Did you know that in renal failure, also known as kidney failure, the kidneys lose their ability to filter waste from the blood? 💚

If left untreated, this can lead to a dangerous buildup of waste, which can be life-threatening. Following-up on this month's infographic series, we further share and discuss other symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), raising awareness and encouraging action.

*****************************************
✅ #03/07: FOAMY / BLOOD in URINE
*****************************************

It is a fact that damaged kidney filters can cause blood cells to leak into urine. This normally remains in the body during waste filtration. The blood presence may indicate disease, tumors, kidney stones, or an infection. 🩸

On the other hand, excessive and persistent bubbles in urine, often requiring multiple flushes to clear, suggest the presence of protein. This foamy appearance can resemble that of scrambled eggs because albumin, a common protein found in urine, is also present in eggs.

*******************************************
✅ #04/07: URINATING FREQUENTLY
*******************************************

An increased urge to urinate, particularly at night, can indicate kidney disease, as damaged kidney filters may lead to more frequent urination.

Moreover, this symptom may also be a sign of a urinary tract infection ( ) or, in men, an enlarged prostate.

Kidney disease is often silent, leading to significant function loss without symptoms. If you experience any, immediately consult a doctor for early diagnosis and treatment.🧑‍⚕️

It is undeniable that our kidneys have many essential roles for our body. This includes filtering blood, eliminating toxins, waste products, and excess fluid through urine, among other critical functions. 💚

In this month's infographic series, we take a proactive stance on identifying if we, or our loved ones, may have issues - moreso a Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), ahead of time. Entitled "Symptoms of CKD," we discuss the various symptoms associated with it.

*******************************************************
✅ #01/07: CONCENTRATION / SLEEP TROUBLE
*******************************************************

If kidney function is severely impaired, toxins and impurities may build up in the blood. As a result, individuals may experience fatigue, weakness, and reduced cognitive function.

To add, when kidneys fail to filter properly, toxins remain in the bloodstream instead of being eliminated through urine, which can disrupt sleep.

Furthermore, there is a notable connection between obesity, , and sleep apnea, with the latter being more prevalent in individuals with kidney ailments.

****************************
✅ #02/07: PUFFY EYES
****************************

The presence of protein in the urine is often an early indicator of kidney damage, suggesting that the kidneys' filters are allowing protein to leak into the urine. This condition can be made visible through the symptom of puffy eyes.

Puffiness around the eyes can occur because the kidneys are losing a significant amount of protein into the urine instead of retaining it in the body.If puffiness around your eyes persists, it's important to seek medical advice and have your kidneys examined.🧑‍⚕️

If you have a problem with your kidneys, it's important to follow a healthy eating plan! 💚

Watching your diet and fluid intake is important because an ailing kidney may not effectively eliminate waste. A healthy eating plan will help you maintain your health by focusing on key elements such as:consuming the appropriate amount and type of protein, selecting healthy fats, choosing whole grain carbohydrates, and managing your calorie intake. 🍊

While your healthy eating plan may change depending on the stage of your kidney illness, it will always ensure you get the right balance of key nutrients. Don't forget to consult with your dietitian to create a personalized healthy eating plan! 🧑‍⚕️

Demystifying Ketoanalogues

Are you curious about (CKD) and Ketoanalogues? Here is some basic information about ketoanalogues and it can help people with CKD.

What are Ketoanalogues?

are nitrogen-free analogs of essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. These play an integral role of building and repairing of body tissues, in the formation and function of enzymes, food digestion, hormone regulation among others.*

How are ketoanalogues different from amino acids?

Ketoanalogues are part-amino acid except that these don’t have the nitrogen subunit. This nitrogen can build-up in the body and cause oxidative stress in the kidneys.**

Are these related to ketogenic diet?

No. The keto fad diet talks about the process of ketosis. Ketosis is when your body uses fat instead of carbohydrates for your metabolism.**

What is its significance?

The use of ketoanalogues in association with a low or very low protein dietary intake allows a considerable reduction in the protein intake which then decreases glomerular hyperfiltration which halts the progression of renal failure and improves its prognosis.***

Ketoanalogues when added with low protein diet decreases the risk for long-term dialysis by 46%, and reduces the risk to develop advanced stage of by 51%.****

Mechanism of Action:

Ketoanalogues remove the nitrogen subunit from non-essential amino acids, thereby decreasing the formation of urea. Therefore, halting the progress of renal decline.*****

Side Effects:

Hypercalcemia (increased serum calcium in blood) may develop. It is recommended to decrease vitamin D intake while taking this supplement.*****
