Here are 10 possible signs you may have Kidney Disease:

Over 90 percent of people with signs of kidney disease are unaware of it.

March is National Kidney Month, and one of the best ways to observe this health awareness month is by getting tested if you're at risk for kidney disease. Major risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes, a family history of kidney failure and being age 60 or older.

While the only way to know for sure if you have kidney disease is to get tested, there are a number of physical signs. Sometimes people attribute these physical symptoms of kidney disease to other conditions. This is because those with kidney disease tend not to experience symptoms until the very late stages, when the kidneys are failing or when there are large amounts of protein in the urine.

You're more tired, have less energy or are having trouble concentrating. A severe decrease in kidney function can lead to a buildup of toxins and impurities in the blood. This can cause you to feel tired, weak and can make it hard to concentrate. Another complication of kidney disease is anemia, which can also cause weakness and fatigue.
You're having trouble sleeping. When the kidneys aren't filtering properly, toxins stay in the blood rather than leaving the body through the urine. This can make it difficult to sleep. There is also a link between obesity and chronic kidney disease, and sleep apnea is more common in those with chronic kidney disease.

You have dry and itchy skin. Healthy kidneys do many important jobs. They remove wastes and extra fluid from your body, help make red blood cells, keep bones strong and work to maintain the right amount of minerals in your blood. Dry and itchy skin can be a sign of the mineral and bone disease that often accompanies advanced kidney disease, when the kidneys are no longer able to keep the right balance of minerals and nutrients in the blood.

You feel the need to urinate more often. If you feel the need to urinate more often, especially at night, this can be a sign of kidney disease. When the kidneys' filters are damaged, it can cause an increase in the urge to urinate. Frequent urination can also be a sign of a urinary infection or enlarged prostate in men.

You see blood in your urine. Healthy kidneys typically keep blood cells in the body when filtering wastes from the blood to create urine. However, when the kidneys have been damaged, these blood cells can start to "leak" out into the urine. In addition to signaling kidney disease, blood in the urine can be indicative of tumors, kidney stones or an infection.

Your urine is foamy. Excessive bubbles in the urine -- especially ones that require you to flush several times before they go away -- indicate protein in the urine. This foam may look like the foam you see when scrambling eggs, as the common protein found in urine, albumin, is the same protein as in eggs.
You're experiencing persistent puffiness around your eyes. Protein in the urine is an early sign that the kidneys' filters have been damaged, allowing protein to leak into the urine. This puffiness around your eyes can be due to the fact that your kidneys are leaking a large amount of protein in the urine, rather than keeping it in the body.

Your ankles and feet are swollen. Decreased kidney function can lead to sodium retention, causing swelling in your feet and ankles. Swelling in the lower extremities can also be a sign of heart disease, liver disease and chronic leg vein problems.

You have a poor appetite. This is a very general symptom, but a buildup of toxins resulting from reduced kidney function can be one of the causes.

Your muscles are cramping. Electrolyte imbalances and cramping can be caused by impaired kidney function. For example, low calcium levels and poorly controlled phosphorus may contribute to muscle cramping.

Lack of Knowlede is the root of all disease.

What Exactly Are The Kidneys And What Do They Do?



The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs that are situated towards the back of the abdominal cavity, just above your waist. A trick to find them is to place your hands on your hips. Your kidneys are just below where your thumbs are located. Kidneys are bigger than most people realize. They are the size of your fists. On the other hand, for computer freaks, they are about the size of a conventional computer mouse. Of course, this size varies between individuals, so the range is 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5 inches) long and about 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 inches) wide and about 3 cm (1 ¼ inches) deep. A kidney weighs approximately 150 grams (5.28 ounces). The key role of the kidneys is to filter the blood by recognising (through special sensors) imbalances within the blood and determining what stays and what does not.

The kidneys are key components to one’s health, unlike some other organs that we can still survive without (e.g. the gallbladder and spleen). The kidneys are absolutely crucial for our survival and overall health, yet they are probably our most ignored organ. Kidneys provide the following functions and benefits for our body.

Remove - As a generalisation, the kidneys are your body’s ‘removal’ tool. They act as a filter to remove harmful substances such as metabolic by-products, hormones, drugs, toxins, and water from the body via the blood. Once filtered, the resulting urine is taken via the ureters (thin tubes) and collected in the bladder, ready for urination.

