The Cause of Renal Diseases and What to Do About It

Nestled against the backdrop of your spine, beneath the rib cage, reside your kidneys—each a marvel of nature, roughly the size of your fist. Your kidneys work tirelessly, filtering your blood and body around the clock. They meticulously remove waste and excess water. Your kidneys regulate fluid balance and mineral levels and even produce hormones for the body.

However, when these kidneys face harm, their efficiency wanes. Damaged kidneys can lead to the accumulation of dangerous wastes, an increase in blood pressure, fluid retention, and a diminished capacity to produce vital red blood cells—a state known as kidney failure.

The culprits behind most renal diseases are conditions that impair the nephrons, leaving the kidneys struggling to cleanse the body. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) exemplifies this slow, insidious damage unfolding over the years. The common factors of renal diseases include genetics, injuries, certain medications, and notably diabetes and hypertension, which amplify the risk of kidney disease. Additionally, family history is also one of the risk factors for developing kidney problems.

Early detection of kidney disease is achievable through routine testing and kidney care in Michigan. In the event of kidney failure, dialysis or a kidney transplant becomes necessary. These treatments introduce a new set of considerations for daily living, diet, and activity planning. With a supportive network of healthcare professionals, family, and friends, even individuals afflicted with kidney failure can still lead fulfilling lives.
