Vitamin D Day: 2017

This is a reminder to be nice to your kidneys!! It's the American Society of Nephrology's Kidney Week.

The kidneys are very hard working organs, whose primary function is to remove waste products from the body by filtering the blood. They filter about 180 liters of blood every day, cleaning it about 50 times daily.

Unfortunately, kidney diseases often go unnoticed until it is too late. Here are a few things you can do to take care of your kidneys and lower the risk of developing kidney disease.

• Stay Active and maintain a healthy weight. Staying physically active helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, reducing the risk of chronic kidney disease.

• Keep good control of blood sugar levels, especially if you are diabetic. Properly managing blood sugars can greatly reduce the risk of developing kidney disease.

• Maintain a healthy blood pressure. Most people are aware of the connection between hypertension and stroke and cardiovascular disease. But, hypertension is also the most common cause of kidney disease.

• Eat a healthy diet. Eat a varied healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, and reduce the intake of processed and convenience foods. This will help limit sodium intake, and help prevent diabetes, heart disease and other conditions associated with kidney disease.

• Consume plenty fluids. Most people should drink about 6-8 cups clean water per day. Adequate fluid intake helps clear the kidneys of sodium, urea and toxins from the body.

• Don’t smoke. Smoking impairs kidney function and lowers blood flow to the kidneys. It also increases the risk of kidney cancer by about 50%.

• Use over-the-counter medications appropriately, and only when necessary.

• Get your kidney function tested regularly, especially if you have one of these high risk factors – diabetes, hypertension, obesity, or if you have a family history of kidney disease.