Regulate - Regulation is the way the body keeps itself in balance. With all the external and internal changes (e.g. foods, beverage consumption, external heat and cold, internal metabolic processes, drugs, etc.) that are being applied to the body, it needs to keep itself in balance (aka homeostasis). One of the ways in which the kidneys do this is by regulating the natural balance of chemicals (e.g. water, amino acids, glucose, fatty acids, salt, potassium, phosphorus, acid, and many other components) within the blood to cope with the varying demands and stressors. The kidneys separate what is necessary and what is not necessary to best aid the body.

If this intricate balance is disturbed in any way – if the body is unable to self-adjust and regulate the changes – a disease process will initiate. The body is very particular about its blood composition; there it is not a large window for fluctuation. The body analyses and detects its status with mind-blowing accuracy. If anything is even just a smidgen out, the body will get the kidneys to clear it out, kind of like a bouncer at a dance club. The bouncer allows a certain number of people in, and a certain type of people in. If the body (bouncer) is not happy with someone in the dance club… you guessed it… they get booted out.

Regulation occurs on many levels:
 Blood pH
 Electrolytes
 Blood pressure
 Excretion of wastes and toxins
 Reabsorption of glucose and amino acids

Make - Did you know the kidneys also produce four hormones and a nutrient? Well, they do. One such hormone is erythropoietin (aka EPO), which stimulates the bone marrow to make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Vitamin D, which is involved in the absorption of calcium in the intestines, is also produced in its most active form, Calcitriol. You will also find anti-diuretic hormone, Renin and Aldosterone, being produced by the kidneys.

Top 10 Kidney Disease Symptoms

Top 10 Kidney Disease Symptoms


Numerous people with a kidney problem don’t know they have one because the early kidney disease symptoms can be very subtle. Sometimes it takes several years before the kidney disease symptoms will appear. Generally the symptoms come out when the disease is already severe. It is recommended to gain knowledge about this condition especially with people having family members who were diagnosed of kidney disease, as they have a higher risk of developing the illness. Knowing the kidney disease symptoms can help you in determining whether you have this illness and do the necessary actions needed to feel your best. Here we give 10 of the most common symptoms you may experience if you have kidney disease.

1. Nausea and Vomiting
These kidney disease symptoms are due to the build-up of wastes in your blood. Sometimes even medicines such as blood pressure pills and vitamins will be thrown up.

2. Feeling Cold
Chilling and feeling cold is another symptom of kidney disease even when in a warm surrounding. This is due to the condition called anemia.

3. Changes in urination
Some changes in your urination can take place like getting up at night more often to expel urine. You may urinate in smaller amounts or less often than normal with dark colored urine. Sometimes your urine may include blood. In some cases you may urinate in greater amounts or more often than normal with pale urine. You may also have difficulty urinating and could sometimes feel pressure when doing so. There are also cases that you may feel like urinating but when you get to the restroom nothing is happening.

4. Trouble concentrating and Dizziness
Anemia is a common condition associated with kidney disease. Having anemia could mean that your brain is not getting enough oxygen. Due to this condition, you will suffer from dizziness, trouble with concentration, or memory loss.

5. Leg/Flank Pain

Pain on the side or back are also common kidney disease symptoms. This pain is often related to polycystic kidney disease that causes cysts which are fluid-filled in the kidneys or in the liver.

6. Swelling
Kidneys are supposed to remove wastes and extra fluid in the body. When the kidneys fail to perform their functions, the extra fluid in your body will start to build up causing swelling in the face, hands, legs, feet and/or ankles.

7. Fatigue
Aside from filtering waste materials in the body, your kidneys are also responsible of producing a hormone called erythropoietin. These hormones help make oxygen-carrying red blood cells. When your kidneys stop functioning properly, they are unable to produce enough erythropoietin. When there are very few red blood cells in your body to carry oxygen, your brain and muscles will feel tired very fast. This condition is known as anemia, which is curable. In most cases you will feel tired and totally drained even if you do nothing.

8. Ammonia Breath or Metallic Taste in the Mouth

The building up of wastes in the blood can also cause bad breath and a different taste in the food. This also comes with a loss of appetite.

9. Skin Rashes/Itching
When your kidneys fail to perform their functions, wastes will start to build up in your blood which causes severe itching and skin rashes.
Most people diagnosed with kidney disease think that they will die immediately. This can be true 40 years ago when there were no enough machines for dialysis, and knowledge about the disease is very limited. Fortunately nowadays more and more machines have been invented to aid in the dialysis. Doctors can also perform kidney transplant at a lesser risk due to sufficient knowledge and high technology machines available but very expensive. Diagnosis of kidney disease at an early stage will reduce your chances of getting severe kidney problems. When you observe your body having kidney disease symptoms, it is recommended to see your doctor immediately. Never take these kidney disease symptoms for granted as they can get more severe if no actions will be taken instantly.

