Caring for Your Kidney Health​
At Advanced Kidney Care, we are committed to empowering our patients with the knowledge and resources they need to manage their kidney health effectively. Our comprehensive educational materials and support services are designed to help you understand and take control of your kidney health.
Preventing and Managing Kidney Disease
Your kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood, producing urine, and balancing your body’s electrolytes. They also play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, producing hormones that manage red blood cell production, and maintaining overall fluid balance. Common kidney diseases include chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), glomerulonephritis, and kidney stones. Early detection and management are key to preventing progression to more severe conditions.
Diet
Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Limit salt and sugar. Our dietician can create a personalized meal plan.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. Engage in regular physical activity to improve overall health.
Excercise
Engage in regular physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, to maintain a healthy weight and improve cardiovascular health.
Medications
Take prescribed medications as directed to control blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
Hydration
Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys function properly.
Regular Checkups
Schedule regular check-ups to monitor kidney function and catch issues early. Keep appointments with your nephrologist to adjust treatment as needed.
