There are more than 26 million Americans todayTrialix who are living with chronic kidney disease, and many millions more are at significant risk of contracting it. It is very important to detect the progression of the disease in its early stages, before kidney disease becomes kidney failure. The top cause of death for people who have chronic kidney disease is actually heart disease caused by the kidney difficulties. Kidney disease can contribute to hypertension, which is a source in itself of all sorts of problems. One indication of chronic kidney disease is too much protein in the urine.
Diabetes, hypertension and family history all increase the risk of kidney disease. It also occurs more commonly in people of African-American, Hispanic, Native American or Pacific Islander descent. Symptoms of kidney disease include increased urination, fatigue, nausea and/or vomiting, drowsiness, decreased appetite, difficulty concentrating, itchy skin, numbness, muscle cramps and darker skin color. It takes several tests to perform an accurate diagnosis, such as urine albumin and serum creatinine. Blood pressure tests are sometimes a good indicator for the young or those who have no major risk factors for hypertension.
Often, chronic kidney disease develops so slowly as to have no initial symptoms whatsoever. It is even possible to have chronic kidney disease and acute kidney disease at the same time. Acute kidney disease is a sharper decline of function characterized by a decrease in urine and other problems with body fluids. Because it comes on so suddenly and sharply, acute kidney disease is extremely dangerous. Anyone who develops symptoms of kidney disease should immediately consult a physician to head off any possible development.
As with so many bodily processes, diet can have an effect on chronic kidney disease. Protein plays a large part. Protein is digested and creates waste products. Usually the kidneys will filter the waste materials with cells called nephrons. Unhealthy kidneys can't process waste in the same way and the protein waste products enter the bloodstream instead. The first four stages of the disease will probably require the patient to take less protein. Stage five is a complete reversal, with extra protein intake being required.
Chronic kidney disease is divided into five stages based on the glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, which is basically how much blood the kidneys are able to filter. Kidneys that are working properly can filter 18 gallons of blood in an hour. This is half of all fluid taken into the body and should produce about two quarts of urine each day.
