Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a deadly ailment that can attack you anytime and take your life. So, you need to detect the disease at the right time to stay away from end-stage renal disease(ESRD), which is usually 90% loss of kidney function. Once you identify it, the only solution is permanent kidney dialysis or the kidney transplant. You need to be aware of the causes and symptoms of CKD for curing it.
What Causes CKD?
Hypertension, glomerulonephritis and nephropathy are the most common causes of CKD. 75% of cases of CKD are caused due to these factors.
Signs of CKD
The symptoms of CKD are quite similar to other diseases like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and flu. Feet swelling, weakness, tiredness, nausea, difficulties in sleeping and concentrating are some of the signs. You may suffer from accelerated atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disorder and increased bone loss,i.e., loss of phosphorus and calcium, when CKD reaches the critical stage.
If you are suffering from both chronic kidney disorder and cardiovascular disorder, you are likely to bear more difficulties than a cardiovascular disease patient.
Risk Factors of CKD
Diabetes, polycystic kidney disease (PKD) and blood pressure are the risk factors of CKD. If you have a family member or relative with CKD, you may get attacked by the disease.
How to Prevent CKD
Education and self-vigilance are crucial for controling CKD. Early detection is mandatory to avoid kidney disease. Go for a blood test or urinalysis regularly to reduce your triglyceride and cholesterol levels, as triglycerides are a fat that makes kidney mobility more complicated. Renal specialists can test your kidneys and suggest alternative treatments to keep your kidneys healthy.
