I am so sorry for you to be diagnosed with the stage 5 CKD, and you maybe are
receiving the dialysis. and I know you never give up to reverse the stage 5 CKD
even you are in the dialysis. the following information must can help you a
lot.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a disease whereby the kidneys have trouble
removing waste products and fluid from the body. Usual causes of CKD include
Diabetes Mellitus, high blood pressure and chronic glomerulonephritis. People
with CKD often have no symptoms although the kidney function is severely
affected.
With chronic kidney disease (CKD), the kidneys don't usually fail all at
once. Instead, kidney disease often progresses slowly over a period of years.
This is good news because if CKD is caught early, medicines and lifestyle
changes can possibly help delay disease progression.
CKD stages
To help improve the quality of care for people with kidney disease, the
National Kidney Foundation (NKF) created guidelines to help doctors classify
different stages of kidney disease so that treatment strategies can be better
tailored to their needs. Patients at each of the five stages of CKD require
different tests and treatments.
NKF guidelines define the stages of CKD based on measured or estimated
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and corresponding decline in kidney
function.
· See a nephrologist. MD physicians specialize in kidney disease
(Nephrologists) can use their expertise to help preserve your kidney function
for as long as possible as well as keeping you healthy. For more information on
treatment options, including dialysis, see My Plan.
· Consult a dietitian. Once you begin dialysis, you will need to make changes
in what you eat and drink. Your diet is a big part of your treatment, so you
will be working with a dietitian who can recommend a meal plan individualized
for your needs. See our nutritional tips for more ideas on how to plan your
daily diet.
· Keeping your glucose level under control and maintain a healthy blood
pressure. Many people who develop chronic kidney disease have diabetes or high
blood pressure. You will feel better if you keep your glucose levels under
control and maintain a healthy blood pressure. If you are prescribed medication,
take it exactly as directed by your doctor.
· Make healthy choices. It's important to eat well, exercise regularly, and
quit smoking to keep yourself as healthy as possible. Just as important,
managing stress and taking the time to relax will help you live life to the
fullest.
If you have the faith to fight with the stage 5 CKD and the dialysis, you
must can live a better life. If you want to know more information about the CKD,
