It is interesting to know that nearly 786,000people in the United States are living with (ESRD) also known as End stage kidney disease, with 71% on dialysis and 29% with a kidney transplant not to talk of the percentage of people in the world. Here are some helpful tips to keep your kidney active and reduce your chances of getting dialysis
LOSE WEIGHT IF YOU ARE OVERWEIGHT
When someone is overweight the kidney tends to work harder in filtering waste products above normal level which acts as stress to the kidneys. So continuous workout to lose weight helps the body to lose these weight through other parts of the body aside the kidneys.
QUIT SMOKING
Smoking is a very dangerous act which also affects the kidney by reducing the rate at which blood flows to the kidney which can result in hypertension ( increasing the pressure at which the heart pumps blood) causing the arteries to be hardened.
REGULAR EXERCISE
Performing exercises regularly keeps the kidney more active. Scientifically, performing strenuous activities reduces effective renal plasma flow. Exercise also helps by improving muscle function, lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol e.t.c
TAKING THE RIGHT MEDICATIONS AS ASKED BY YOUR DOCTOR
Apart from all these I just mentioned, taking medications at the prescribed time by your doctor can also help in reducing the risk of dialysis.
Dialysis can be contained and even prevented if these safety measures are taken.
