10% of the population worldwide is affected by chronic kidney disease (CKD), and millions die each year because they do not have access to affordable treatment.1
According the 2010 Global Burden of Disease study, chronic kidney disease was ranked 27th in the list of causes of total number of deaths worldwide in 1990, but rose to 18th in 2010. This degree of movement up the list was second only to that for HIV and AIDs. 2
Over 2 million people worldwide currently receive treatment with dialysis or a kidney transplant to stay alive, yet this number may only represent 10% of people who actually need treatment to live.3
Of the 2 million people who receive treatment for kidney failure, the majority are treated in only five countries – the United States, Japan, Germany, Brazil, and Italy. These five countries represent only 12% of the world population. Only 20% are treated in about 100 developing countries that make up over 50% of the world population.

Lets Know the Tips to keep our KIdneys healthy(Kidney Problems are on the Rise!!!)

If you think you might have kidney disease, it’s important to see your doctor for evaluation. Getting an early diagnosis and treatment can help slow the progression to kidney failure.

If you know you have kidney disease, regularly see your doctor to monitor your kidney function. While chronic kidney disease can’t be reversed, its progression can be slowed with appropriate treatment.

Your kidneys can lose up to 90 percent of their function and still do their job pretty well. Losing more than that is considered kidney failure.

 is a sudden loss of kidney function. It’s usually reversible.

 is a gradual loss of kidney function. It gets worse over time and isn’t reversible (but you can slow its progression).

When kidneys fail, waste and extra fluid builds up in your body. This causes the symptoms of kidney failure.

Acute kidney failure occurs when something causes your kidneys to suddenly stop working. Some of the causes are:

contrast dye used for some imaging tests, like CT or MRI scan

 (damage to the filtering parts of your kidney) that occurs rapidly

 (damage to the tubules in your kidney) that occurs rapidly

over-the-counter pain medications, such as NSAIDs

, including some blood pressure medications at high doses, antibiotics, or cancer medications

Chronic kidney failure occurs when something slowly and progressively damages your kidneys. Causes include:

glomerulonephritis that’s slow and progressive

interstitial nephritis that’s slow and progressive

Your kidneys do a lot of other things besides filtering your blood. When kidneys fail, they can’t do these jobs, so complications might occur.

There are treatments for both types of kidney failure. Acute kidney failure can be reversed. Chronic kidney failure progression can be slowed with the right treatment.

In acute kidney failure, the problem is temporary. Your kidneys will start working again once the problem has been treated. Some examples of treatment are:

If your kidneys don’t respond to treatment right away, 

 can be done temporarily until they’re working again.

Progressive damage to your kidneys causes chronic kidney failure. Since it can’t be reversed, something else has to take over the work of your kidneys. The options are:

 A dialysis machine can filter your blood. This can be performed at a dialysis center or at home, but will require a partner.

 The filtering occurs in your abdomen. This can be done at a center or at home. It doesn’t require a partner’s assistance.

What to expect if you’re facing kidney failure

Your outlook depends on the type of kidney failure.

If you have chronic kidney failure, your kidneys can’t recover, but you can slow its progression with the right treatment, unless you receive a kidney transplant.

If you have acute kidney failure, your kidneys will most likely recover and start to work again.

Following these tips can help you prevent kidney failure or slow its progression. The most important thing you can do is manage your diabetes and high blood pressure.

Living a healthy lifestyle by eating right, being active, and not smoking is another key to keeping your kidneys healthy.
