In most of the healthy humans, there are two kidneys relatively small to medium sized organs. They are located toward the back of the body with one to the right and on to the left of the spine. They are essential organs within the body and helps in the filter of metabolic waste and liquid from the blood.

Kidney problem can happen at your old age or even before that if you are diabetic patient or suffering, from high blood sugar level. These are just some of the prime reasons for kidney disease. It is better to treat this condition on first sign or symptoms. Although in a condition of kidney damage one should immediately go for kidney failure treatment.

Causes of kidney problem

There could be many reasons for kidney failure, but it is mainly the result of some prolonged disease or genetic troubles. Some of the common causes are:

  • Kidneys not getting enough blood to filter
  • You are already suffering from high blood sugar level, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease
  • Blockage in kidneys by a kidney stone or scar tissue
  • Family history of kidney failure
  • Physical injury to kidneys
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Urinary tract infection (UTI)
  • Nephrotic syndrome

Signs and symptoms

Kidney Problem takes time to advance to later stages. The first signs of kidney failure are only visible in the later stages. The most common signs are swelling in body parts, foamy and frothy urine, painful and burning sensation while urinating, joint and back pain, irregular urine pattern, loss of appetite, heart disease, fatigue and nausea. Other signs of kidney problem are weakness due to anemia, heart disease, shortness of breath and joint stiffness.

Common diagnostic test

The diagnosis of kidney failure is a consequence of the patient's disease or injury. In patients with chronic kidney disease due to diabetes, high blood pressure, or another related medical condition his or her medical care team most likely monitors kidney function as part of the routine long-term medical care plan.

  • Blood test helps in identifying the BUN, creatinine and GFR level for measuring the buildup of waste products

  • Abdominal ultrasound and kidney biopsy helps in locating any physical injury to the kidneys

Common treatment methods

In order to prevent any further damage, most people go on frequent dialysis or a kidney transplant. Dialysis is an artificial process of filtering the waste from the blood when kidneys are not able performs its normal functions. Dialysis is mainly of two type’s namely peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In a transplant, the diseased kidneys are surgically removed and replaced with a new donated kidney. However, the above kidney failure treatment prevents further deterioration but doesn’t improve the condition of the kidneys.

An ideal kidney diet

A healthy diet is an important consideration for impaired kidney function. There are certain foods that may or may not be appropriate. In such a condition, the kidneys cannot easily remove excess water, salt, or potassium from the blood, so foods high in potassium salt substitutes may need to be consumed in limited quantities. Protein should be limited in the diet and sodium should be consumed in less quantity. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be included in the diet. Alcohol, caffeine and aerated drinks should be excluded from the diet as they can further damage the kidneys.

Ayurvedic kidney failure treatment

These herbs have no side-effects and are highly effective in reducing kidney symptoms.
