DIETARY MANAGEMENT FOR KIDNEY HEALTH AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

Chronic kidney disease means that your kidneys are progressively losing their function over a long period of time. This damage can cause waste building up in your body, anaemia, and bone disease.

Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or family history of kidney failure are the risk factors for chronic kidney disease. The longer you have had high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease, the higher chance that you will have kidney disease. 

When you progressively lose your kidney function, you may experience symptoms such as dry and itchy skin, tired, headache, poor appetite, muscle cramps at night, swollen feet and ankles, nausea, vomiting, trouble concentrating, just to name a few.
