Chronic Kidney Disease
Healthy kidneys filter and eliminate waste from the blood. This includes all toxins that remain in the body after digestion, taking medications, and exposure to chemicals, which are then removed from your body through your urine. Kidneys also produce hormones that stimulate the production of red blood cells, as well as regulate your blood pressure and metabolism of calcium.
Kidney disease occurs when kidneys stop doing their regular functions. It could be the result of traumatic injury, inadequate blood flow, severe dehydration, pregnancy complications, sepsis, an enlarged prostate, urine backup, or an autoimmune disorder — which may cause waste products and toxins build up in your body. Symptoms that this is occurring include:
Weakness
Shortness of breath
Nausea
Swollen ankles
Sleeping difficulties
Left untreated, kidney disease can lead to complications — such as renal failure. In some cases, renal failure can result in death. If you think you may have kidney disease, it’s important to seek treatment to prevent complications.
