Chronic Kidney Disease Stage I to IV

The benefits of CKD include:
* Possibly treat any underlying kidney condition.
* Prevent or decrease the progression of CKD.
* Reduce the possibility of cardiovascular disease.
* Relieve symptoms and complications due to CKD.

An ideal candidate with chronic kidney disease may result from primary diseases of the kidneys. Major contributing causes include: diabetes and high blood pressure.

In the event you suffer from chronic kidney disease, your doctor will advise regular follow-up visits.

During these visits, your condition and kidney status will be determined by undergoing blood and urine tests and possibly imaging studies. Your treatment for chronic kidney disease may necessitate a special diet to help alleviate the need for kidney function. Depending on your health and level of kidney function, a dietician might recommend that you limit your protein intake by refocusing your diet from high-protein foods to low-protein ones such as vegetables, fruits, breads and cereals. Similarly, your new diet may aim ay lowering the intake of potassium foods by cutting out such high-potassium foods as bananas, oranges, potatoes, spinach and tomatoes in favor of low-potassium foods such as apples, cabbages, carrots, green beans, grapes and strawberries. Added salt should also be avoided; therefore, convenience foods with higher salt contents such as frozen dinners, canned soups, salty snack foods, canned vegetables, processed meats and cheeses will have to be eliminated from your diet.

Fainting, chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe nausea or bleeding (from any source), extreme fatique are all signs of the possibility of a severe complication of chronic kidney disease and warrant a visit to the nearest hospital emergency department.
