KIDNEY FUNCTION

 

 

🔴 What tests do doctors use to diagnose and monitor kidney disease?

✅ A blood test that checks how well your kidneys are filtering your blood, called GFR.
GFR stands for glomerular filtration rate.
✅ A urine test to check for albumin.
Albumin is a protein that can pass into the urine when the kidneys are damaged.

Creatinine is a waste product that is produced by your muscles. It is typically removed through the kidneys.
The normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.84 to 1.21 milligrams per deciliter.

❌ What are the worst things for kidneys?

1. Overusing Painkillers
Over the counter pain medicines, such as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), may alleviate your aches and pains, but they can harm the kidneys, especially if you already have kidney disease.

2. Abusing the Salt Shaker
Diets high in salt are high in sodium, which can increase blood pressure and, in turn, harm your kidneys.
3. Eating Processed Foods
4. Not Drinking Enough Water
5. Missing Out on Sleep
6. Eating Too Much Meat
7. Eating Too Many Foods High in Sugar
8. SMOKING
9. Drinking Alcohol in Excess
10. Sitting Still
Sitting for long periods of time has now been linked to the development of kidney disease. Although researchers don’t know yet why or how sedentary time or physical activity directly impact kidney health, it is known that greater physical activity is associated with  improved blood pressure and glucose metabolism, both important factors in kidney health.
