from your blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, this would be the best test to check for declining kidney health. There are 8 Ways to Care for Your Kidneys<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Get tested for kidney disease. Many people don&#8217;t know they have kidney disease because symptoms are typically not noticeable at early stages.Monitor blood<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">pressure.

Limit OTC medication use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Use of herbal supplements is often unsafe if you have kidney disease since some herbal products can cause harm to your kidneys and even make your kidney disease worse. Also, your kidneys cannot precise waste products that can build up in your body. The herbal supplement market is a multi-million dollar business. So, be aware of this situation if you have chronic kidney disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, viewers, I hope this video article on kidney health will benefit you until we meet again.
