How do you check for kidney disease? - Kidney Diet

How do you check for kidney disease?




A doctor speaks with a patient in his office.
How do you check for kidney disease?
We routinely check for chronic kidney disease with two tests, a blood test and a urine test.
The blood test measures how well the kidneys are filtering the blood and that's called the GFR.
A GFR above 60 is considered normal.The GFR below 60 may mean that you have chronic kidney disease.
The urine test measures protein in the urine.Protein is a component of the blood which doesn't normally pass
through the kidney filter into the urine.If we detect protein in the urine it
means the kidney filter is damaged and may reflect chronic kidney disease.

Kidney Diet




I everybody my name is zach parks and I
appreciate
you taking the time to spend a few
minutes with me on this kidney diet video
if you're like me and you have some
issues with your kidneys you're probably
on the internet looking for information
that's what I did when I first learned
that I had kidney cancer back in the
year two thousand
I learned that there's a lot of bad information on
the internet as you've probably already
know
but there's also a lot of good
information on the Internet and I have
spent literally
days and months searching the internet for
information on kidney diet and what you can do
to improve your kidney health and I have
found a resource that I
attribute a lot to the improvement and
health for my kidneys and I hope that
you'll feel the same way when I show you
this resource. but before I do that
wanna take a minute can actually show
you my lab results
and how they actually improve after I
started making some lifestyle changes
that were detailed in this resource and
I'll show you in just a few minutes
let me log into my account Kaiser
obviously I'm
blaring out my personal information and
I'm gonna show you my lab results
and I think you'd be pretty impressed
with what you see
wanna go out to medical record hey we're
gonna look for test results
the result is you see listed here
are test that had been ordered
by my doctor back and now started
ordering them back in 2003 when I first
joined a
Kaiser and most to these test here are
all to track the health the ones kidney
but the most important however is the
carafe to mean
hand what the medical riff community
refers to as the G
F our rate so crap to mean and GFR
are the two most important indicators in
terms of love
telling you what to cure huck health
have your kidneys are
so let's take a look at my pass results
we're gonna graph the results by
clicking right there
and with Corey at name
you want a number that is going down not
up
and I think about 1.3 or lowers actually
normal
%ah minus high on what probably always
be high because remember I have one
kidney
so right here you'll see that the
function unfortunately
started to go up the craft a name I Inc
all the way up to 177 back in May of
last year
and that is when I started making some
lifestyle changes
a sense that time I've sad 26 March
checkups
and you seen a good decrease to make
reaction team down to 166
and then a further drop and April a
flash
this year down to 161 now as I said
earlier
or maybe I didn't but I had my kidney
remove one kidney that was cancerous
removed in the year two thousand
not this is the lowest ebb make a rat in
the in has
ever band a so I'm very pleased with
that 161
I'll probably never get it down to a
normal level was someone that has two
kidneys
but if I can keep it right here or maybe
lower which is which I really am
striving for
I'm going to be very happy with the
result
let's go back and look at the GFR which
is the other important indicator
ample traffic ka
graph that one as well for you now the
case that EGFR
hi this is a good indicator of how well
your kidneys are
a functioning and you want this number
to increase
well you can see back in 2010 it started
to go down
from 43 down the 42
down again the 41 had stayed the same
for six months
then it dropped all the way to 39 this
was not good information because I had
love no one kidney as I said
and you want this to increase I was
concerned at this time
my doctor was as well are so I really
started to make
lifestyle changes this is the same time
frame that I told you about
%ah in the other graft and as you can
see when I made those changes my gf are
improve from 39 all the way up to 42
and then improved again up to 43 in
April
have this year so again a dramatic
increase
and I i have every confidence that that
I can I see this increase up to here
up to here maybe even further I if I
continue with a good kidney diet and
implementing a lifestyle changes said
that I've made
over the last a year or so
okay so let me log off here
and let me show you the resource and I
found and I think you're
going to be quite pleased I when you see
how easy it is to obtain
and what it can actually do for you the
