Sex and Kidney Failure - What are the symptoms of kidney disease? Approach 1

Sex and Kidney Failure




I'm Gabe Garza with today's health news. New
research suggest, women may have benefits
when it comes to kidney health. Researchers
found that female hormones affect important
kidney enzymes. The scientists think that
these changes may have a protective effect
against kidney disease. The kidneys remove
excess water and waste products from the body.
However, 26 million Americans suffer from
chronic kidney disease, according to the National
Kidney Center. Previous research has indicated
differences in kidney failure between men
and women. Men are more likely to have high
blood pressure and chronic kidney disease
than pre-menopausal women of the same age.
Researchers found that during ovulation and
the menstrual period, two enzymes in the kidneys
were slightly elevated. Their theory is that
since female hormones cause physical changes
in the ovaries and uterus, the hormones may
have similar effects in the kidneys. These
hormones might cause kidney cells to regenerate.

What are the symptoms of kidney disease? Approach 1




>> A doctor speaks with a patient in his office.
>> What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
>> Chronic kidney disease is what we
sometimes call the silent disease.
>> Uhmm-hmm.
>> And what that means is, is
that most people have no symptoms.
They don't feel any way until
the disease is pretty advanced.
For that reason, we need to do routine
testing in people at risk to identify patients
with kidney disease because that
allows us to identify the patients
and to begin treating early
in the course of disease.
