Damaged\u00a0 kidney arteries don&#8217;t filter blood well. Kidneys have tiny, finger-like nephrons that\u00a0 filter your blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Uncontrolled high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the\u00a0 US. Severe high blood pressure can harm kidney function over a relatively short\u00a0 period. Even mild forms of high blood pressure can damage kidneys over several\u00a0 years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If you are a diabetic or have a history in the family, it is advisable to check your\u00a0 fasting blood sugar level. If the fasting level is high, you must see your family\u00a0 doctor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">How do high sugar levels in the blood affect your kidneys? Each kidney is made up\u00a0 of millions of tiny filters called nephrons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; 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\u00a0 should. Many people with diabetes also develop high blood pressure, which can damage kidneys too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The expected fasting blood glucose concentration values are between 70 mg\/dL (3.9 mmol\/L) and\u00a0 100 mg\/dL (5.6 mmol\/L). When fasting blood glucose is between 100 to 125 mg\/dL (5.6 to 6.9 mmol\/L), changes in lifestyle and monitoring\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">glycemia is recommended.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining healthy kidneys, and water is the best\u00a0 food for them. The kidneys depend on an adequate water supply to remove waste\u00a0 products, such as sodium, urea, and toxins, from the body and maintain the right\u00a0 balance of electrolytes. Failing to drink enough water can put extra pressure on the\u00a0 kidneys, leading to potential problems in the future. It&#8217;s about the amount of water\u00a0 consumed and its quality, so choosing clean and purified sources is crucial. The\u00a0 recommended daily water intake can vary depending on factors like age, activity\u00a0 level, and climate, but aiming for 8-10 glasses of water daily can help support kidney\u00a0 health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diet is the next essential item to maintain healthy kidneys.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What can I eat or drink to improve kidney function?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A plant-based diet is good for the overall health of all organs, including kidneys.\u00a0 Veggies like cauliflower, onions, eggplants and turnip are excellent kidney foods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Other foods cleanse your kidneys, including Apple Cider Vinegar. Apple cider vinegar\u00a0 is effective in preventing oxidative stress in the kidneys. Other foods are kidney\u00a0 beans, lemon juice, watermelon, pomegranate and basil, cauliflower, onions,\u00a0 eggplant, and turnips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">What foods should people with diabetes avoid with kidney disease? Papaw is an excellent fruit for the kidneys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The potassium present in the fruit is a huge supporter of kidney health. It cleans out\u00a0 the toxins deposited in the kidneys and reduces the accumulation of uric acid in the\u00a0 blood. Papaya contains an enzyme called papain that is known to aid digestion. According to the National Kidney Foundation, fruits that may benefit kidney health\u00a0 include pomegranates, avocados, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, apples, citrus\u00a0 fruits, papaws, etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When you have diabetic kidneys, your kidneys can&#8217;t remove extra phosphorus from\u00a0 your blood very well. Too much phosphorus accumulation in your blood can weaken\u00a0 bones and damage your blood vessels, eyes, and heart. Meat, dairy, beans, nuts,\u00a0 whole-grain bread, and dark-coloured sodas are high in phosphorus. Phosphorus is\u00a0 also added to lots of packaged foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So far, we have discussed how to keep your kidneys healthy. Now, let\u2019s discuss how\u00a0 you can reverse kidney disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Is diabetic kidney disease treatable?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease) \u2013 when diagnosed early, the first step in\u00a0 treating diabetic nephropathy is to treat and control diabetes and high blood\u00a0 pressure. Treatment includes diet, lifestyle changes, exercise and prescription\u00a0 medicines. Controlling blood sugar and blood pressure might prevent or delay kidney\u00a0 issues and other complications.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When you have diabetic kidneys, if not controlled, you may have the following\u00a0 symptoms:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">High blood pressure gets more challenging to control\u2014swelling of feet, ankles,\u00a0 hands or eyes\u2014foamy urine. Confusion or difficulty thinking. Shortness of breath.\u00a0 Loss of appetite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nausea and vomiting. Itching.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The best tests to investigate the progress of kidney disease are a blood test known\u00a0 as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and a urine test known as the\u00a0 urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The standard way to estimate GFR is with a simple blood test measuring creatinine\u00a0 levels. Creatinine is a waste product from the digestion of dietary protein and the\u00a0 normal breakdown of muscle tissue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; 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. In uncontrolled chronic kidney disease, the eGFR gradually can drop to 15, when\u00a0 dialysis may be required to remove urine from your blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, this would be the best test to check for declining kidney health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are 8 Ways to Care for Your Kidneys\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Get tested for kidney disease. Many people don&#8217;t know they have kidney disease\u00a0 because symptoms are typically not noticeable at early stages. &#8230;Monitor blood\u00a0 pressure. &#8230;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Exercise regularly. &#8230;Manage blood sugar. &#8230;Eat a balanced diet. &#8230;Stay well\u00a0 hydrated. &#8230;Stop smoking. &#8230;Limit OTC medication use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Use of herbal supplements is often unsafe if you have kidney disease since some\u00a0 herbal products can cause harm to your kidneys and even make your kidney disease\u00a0 worse. Also, your kidneys cannot precise waste products that can build up in your\u00a0 body. The herbal supplement market is a multi-million dollar business. So, be aware\u00a0 of this situation if you have chronic kidney disease.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, viewers, I hope this video article on kidney health will benefit you until we meet\u00a0 again.
