You might have kidney disease without even knowing it. Recent estimates have suggested that approximately 10 million people over the age of 12 have the disease and many more cases are being detected every day.



It is important to check up with a doctor, because most symptoms to Chronic Kidney Disease are not visible. Some people carry on for years without even knowing that they have a problem. On your own, you can keep an eye out for changes in your body and behaviour. Having a difficult time urinating, or urinating blood or darker urine can be a warning sign. As well, pay attention to greater amounts than usual, and foamy or bubbly urine, other things to look for are swelling in the legs, ankles, feet, face, hands, fatigue, skin rashes, nausea, 'ammonia breath', shortness of breath, feeling cold, dizziness, trouble concentrating and leg pain.



If you are concerned about kidney disease it is important to maintain a healthy diet. Incorporate plenty of fruits, vegetables and legumes as well as grain-based breads, rice, pasta, noodles and small amounts of lean meat. Try to cut back on dairy, as well as fatty and salty foods. Drink plenty of water and maintain a healthy weight by eating moderate portions and getting some exercise. As well, it is important to cut back on drinking to one or two drinks a day if you are a male, and one drink a day if you are a female. Cut out smoking altogether and have your blood pressure checked frequently.



Antihypertensives are often used to treat the high blood pressure associated with chronic kidney disease. Although they cannot reverse the affects, they can slow the progression of the disease by reducing blood pressure. Examples of antihypertensives are angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium channel blockers, diuretics and beta-blockers.
