The kidneys are two organs located on side of your spinal cord in the middle of backabove the waist. They clean  blood by removing waste and excess ╣uid and maintainthe balance of salt and minerals in blood and helps to regulate bloodpressure. When kidneys get damaged waste products and ╣uid can build up in thebody causing kidney failure and other diseases like acute kidney injury and chronickidney disease. Chronic kidney disease is also called chronic kidney failure. It causesthe loss of kidney functioning. When the disease is in advanced stage excess amount of╣uid, electrolytes and wastes build up in the body. About 26 million adults have chronickidney disease and millions of others are at increased r isk.

Chronic Kidney Disease TestsBlood t est s – Kidney function tests look for the level of waste products, such as

creatinine and urea in blood.

Ur ine t est s – A sample of your urine is tested for abnormalities that causes chronic

kidney failure and helps identify exact cause of chronic kidney disease.

Im aging t est s – An ultrasound is taken to ╢nd  your kidneys’ structure and size.

Kidney biopsy – A Kidney biopsy is done with local anesthesia using a long, thin

needle that is inserted through skin into kidney. This sample is sent to a lab for

testing to determine the cause of kidney problem.

Chronic Kidney Disease TreatmentCont r ol of blood glucose – Controlling diabetes (http:/ /www.lloydhealthcare.org

/diabetes-mellitus-types-causes-symptoms-tests-treatment/ ) is important. People

with diabetes who do not control blood glucose have a much higher r isk of chronic

kidney disease.

Cont r ol of h igh blood pressure – This also slows progression of chronic kidney

disease. It is recommended to keep blood pressure below 130/80 mm Hg if one has

kidney disease. It is often useful to monitor blood pressure

(http:/ /www.lloydhealthcare.org/hypertension-high-blood-pressure-symptoms-

treatment/ ) at home. Blood pressure medications like angiotensin converting

enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) are recommended

in protecting the kidneys.

Dialysis – It arti╢cially removes waste products and extra ╣uid from blood when

kidneys can no longer do this. In hemodialysis a machine ╢lters waste and excess

╣uids from blood. In peritoneal dialysis a thin tube (catheter) inserted into your

abdomen ╢lls your abdominal cavity with a dialysis solution that absorbs waste and

excess ╣uids. After a period of time the dialysis solution drains from body carrying

the waste with it.

Kidney t r ansplant – It involves surgically placing a healthy kidney from a donor

into your body. Transplanted kidneys can come from deceased or living donors.

You will need to take medications for rest of life.
