Treatment and Diet for Renal Disorders
Did you know that a significant number of people with mild or chronic kidney conditions are completely unaware of their disorder? The renal or kidney disorder is often referred to as a 'silent killer' that gradually develops over time, and in most cases, patients do not notice the early signs and symptoms of their condition.

Kidney disease, also known as renal disease, is a widespread health condition that is often undetected and undiagnosed until it is at an advanced stage. Kidney function drops to 25% of the normal before most people realize that they have kidney disease. As the disease progresses, it severely impairs the organ's function, leading to a dangerous buildup of fluid and waste in the body.
Regular kidney function checkups are crucial for people who suffer from or are at high risk of developing kidney disease; early detection can prevent serious kidney damage. Common symptoms of kidney disorders include high blood pressure, Diabetes Mellitus,Increased uric acid and creatinine in blood,blood in urine, and fatigue.
Patients with compromised kidney function need to follow a renal or kidney diet to reduce the amount of waste in their blood. Wastes in the blood come from the food and liquids that patients consume. When kidney function is compromised, the kidneys fail to filter or remove waste properly, leading to negative effects on the patient's electrolyte levels.
Following an appropriate kidney diet may also help promote kidney function and slow the progression of complete kidney failure. A renal diet is low in sodium, phosphorous, and protein. It emphasizes the importance of consuming high-quality protein and usually limits fluids, potassium and calcium intake. Since every person's body is different, it is crucial that each patient works with a renal dietitian to design a diet plan tailored to their specific needs.
