Managing Kidney Disease Without Dialysis
Kidney disease occurs when the kidneys become damaged and can't filter waste and extra fluids from the blood properly. If left untreated, it can lead to end-stage kidney disease, where treatments like dialysis or a kidney transplant may be necessary.
However, for individuals with mild or moderate kidney disease, it is often possible to manage the condition without needing dialysis. By making healthy lifestyle changes and following a doctor's advice, it is possible to protect the kidneys and improve quality of life.
Dietary Changes
One of the most crucial steps in managing kidney disease is changing your diet. Consuming foods that are gentle on the kidneys helps reduce their workload. A significant part of this is lowering the amount of sodium (salt) in your meals.
Too much salt makes it harder for the kidneys to control blood pressure and can lead to fluid buildup in the body.This extra fluid puts more strain on the kidneys.
