What are kidney diseases?
Healthy kidneys are an emblem of healthy internal management of organs. The intact management signifies that your body is away from major diseases like kidney diseases. Kidneys are the major internal organs that are about the size of a fist and perform various functions in your body. The fundamental principles of the way kidneys function are Filter, Reabsorb and Eliminate. They are responsible for filtering waste products, excess fluids and rest impurities that are proven to be harmful to your body. Kidneys balance electrolytes and modulate the levels of PH, salts and potassium in your body. The hormones that maintain blood pressure and form red blood cells in your body are also produced by kidneys. They even initiate a type of vitamin D that helps in the absorption of calcium. If kidneys are the multitaskers that can handle so many duties in your body, it proves that any disease or medical health condition which damages kidneys can create a disbalance in your body.
Kidney disease is much more widespread than people realize. It can create a whole lot of complications for the kidneys. As a result, they can lose their ability to function normally. The abnormal function of the kidney can lead to other medical complications which can cause nerve damage, malnutrition and it can weaken your bones too. The progression of the damage can result in life-threatening conditions and lead kidneys to fail completely. This is called kidney failure or end stage renal disease (ESRD).
What are the signs and symptoms of Kidney disease?
One can have kidney disease for years because the symptoms only occur when the kidney damage has advanced to its extreme level. The symptoms that are stated below are a sign of danger as they are directly associated with kidney disease:

● Loss of appetite.
● Muscle cramps.
● Swelling in your feet and ankles.
● Puffiness around the eyes especially in the morning.

What are the types and causes of kidney disease?
Causes are the keys due to which the kidney disease spreads its maliciousness to the parts within kidneys. These are the types and causes of various kidney diseases.
● Chronic kidney disease: It is the most common kidney disease that has taken a toll on people’s lives as it is the gradual loss of kidney function which does not improve over time. High blood pressure is the common cause of chronic kidney disease.
● Polycystic kidney disease: It is an inherited kidney disorder that causes numerous cysts within the kidneys. These cysts are non-cancerous sacs filled with fluids that can interfere with normal kidney function and metastasize to the parts in kidneys and other surrounding organs too. It can be caused by the transfer of the defective gene that causes PKD to other generations.
● Glomerulonephritis: This condition causes severe inflammation of the glomeruli. Glomeruli are the tiny blood vessels that help in filtering the waste products and excess fluids out of the body. It can be caused by congenital abnormalities, infections or drugs.
● Kidney stones: It is a kidney-related issue that occurs when minerals and other substances in the blood crystallize within the kidneys. As a result formation of solid masses which are generally stones occurs.
● Urinary tract infections: Kidneys are a part of the urinary tract. However, some bacterial infections can invade the urinary tract and spread to the parts within the kidneys.
● High blood pressure and diabetes are the two of the most dangerous and common causes that can trigger kidney disease.
Elevated levels of blood pressure are dangerous for kidneys and increase the pressure on the glomeruli. The arteries surrounding the kidneys are also damaged by these increasing levels of blood pressure which can eventually cause kidney diseases like kidney failure or chronic kidney disease.
While diabetic medical diseases can cause high blood sugar which can damage the blood vessels of the kidneys. It can create obstructions for the kidney to function due to which poor filtration occurs and your body is overburdened by the toxins and deposits of waste products.
When to see the doctor?
If you are experiencing any of the signs and symptoms that signify major kidney disease. You must seek medical advice from your doctor and opt for the best treatment to get rid of the life-threatening kidney disease.
What is the best treatment for Kidney disease?
The fear of losing a kidney due to major kidney disease can instigate you to go for treatment options like dialysis or a renal transplant. Kidney function is like a machine, if one part is damaged and can't work properly then other functions of the kidney also face dire consequences. Allopathic treatment dialysis is the string of painful procedures which can create harmful impacts on your body. Dialysis can be a temporary option that can help in filtering the waste products but this artificial kidney is not a cure for your kidney disease. Allopathic antibiotics are a mix of drugs and harmful substances that can weaken your damaged immune system more.
