Healthy Kidneys

 Healthy Kidneys

Each kidney is a filter, helping the body eliminate waste products and excess fluid. The kidneys balance the body’s electrolytes and acidity, help control blood pressure, and produce hormones.
Kidney problems include kidney stones, acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and end-stage renal failure. The two main causes of chronic kidney disease are diabetes and high blood pressure.
Tests for renal function include BUN, creatinine, GFR, albumin, insulin, Hba1c, and urinalysis.
One of the most essential strategies is to follow an anti-inflammatory, healing diet using ketogenic guidelines.
Foods that support the kidneys include cucumbers, celery, dandelion greens, beets, lemons, limes, and berries.
The kidneys filter and return to the bloodstream about 120–150 quarts of blood every 24 hours
Each kidney contains up to a million nephrons. The glomerulus has glomeruli, tiny blood vessels that filter the blood. The final product is urine, which the body excretes.
The primary role of the renal and urinary systems is to aid detoxification by filtering and removing waste products, drugs, and toxins. They regulate blood pressure. The renal system also regulates the body’s water balance by releasing excess fluid. They produce the hormone erythropoietin, which produces red blood cells.
Kidney problems include acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, and kidney failure or end-stage renal disease.

·        Shortness of breath (if fluid builds up in the lungs)
·        High blood pressure that is difficult to control
Kidney failure is the last stage of chronic kidney disease, associated with high mortality, high morbidity, and disability.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD): The leading causes are diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, obesity, and dyslipidemia. Autoimmune diseases and genetic diseases.
Lab Tests for Kidney Function:
BUN
Creatinine
GFR
Albumin
Sodium
Potassium
Chloride
Phosphorus
Fasting Insulin
 
An anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle are critical. Following ketogenic guidelines can be very helpful: intermittent fasting and hydration.
Restrict sodium, potassium, and phosphorus because their kidneys cannot filter out the excess.
Low-carbohydrate vegetables and small amounts of low-glycemic fruits are essential to an anti-inflammatory diet.
Drinking plenty of fluids helps the kidneys to clear sodium, urea, and waste products from the body.
