      Conclusion

      Preface

      Unfortunately, there is no permanent treatment/cure for kidney failure, just strategies to keep someone with kidney disease as stable and healthy as possible. One such strategy is to follow a kidney disease diet that limits the intake of certain nutrients in order to reduce the amount of waste in the blood. This is because the kidneys are needed to properly balance the proportions of water, salt and other minerals (called electrolytes) in the blood, otherwise, kidney dysfunction can lead to abnormal mineral levels.

      What is Kidney Diet?

      It restricts the intake of sodium, potassium, and phosphorus because people with kidney problems need to monitor how much of these nutrients they consume. These three micronutrients can accumulate in the blood and contribute to problems such as high blood pressure (hypertension), swelling and fluid retention, cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat), bone disorders, and vascular calcifications.

      Functions of the kidneys

      When blood flows to the kidney, sensors in specialized kidney cells regulate the amount of water they excrete as urine, along with the concentration of electrolytes. For example, if a person is dehydrated due to exercise or illness, the kidneys retain as much water as possible and the urine becomes very concentrated. When water is present in the body, the urine becomes much more diluted and the urine becomes clear. This system is controlled by renin, a hormone produced in the kidney that is part of the body's blood pressure and blood regulation systems.

      The kidneys are also the source of erythropoietin in the body, a hormone that stimulates the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. Special cells in the kidney monitor the oxygen concentration in the blood. If oxygen levels drop, erythropoietin levels rise and the body begins to make more red blood cells.

      The urine produced by each kidney flows through the urethra, a tube that connects the kidney to the bladder. Urine is stored inside the bladder, and when urination occurs, the bladder empties the urine through a tube called the urethra.

      In conclusion, the function of the kidneys is to filter out excess water and waste and to eliminate toxins from the body in the form of urine. It also helps maintain a balance of electrolytes and other fluids in our body. When a person suffers from kidney disease, it becomes difficult for the kidneys to function properly, which can result in kidney failure in extreme cases. In such cases, it is necessary to make some changes to the diet.

      Signs and Symptoms of Kidney Failure

      Lethargy

      Weakness

      Shortness of breath

      Generalized swelling (edema)

      Widespread weakness due to anemia

      Loss of appetite

      Lethargy

      Fatigue

      Congestive heart failure

      Metabolic acidosis

      High blood potassium (hyperkalemia)

      Fatal heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) including ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation

      Increased blood urea levels (uremia) may lead to cerebral encephalopathy, pericarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart) or low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia).

      You will be advised to follow a kidney diet if your kidneys fail, which means your kidneys are not able to remove body wastes, which are usually produced from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink. Following a diet is an important part of your treatment and recovery process.

      Diet can not completely cure kidney diseases but it will help you to avoid complications such as weight loss, excessive fluid buildup, etc.

      Causes of kidney disease

      Diabetes

      High blood pressure

      Glomerulonephritis is kidney inflammation

      Genetic diseases such as polycystic kidney disease (PKD)

      Autoimmune diseases like lupus

      You are at greater risk of developing chronic kidney disease if you have a family history of kidney failure and the following:

      Diabetes: Diabetes is one of the main causes of kidney failure. Forty-four percent of people who start dialysis have kidney failure caused by diabetes. Diabetes can damage your kidneys and this damage can develop over many years without one knowing it. That's why it's so important for people with diabetes to control their diabetes and get tested for kidney disease. Kidney disease can develop by type 1 and type 2 diabetes.

      High blood pressure: High blood pressure is another main cause of kidney failure. High blood pressure can damage your kidneys. This deterioration can occur for many years without you feeling it. That's why it's so important for people with high blood pressure to monitor their blood pressure and get tested for kidney disease. For most people, a blood pressure of 140/90
