๐ How Much Your Kidney Work (self tool)๐ง Understanding Kidney Failure
What happens?
The body converts food into energy. Waste products remain in the blood and bowel. Healthy kidneys excrete waste, balance potassium/sodium, remove toxins, and regulate water.
When waste accumulates, it causes fatigue, acidosis, mineral imbalance. The most common causes: diabetes and high blood pressure.
Progression & early detection
Kidney disease is progressive and often silent until 90% of function is lost. Thatโs why early detection is critical. You can slow progression with lifestyle changes and regular screening.
๐ฌ Detect function by measuring blood creatinine and urine protein.
โค๏ธ Root causes: Atherosclerosis & Obesity
All organs need nutrients delivered via blood. Blood vessels lose elasticity (atherosclerosis) mainly due to high cholesterol and excess body fat. This reduces supply to kidneys and other organs.
Itโs essential to lower body fat percentage to avoid comorbidities.