About Kidney Failure, and What You Should Know and Do



Millions of people around with an increasing number of  Nigerians have chronic kidney disease, and most don’t even know it. Millions more are at increased risk.

Chronic kidney disease usually leads to kidney failure, a stage where your kidneys fail to do their basic function which is to eliminate waste products via urine.

The most common causes leading to kidney failure are less expensive to treat than the end result of chronic kidney failure which requires renal replacement therapies of Dialysis and Kidney transplant.
Q: What are the kidneys?
A: Each person is normally born with two kidneys, located in the lower back. The kidneys are shaped like beans and are the size of the fist. Each kidney contains normally about one million little filters called nephrons.

Q: What do the kidneys do?
A: The kidneys have many functions. Their basic job is to clean the blood through the little filters in them by removing waste products and to regulate the body fluid. They perform this by producing urine where what is not needed in the body is eliminated. They also assist in the production of vitamin D and erythropoietin, a protein necessary to produce hemoglobin for red blood cells.

Q: What is Kidney Failure?
A: Kidney failure occurs when both kidneys are so damaged that they no longer can clean waste products from the blood. When only one kidney is lost, the other one is usually strong enough to do the job.

Q: What are the types of Kidney Failure?
A: There are 2 types of kidney failure:
1. Acute Kidney Failure and
2. Chronic Kidney Failure.

Q: What is Acute Kidney Failure?
A: Acute Kidney (Renal) Failure is a sudden decrease in kidney function. It can happen for example with severe infections, severe vomiting and diarrhea with dehydration, intoxications or allergic reactions. With treatment in the hospital, usually dialysis, there is almost always return to normal kidney function.

Q: What is Chronic Kidney Failure?
A: Chronic Kidney (Renal) Failure is the gradual loss of kidney function because of kidney damage. Often people are unaware that their kidneys are not functioning properly, as they are highly adaptable organs. Even when most of a kidney is not functioning, the remaining portion will increase its activity to compensate for the loss.
Q: What are the symptoms of kidney failure
A:  If you experience any of the following symptoms, at the end of the report I will explain how Trevo can support and help restore your Kidney
• Nocturia (getting up at night to pass urine)
• Tiredness / lethargy
• Loss of appetite & nausea
• Increased or decreased urine volume
• Discomfort over the bladder / lower abdomen area
• High blood pressure.
• Swelling in your hands, feet or face, particularly around your eyes
• A metallic or foreign taste in your mouth
• Shortness of breath
• Restlessness
• Leg cramps
Q: What are the causes of kidney failure?
A: The leading causes of kidney failure in Nigeria are:
1. Hypertension (High blood pressure)
2. Chronic Glomerulonephritis
3. Diabetes Mellitus

Others include:
1. Chronic pyelonephritis
2. Sickle cell disease
3. Analgesic abuse
4. Obstructive uropathy
5. Polycystic kidney disease
6. Congenital anomalies (In children )
7. HIV nephropathy
8. SLE (Systemic lupus erythematosus)
9. Kidney stone disease
10. Herbal medication use and abuse
11. Bleaching creams containing mercury
12. For some people, the cause is unknown
Q: What happens when the kidneys fail?
A: Harmful waste products and excess fluid accumulate in the body. The individual will have a poor appetite, will get tired more easily, will look pale because of anemia (low number of red blood cells), and performance may be affected.

Q: Can I die from kidneys failure?
A
: In the long run, if there is no treatment with either dialysis or a transplant, kidney failure is fatal. This is due to the buildup of waste products, accumulation of fluid in the body and affectation of its other functions.
Q: What are the risk factors of kidney failure?
A
: Those most at risk of chronic kidney failure include people who:
• have diabetes
• have high blood pressure
• are obese
• are over 50 years old
• use traditional medication frequently
• use bleaching creams/soaps
• smoke cigarettes
• have a family history of kidney disease
Q: Does kidney failure run in families?
A
: Although it is unusual, some forms of chronic renal failure run in families. Inherited disease like polycystic kidney disease can lead to chronic renal failure.

