Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease and its Liable Treatment!

The interpretation and classification of chronic kidney disease have unfurled over time, but in the current scenario, chronic kidney disease is a state of the kidneys marked by the decreased Glomerular Filtration Rate of less than 60 ml/min. That means, it is a condition in which the kidneys are unable to remove waste and toxic materials from the blood timely. This inability of the kidneys transpires a lot of complications and health-related turmoil. That is why it is very crucial to seek an appropriate chronic kidney disease treatment on time to prevent the condition from deteriorating.

What are the telltale signs of chronic kidney disease?

Chronic kidney disease damages the organs in five stages. The signs and symptoms of this disease are based on these stages. In the initial stages, you may or may not notice the signs and symptoms. Moreover, identifying the medical conditions appearing in the early stages of chronic kidney disease can be a daunting task as people often get confused with other diseases and non-medical conditions. In the introductory stages, symptoms like nausea, vomiting, itching, loss of appetite, high blood pressure, and unexplained weight loss can be seen.

Once the damage reaches an advanced level, the sign and symptoms can be easily noticeable as they become excruciating. These symptoms include:

• Cramps and twitches
• Numbness in your limbs
• Weakness
• Fatigue
• Bad breath
• Skin that’s darker or lighter than usual
• Bone pain
• Excessive thirst
• Bleeding and bruising easily
• Insomnia
• Urinating much more or less than usual
• Swollen feet and ankles
• Absent menstrual periods
• Shortness of breath

If a patient is able to notice the above-mentioned symptoms, then it is advised to get tested immediately to prevent any foreseen life-threatening conditions and seek a promising chronic kidney disease treatment. We urge you to consider Ayurveda as a treatment. This ancient remedial science has the potential to revive the damaged tissues and functionalities of the organs naturally without imposing any side-effect.

What is the liable treatment for chronic kidney disease?

If we talk about chronic kidney disease treatment in Allopathy, then it fails to give any permanent solution, rather some preventive measures like dialysis and transplant. Whereas, Ayurveda uses sacred herbs, valid dietary measures, and yogic science when it comes to treating renal issues.

Diet

Dietary restrictions vary depending on the level of kidney damage. For example, people in the early stages of chronic kidney disease have different restrictions than those with kidney failure which is also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). For people with advanced kidney disease, it’s important to follow a kidney-friendly diet that helps decrease the amount of waste in the blood. While dietary restrictions vary, it’s commonly recommended that all people with kidney disease restrict the following nutrients:

• Sodium - Sodium is found in many foods and a major component of table salt. Damaged kidneys can’t filter out excess sodium, causing its blood levels to rise. It’s often recommended to limit sodium to less than 2,000 mg per day.
• Potassium - Potassium plays many critical roles in the body, but those with kidney disease need to limit potassium to avoid dangerously high blood levels. It’s usually recommended to limit potassium to less than 2,000 mg per day.
• Phosphorus - Damaged kidneys can’t remove excess phosphorus, a mineral in many foods. High levels can cause damage to the body, so dietary phosphorus is restricted to less than 800–1,000 mg per day in most patients.

After dietary guidelines come Yoga. It is one of the most prominent elements of chronic kidney disease treatment in Ayurveda and it is the most ancient form of body exercise, which has the potential to eliminate all sorts of kidney problems. It is always suggested that kidney patients should practice yoga regularly in order to stay healthy. A mere routine of 20 to 30 minutes can improve their health and make the kidneys stronger. Moreover, a healthy strict diet is also essential with yoga, prescribed by the doctor.
