You may not think about your kidneys, but they play a vital role in your overall health by removing wastes and extra fluids from your blood.

Following your kidney health allows you time to make informed decisions about your care and reduces your chances of serious health problems.

More than one in seven U.S. adults are estimated to have chronic kidney disease…

…yet because early kidney disease usually has no symptoms…

…many people don’t know they have kidney disease or that they are at risk.

Getting tested is the best way to know how your kidneys are doing.

If you are over 60, have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure, ask your doctor about getting tested for kidney disease.

While you may be afraid to learn if your kidneys are struggling, being informed about your kidney health means you can take steps to protect them.

Urine and blood tests can tell you if you have kidney disease, and regular check-ups can tell if it is getting worse.

Your doctor can use your tests to develop a personalized care plan that can be updated as needed.

By making healthy lifestyle changes, and managing existing illnesses, you may be able to slow the progression of kidney disease.

Don’t wait until you feel sick. Talk to your doctor about getting tested—and keep following your kidney health.

The kidney numbers, eGFR and uACR, determine the health of our kidneys, as well as our risk for heart disease and the risk for chronic kidney disease (CKD) getting worse. The visual guide for determining these risks is the CKD Heat Map. Understanding the role of the kidney numbers and how to read and interpret the CKD Heat Map are difficult concepts to convey to both patients and the general population. Therefore, the National Kidney Foundation has developed three short and engaging animated videos to help explain these complex topics in the simplest terms possible.

Building paths to better kidney care.

Chronic kidney disease, also called CKD, is a serious condition that affects 1 in 7 U.S. adults – that’s 37 million people.

In the past, CKD was considered a single disease with a single care plan. Research now shows there are different types of CKD that may require unique care plans beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.

NIDDK is changing the way we understand, treat, and prevent kidney disease. Discoveries from innovative research are revealing new paths that could allow health care professionals to provide better treatments tailored to the type of CKD and to the individual.

No matter the path you choose, being an active participant in your care is important. Work alongside your health care team to identify the treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, mobility, health status, and dietary needs.

Your path can include physical activity, like walking or taking the stairs, to help you stay active and manage your weight…

…a healthy meal plan with foods you enjoy…

…or a sleep routine that helps you get enough rest.

Every choice you make to improve your kidney health can also help you manage your overall health.

If a part of your plan no longer works or if your kidney disease gets worse, let your health care team know and discuss other paths you can take to get back on track.

The path you travel to reach your health goals may be different than someone else’s, and that’s ok. What’s most important is taking the path that works for you.

Start building your path to better kidney care today! For more tips on kidney health and to learn more about NIDDK kidney research, visit niddk.nih.gov.

In this video, Dr. Puru Dhawan will tell about causes of kidney shrinkage.

Function of kidney is excretion of waste material in the form of urine. When kidneys are not able to function properly, problem starts arising either in the form of kidneyy shrinkage or if the size is normal then also creatinine and urea level start rising as the kidneys are not able to filter blood properly.
Kidney shrinkage is a problem that decreases the size of kidneys. Shrinkage can be noticed either in one kidney or both of the kidneys.

Causes are as follows-
1. Renal Artery Stenosis- Artery which carries blood to the kidneys gets narrowed hamperimg the functioning of kidneys as kidneys does not get proper nourishment causing atrophy. This causes kidney shrinkage and decreases functioning of kidneys. Toxins start accumulating as excretion through urine is not happening.

2. Pyelonephritis- Pyelo means pus formation and Nephritis means inflammation in nephrons. In this condition it is observed that the patient is suffering from long term UTI(Urinary Tract Infection). UTI is commonly seen in females. It might be due to gram-negative bacteria or viral infection. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test is used to detect the cause of UTI. Urine Culture Sensitivity Test tells whether it is aerobic growth or infection. If the patient complains of frequent urination or burning sensation while urinating then the patient should go for Urine Routine Test. Long-term UTI infection can travel to the kidneys. Minimum medication should give maximized results. When UTI gets converted to Pyelonephritis, the size of one kidney is normal while the other is shrinking.

At Sai Sanjivani, we determine the cause of kidney failure. It might be due to-
–High Sugar Level
–High Blood Pressure
–Infection
Kidney Atrophy might be seen due to Tuberculosis

3. High Blood Pressure- One of the main reason behind kidney failure is high blood pressure. Patient’s Ultrasound determines kidney shrinkage. High blood pressure should be controlled through diet, exercise or medicines.

4. Diabetes- Diabetic patients should keep a check and control their sugar level levels as it can later on cause kidney failure.

We at Sai Sanjivani diagnose the root bcause of kidney failure and start KFRT(Kidney Function Restoration Treatment). KFRT focuses on diet regime and herbal medicines that increase kidney functioning. By increasing functioning of kidneys, waste material start flushing out from the body. Urine Routine Test should be performed to know if there is any condition that is damaging kidneys.
Protein loss in Urine Routine Test indicates intensity of kidney damage. Along with KFRT Kidney Routine Test should be performed.

Phosphorus is a mineral found in almost all foods. It works with calcium and vitamin D to keep your bones healthy. Healthy kidneys keep the right amount of phosphorus in your body. When your kidneys are not working well, phosphorus can build up in your blood. Too much phosphorus in your blood can lead to weak bones that break easily.

Many people with kidney disease need to limit phosphorus.

Depending on your stage of kidney disease, your doctor may also prescribe a medicine called a phosphate binder. This helps to keep phosphorus from building up in your blood. A phosphate binder can be helpful, but you will still need to watch how much phosphorus you eat. Ask your doctor if a phosphate binder is right for you.

Diabetic kidney disease, or diabetic nephropathy, is kidney disease caused by diabetes. It’s a very common diabetic complication, affecting about one third of people with diabetes type 1, and half of those with diabetes type 2. Diabetic kidney disease is responsible for most of the excess mortality associated with diabetes.
Because the kidneys remove metabolic wastes, control blood pH, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as produce several hormones; loss of kidney function results in accumulation of toxic wastes, electrolyte imbalances, and a number of other health problems.
The disease develops slowly over time, progressing from renal insufficiency to end-stage renal failure. Often, initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms. Symptoms typically appear when a significant portion of kidney function is already lost. The ability to concentrate urine is usually the first to be impaired, resulting in frequent trips to the bathroom, especially at night. Other early signs include fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased mental ability.
Chronic high blood glucose levels, together with high blood pressure caused by diabetes, bring damage to tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, affecting their functions. Cellular degeneration in the functional units of the kidneys, the nephrons, in particular the podocytes of renal glomeruli, further contributes to the impairment of renal functions.
Diabetes, especially when poorly managed, is the biggest risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Other risk factors are the same as those for high blood pressure and include smoking, having high cholesterol levels, and being overweight.
Because initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms, it is important for diabetic patients to test annually for kidney functions. The tests typically include blood and urine analysis.
Prevention and management strategies consist of controlling blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels; all of which can be achieved with a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Lifestyle measures typically include a healthy diet with low salt intake, increased physical activity, weight management, and smoking cessation.
Among all blood pressure lowering medications, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which block the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, work best to protect kidney functions.
End-stage kidney disease requires dialysis or kidney transplantation.
