Chronic Renal Disease

What are some functions of our kidneys in our body?

This is the typical view of the blood vessels (vasculature) and urine flow pattern in the kidney.

Healthy kidneys eliminate remainder products in our blood, this remainder products soon leaves in our body together with out urine. Kidneys also help in regulating the arterial pressure and help to manufacture red blood cells.

What is chronic renal disease?

The kidneys are responsible for removing wastes from the body.

Unhealthy kidneys or defective kidneys can't eliminate wasted products in our blood. This failure of kidneys to function well is called Chronic Renal Disease or ERC in some other medical term. Believe it or not, there are almost 20 million people alone in the United States have this kind of disease.

One common factor of causing this ERC is lifted arterial pressure, diabetesand disease of the heart. This is one of the most common health problem complications of the people nowadays. Chronic Renal Disease can evolve in renal inadequacy, but the precocious medication can decelerate the figure of this disease or prevented. The ERC (chronic renal disease) can be caused also by urinary infections and blockades

Recipient of this ERC

Anybody can have risk if its family have a history of this disease (hereditary), diabetes or suffers of high arterial pressure. Consult your doctor right away and ask about risk factors for further prevention on other health problem complications - consulting your physician earlier are much better and have great chances of recovering.

Symptoms of chronic renal disease (ERC)

Most likely symptoms on this disease are undetectable in the first place. Once it progresses, the following manifestations should be reckoned with;
• Unexplainable fatigue
• Weakness and loss of appetite
• Sleepiness nights
• Could not be to think clearly and properly
• Feet and ankle swelling

How doctors could tell if you have ERC?

There are two basic steps your doctors can tell if you have ERC or suspected to have it.
@ Protein test in the urine
@ Cretinine test - this is from the remainder products that have in the blood

How to prevent and decelerate the problem?

Doctors will speak to the patient on how to handle and manage well the problem that caused the kidney damage - by lowering down the pressure of the arterial if it is high enough. It can be useful also by taking medicines inhibiting of the convertidora enzyme of angiotensin,( ACE ) and the blocking of the receivers for angiotensin. The medicines could reduce the anterial pressure and prevents renal disease to get worsen. Most often than not, prescribed exercise and helpful balance diet also can help to reduce the arterial pressure.

Diabetes on this kind of health problem complications, must oblige to maintain a right level of blood sugar (glucose) by doing some proper exercises, change lifestyle and take prescribe medicines. Refrain or cut smoking habit, this is one of the contributors of having kidney problems. Smoking also increases the arterial pressure and it destructs the efficacy of the medicines being taken to lower arterial pressure.

Minimize foods that so rich highly on protein - eat less protein-contents foods. By eating foods that have so rich in high protein this could force the kidneys to function so much. Periodic submission of the patient to the doctor to be checked to have a proper monitoring of kidneys' functionality and deals any more problems might occur due to some other health problem complications.

Chronic Renal Disease getting worse

Anytime, ERC can get worse no matter how careful and rightful ways to prevent more complications damages. At this point of time, kidneys stop working - renal insufficiency. On this process, waste from the blood could be thrown away because of the kidneys malfunctioning - threatening blood vessels to be poisoned. This is the cause why patient vomits, feel weakness, confusion and sometimes leads to comatose.

If kidneys fail to work sufficiently, this could advise the attending physician to do dialysis to the patient. Dialysis is a kind of machine that filters blood, eliminating those waste elements that accumulated and got stocked because of kidneys' failure to perform the filtering because of the disease.

Health problem complications can be avoided and can be prevented if anybody could just be health conscious particularly on our diet and healthy lifestyle.

Right Prevention is still better than cure.