Q: Will kidney failure affect my sexuality and fertility?
A
: Decreased libido can occur and loss of fertility during renal failure and dialysis can be distressful to patients. It is often restored after a kidney transplant and many patients have successful pregnancies
Q: What is dialysis?
A
: Dialysis is a method of removing waste products and excess fluids from your body after your kidneys have failed. Kidney dialysis is an artificial process that performs the two main functions of the kidneys:
1. Filtering waste from the blood; and
2. Balancing the body’s fluid levels.

Q: What are the types of dialysis available?
A
: There are two types of dialysis:
1. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) and
2. Haemodialysis (HD)

Q: What is Haemodialysis (HD)?
A
: Haemodialysis (HD) is a machine-assisted blood filtration method which removes waste and excess fluid from your blood in a dialyser (or artificial kidney) outside your body. It usually requires a doctor to surgically create permanent access to your blood stream, via your arm or thigh, allowing blood to be diverted from your body, through the dialyser and back into your blood stream.

Q: What is peritoneal dialysis (PD)?
A
: Peritoneal dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneum, a natural membrane lining the cavity of your abdomen. The membrane has tiny holes that allow waste products and fluid to filter from your blood. The process of waste removal, as in haemodialysis, is called diffusion. The removal of excess water, osmosis, is aided by another substance within the dialysis fluid, usually glucose.

Q: How many types of peritoneal dialysis are there?
A
: There are two types of PD:
1. Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
2. Automated peritoneal dialysis (APD).

Both types of PD allow you to be relatively independent and manage your own care at home. For now, PD is
Q: How does dialysis filter waste from the blood?
A
: • During dialysis, waste and excess water pass from the blood into a liquid called dialysate for removal from the body by a process called diffusion.
• A thin layer of natural tissue (in peritoneal dialysis) or of synthetic plastic (in haemodialysis), known as the dialysis membrane, keeps the blood separate from the dialysis fluid.
• Blood cells are too large to pass through the dialysis membrane, though waste and water can diffuse into the dialysis fluid.
• Wastes are then removed from the body by extracting the dialysis fluid.

Q: How does dialysis balance the body’s fluid levels?
A
:
• In both Haemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis, a process called ultrafiltration removes excess fluid.
• In haemodialysis, the fluid is simply drawn from the blood by the dialysis machine. The amount of water to be removed can be varied by changing the dialyser’s settings.
• In peritoneal dialysis a substance (most commonly glucose) is added to the blood to draw water out in a process called osmosis.
• Peritoneal dialysis solution containing a lot of glucose will draw out more fluid than a weaker solution.

Q: Will dialysis cure me?
A
:
• Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are treatments that help replace the work your kidneys did.
• These treatments help you feel better and live longer, but they don’t cure kidney failure.

Q: How long can I be on dialysis?
A
: You can be on dialysis for as long as it takes to get a kidney transplant or for the rest of your life.not widely available in Nigeria.
Q: Can I change to a different form of treatment once I’ve started dialysis?
A: Yes. It is quite common for people to change treatments as their health and lifestyle needs change. You may have several methods of dialysis treatment throughout your life.
Q: Is it dangerous to skip dialysis?
A
: Yes, this can lead to fluid overload and accumulation of waste products in the body. It can also lead to breathing problems due to a serious condition called pulmonary edema where fluid gets accumulated in the lungs.

Q: What is the cost of dialysis?
A
: A session of haemodialysis costs on average N25,000 (Twenty Five Thousand Naira). For it to be effective, a patient should have 3 sessions per week, this will come to about N75, 000 a week! Which ordinary Nigerian can afford it?
Q: How long can patients live with a kidney transplant?
A
: The donor kidney lasts up to 10 to 12 years on average for Deceased kidney source, but 18 to 22 years for live donor source. However, the longest surviving transplanted kidney is about 45 years and this was performed between identical twins.

Q: What happens if the new kidney is rejected?
A
: If the transplant fails the patient can be put on dialysis again until a new donor kidney is found.

Q: What are Some Possible Post-transplant complications?
A
:
1. Infections
2. Delayed kidney function
3. High blood pressure
4. Weight gain
5. Rejection
6. Cancer

Q: What can I do to reduce damage to my kidney?
A
: • Keep fit with regular exercise to help blood pressure and weight control.
• Eat healthy and maintain a good body weight – which reduces blood pressure stress of being overweight and diabetes mellitus.
• Keep regular control of your blood sugar level
• Monitor your blood pressure
• Moderate alcohol consumption
• Do not smoke
• Do not take over-the-counter-pills on a regular basis
• Do not use bleaching creams and/or soaps
• Avoid herbal preparations
• Drinking adequate quantities ( 2 to 3 Litres ) of water daily
