 Chronic kidney disease is as common as 1 in 10 persons worldwide.  And almost always silent in the early and even middle stages of the illness.  But, you can know it if you test.

 

 

And Early Detection and correct response make a whole world of difference. So, step 1, get a lab  test. Go to your family doctor.  

Caring for your kidney can be a step toward caring for environment, too.  Excessive protein can be harmful to the body, and excessive demand of animal protein also drives up animal husbandry which stresses the environment, beside putting on stress to the kidneys of the consumers.  "Protein powders can be damaging when taken without professional medical guidance," said Dr Ravi Bansal, director of nephrology and kidney transplant medicine

There are 5 stages of chronic kidney disease.  One only needs to have dialysis when he/she gets to stage 5.

Of course, the nearer to stage 5, the effort required is greater.
