Vera and chronic kidney disease
The kidneys: these are a pair of a brownish bean like shaped
organs that are delicate, complex and very important to normal body
functioning. They lie just in the middle back which they are located on the
either sides of the spine.
Basic Functions of the kidney:
- - Removal of toxic waste from the body which are passed out as urine
- - Production of some important hormones such as hormones that help in the regulation of calcium absorption and food phosphorus, hormones that helps the stimulation of bone marrows in the production of red blood cells, also another hormone which regulates the pressure of blood and blood volume.
- - Regulation of some vital minerals such as calcium, potassium and sodium.
What is chronic kidney disease?
Chronic kidney disease can be understand to be the gradual
loss of proper functioning of the kidney over time due to one thing or the
other that will eventually lead to permanent kidney failure if proper care is
not taken.
In the United States, young adults and above (20 years and
above) are presently having kidney disease. These young adults and above,
account for over 15 per cent but less than 18 per cent of the total population
of USA. In the USA, 1 in 6 persons has kidney disease. Also in UK, 1 in 5 people
have kidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is much more common among the
elderly (60 years and above), this may be associated with some diseases and
conditions that plague the old age. Some diseases and conditions boost up the
chances of having chronic kidney disease. Presently, over 490000 people are on dialysis.
Kidney disease can be diagnosed through Urine test, Blood
test, X-rays, Ultrasound scan, and biopsy.
Stages of Chronic kidney disease in brief:
a.
Stage 1: over 2 % but less than 3.8 %. This is
characterized by a minimal kidney damage and there is either an increase or
decrease in toxic waste or unwanted material filtration from the body
b.
Stage 2: Account for over 3.8 % but less than
4.2%: characterized by more than minimal decrease in the function of the kidney
c.
Stage 3: accounts for over 6.9 to 7.6%:
characterized by a moderate decrease in the functions of the kidney. Here there
will be some noticeable symptoms
d.
Stage 4: accounts for 0.5%: it is characterized
by a significantly severe decrease in the functions of the kidney.
e.
Stage 5: accounts for 0.5: this is when there is
total kidney failure. Dialysis is the option pending the time for a kidney
transplant.
Symptoms of chronic kidney disease:
Like cancer and some diseases like diabetes, symptoms may
not occur until the diseases has reached there advanced stages. This is also
common with chronic kidney disease because the disease will progress without
the sufferer having any known symptoms until there is a chance for kidney

disease is well advancing. But the following are common symptoms which are
related to the coming of kidney failure or having chronic kidney disease.

wrong with you and the damages the disease has done to your body and other
parts. But when you see the above symptoms, then you should know that you must
see your doctor immediately.
Risk factors of chronic kidney disease:
- - High blood pressure: high blood pressure makes the heart to work extra hard and could over time damage the blood vessels in the body and likewise the blood vessels located in the kidney. Best is to treat high blood pressure. See High blood pressure

Simple ways to treat chronic kidney disease before it reaches kidney failure:
I can remember the time one of my aunts was diagnosed of
chronic kidney disease, and the doctor told her to go through proper diets and
eliminating some certain diets. This are the list of what the doctor said she
should not eat and eat and I am so sure it apply to other people suffering from
chronic kidney disease:
- - Reducing intake of protein per day.
- - Staying away from salt or little amount of salt to add tiny taste to it. Or if probably, stay away from salt completely.
- - Stay away from banana, oranges, nut and potatoes because these natural foods are high in potassium and the kidney being diseased cannot remove excess potassium in the body
- - Restriction from taking too much of water
- - Stay away or reduce drastically your intake of, cola drinks, and dietary products
- - If you are a smoker, stop it immediately
- - Are you over-weighting? Start good exercise and other ways to reduce your weight. See obesity and weight management
- - Stay away from uses of aspirin and ibuprofen or any drugs related to anti-inflammatory
- - Do you have ulcer? reduce some of its medication
- - Taking aloe vera
Please see your doctor or health care provider to give you
medical information as regards medical treatments. Medical treatments helps to
treat the triggers of chronic kidney disease, slow it advancement, kidney
replacement in case of kidney failure, dialysis and treatment of complications.
Aloe Vera and Chronic Kidney Disease:
See your doctor before taking or ordering aloe vera juice to
improve chronic kidney disease condition.
According to a study in the edition of ‘’Indian Journal Of
experimental Biology,’’ aloe vera extract protected the kidneys of rats from
significant degenerative effects associated with type 2 diabetes. These
degenerative effects were diminished in the kidney tissue of diabetic animals
given aloe vera leaf gel.
Also is the testimony of a 52 years old woman diagnosed of
stage 3 chronic kidney disease and after the use of aloe vera juice, she
started seeing some changes and better results. ''
Aloe vera is a powerful herbal plant. You have to consider
the specie have before taking it. Some aloe vera specie causes liver failure,
ulcer and help to boost some diseases, while only one out of all the aloe vera
species is 100 per cent perfect and medicinal without no side effects. It is
the Aloe Vera barbadensis milla specie. See all the benefits of aloe vera

In conclusion, chronic kidney disease is preventable like
most other diseases. Our body is just as delicate as our latest car we just
bought, and even more than delicate than that. Some people on dialysis cannot
drive their cars. What I am saying here is that most people still don’t take
care of their body now a days not until the urgent need arises. Our body is
like a car we must check the oils, gas and other parts to enjoy it very well.
Take care of your body and stay well, healthy and beautiful.

Can I take aloe Vera even when I am in stage 5 of Ckd,
ReplyDeleteYes you can. But not just any type of aloe vera, but the barbadensis milla specie type of aloe vera because it is the only type that has little or no side effect on the body. However, taking aloe vera will help speed up healing and recovery, but will not help the failed kidney. When transplant is done, it can really help. But make sure you also seek your doctor's advice.
