Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects over 80 million people in the U.S., significantly impacting those with diabetes and high blood pressure. Key prevention strategies include maintaining an active lifestyle, a balanced diet, managing blood pressure and blood sugar levels, staying hydrated, avoiding smoking, and being cautious with painkiller use. Early diagnosis and effective management of kidney disease can delay or prevent deterioration in kidney function.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more
than 80 million people in our country. Around
the world, one out of every three diabetics and
one out of every five adults with high blood
pressure has CKD.According to Hiranandani
Hospital Powai News, aside from diabetes and
high blood pressure, other variables that raise
your risk of kidney disease include heart
disease, obesity, and a family history of kidney
disease.

from your body. Urine assists in the removal of waste items as well as
excess fluid.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR
KIDNEYS?

5. 1.KEEP YOURSELF ACTIVE
Regular exercise can help you maintain a healthy weight,
lower your blood pressure, and lower your risk of renal
disease.
2.MAINTAIN A BALANCED DIET
A well-balanced diet can help you maintain a healthy weight,
lower your blood pressure, prevent diabetes, heart disease, as
well as other kidney-related illnesses. Limit your salt intake
and stay away from processed meals.

6. 3.MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BLOOD
SUGAR LEVEL
Over half of diabetics are completely ignorant of their illness.
Around half of all diabetics get kidneydisease.
4.KEEP YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE IN
CHECK
Approximately half of those with high blood pressure are
unaware of it. This illness is referred to as a "silent killer"since
it might harm your kidneys.

7. 5.GET ENOUGH WATER
Exercise, environment, health conditions, pregnancy, and
nursing all influence the appropriate level of fluid
consumption for every individual. The average person needs
8 cups (about 2 litres) of water each day. If you have kidney,
heart, or liver illness, you may need to alter your fluid
consumption.
6.NO SMOKING
Tobacco use restricts blood arteries and reduces blood flow
to the kidneys. The kidneys' ability to function correctly is
compromised when they receive less blood. Furthermore,
smoking increases the risk of kidney cancer by 50 percent.

8. 7.DO NOT OVERUSE PAINKILLERS
If taken on a regular basis, common medicines like non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and pain
relievers can affect the kidneys. Never self-prescribe drugs;
always seek medical advice before using a pain reliever.

9. CONCLUSION
The deterioration in kidney function can be delayed or even
prevented, and the risk of related problems can be
decreased, if Chronic Kidney Disease is recognised early and
managed effectively. For a timely diagnosis and treatment of
kidney illness, consult Hiranandani Hospital Kidney experts.
