3 Risk factors and causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition in which your kidneys have been damaged and are unable to filter blood as effectively as they should. Wastes can build up in your body as a result of this damage. It can also lead to other complications that are harmful to your health. The most common causes of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure.

Kidney damage happens over a long period. Many patients do not experience any symptoms until their kidney disease has progressed significantly. Only blood and urine testing can determine whether or not you have renal disease.

Causes and Risk Factors

It is not necessary to have one of these risk factors to develop renal disease. However, if kidney disease is diagnosed and treated early on, it may be possible to prevent it from worsening.

Mentioned are the top 3 risk factors and causes responsible for chronic kidney disease:

Diabetes

Diabetes is one of the most significant risk factors for renal disease, and it is the leading cause of kidney failure. Diabetes can be managed and health complications such as kidney damage can be avoided with a good diet, exercise, and medication.

High blood pressure

High blood pressure is one of the leading causes of renal disease and is the second leading cause of kidney failure. Keeping your blood pressure under control can help you avoid and slow down the progression of chronic kidney disease.

Family History

Diabetes and high blood pressure are both passed down through the family. If a close family (parent, grandparent, or sibling) has been diagnosed with one or both of these conditions, you may be at risk. Kidney disease is most commonly caused by diabetes and high blood pressure.

Symptoms of CKD

When kidney disease is in its early stages, it rarely causes symptoms.

Because the body can usually manage with a large decline in kidney function, this is the case.

When a regular test for another condition, such as a blood or urine test, detects a suspected problem, kidney disease is often only detected at this time.

If it's discovered early on, treatment and regular tests to monitor it may be able to prevent it from progressing.

At later stages, the most significant symptoms can be seen such as:

• a lack of appetite and weight reduction

• water retention causes swelling ankles, feet, or hands (edema)

• Breathing problems

• tiredness

• pee with blood in it (urine)

• a greater desire to pee – especially at night

• sleeping problems (insomnia)

• itchy skin

• pain in the muscles

• feeling ill

• headaches

• erectile dysfunction

Alternative Treatment to Transplants and Medication Using Stem Cell Therapy

Umbilical cord stem cells are found to be the best alternative treatment used to treat various chronic illnesses like CKD, Diabetes, High BP. Regarding CKD, treatment of kidney failure with stem cells is the most potent treatment in providing optimum results.

Stem cell therapy is anti-inflammatory, lowering chronic inflammation levels in the body to levels that allow healing to take place when it would otherwise be impossible. Inflammation levels would be high throughout the body if you have Kidney Disease. The body can begin to rebuild the tissue required for optimal function by reducing inflammatory indicators to normal levels.
