Your kidneys serve critical roles to maintain your health.
Your hard-working kidneys remove waste, regulate fluids, maintain blood pressure, and nurture the bones and red blood cells. But kidney disease develops subtly with minimal warning until it is severe.
On World Kidney Day: Mind Your Kidney Health
Let's talk about how vital it is that your kidneys are healthy and how Ajanta Hospital can assist you in making them so.
Why Your Kidneys Matter
Your kidneys get to do some really important things to keep your body in balance:
- Waste Removal: Your kidneys draw out the waste from your blood by filtering it through urine.
- Balance of Fluids: They regulate the level of water in your body to prevent dehydration or excess fluid.
- Blood Pressure Regulation: Kidneys ensure normal blood pressure by regulating sodium and producing hormones.
- Production of Red Blood Cells: They lead to the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow.
- Maintenance of Bones: They stimulate vitamin D, which is required to maintain bones strong.
Some of the Renal Problems to Be Aware Of
Kidney problems develop gradually in the background, and therefore, early detection is essential. Some of the frequent problems to be aware of include:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
- Kidney Stones
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
- Kidney Infections
- Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)
Symptoms Which Indicate That Your Kidneys Need Attention
Take note of the following symptoms:
- Increased urine output
- Blood in urine
- Foot or eyelid swelling
- Permanent fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Dry, itching skin
In case you experience any of the above, timely doctor's visit will prevent complications.
Keeping Your Kidneys Healthy
- Drink: It detoxifies wastes and lets your kidneys function as required. Take 8–10 glasses a day.
- Eat Healthy: Take kidney-friendly food such as berries, cauliflower, cabbage, and peppers. Reduce salt, packaged food, and high protein.
- Check Blood Pressure & Sugar: Uncontrolled blood pressure and diabetes are primary reasons for causing damage to kidneys. Get checked regularly.
- Regular Exercise: It assists in keeping weight in check, in keeping the blood pressure level in check, and assists in keeping normal kidney function.
- Proper Use of Painkillers: Abuse of NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen) is bad for your kidneys. Always take doctors' advice.
- Quit Smoking & Drink Moderately: Smoking reduces blood flow to kidneys, and excessive drinking places kidneys under undue strain.
- Regular Health Check-ups: Kidney disease is simpler to prevent if it is detected early.
