Yes, here are the few reasons that beer can be healthy, if taken in the right amount and quantity.   In comparison to other alcoholic beverages , beer is relatively healthier for your kidneys. As a matter of fact, studies show that a bottle of beer can actually reduce the risk of acquiring kidney stones by up to 40%. Fiber, as we all know, plays a vital role in digestion. The presence of up to one gram of soluble fiber in just a 30 ml glass of beer (dark beer, in particular) makes the beverage very beneficial for digestion. Fiber present in beer can also help reduce the level of LDL cholesterol (a harmful proponent of cholesterol). It has been proved that beer is a rich source of various B vitamins like vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. The presence of both nicotinic acid and Lactoflavin in beer makes it an effective cure for insomnia. Beer is also helpful in the prevention of blood clots. The presence of high levels of silicon in beer is responsible for bestow...

With diabetes, the small blood vessels in the body are injured. When the blood vessels in the kidneys are injured, your kidneys cannot clean your blood properly. Your body will retain more water and salt than it should, which can result in weight gain and ankle swelling. You may have protein in your urine. Also, waste materials will build up in your blood. Diabetes also may cause damage to nerves in your body. This can cause difficulty in emptying your bladder. The pressure resulting from your full bladder can back up and injure the kidneys. Also, if urine remains in your bladder for a long time, you can develop an infection from the rapid growth of bacteria in urine that has a high sugar level. Early signs of kidney disease in patients with diabetes: The earliest sign of diabetic kidney disease is an increased excretion of albumin in the urine. This is present long before the usual tests done in your doctor's office show evidence of kidney disease, so it is important for y...

Being overweight can directly affect your kidneys, too. Extra weight forces the kidneys to work harder and filter wastes above the normal level. Over time, this extra work increases the risk for kidney disease. Recent research shows that weight control may also preserve kidney function, and that it can also help improve heart health. Losing as little as 10 pounds can help control high blood pressure and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease . Obesity is a potent risk factor for the development of kidney disease. It increases the risk of developing major risk factors for chronic kidney disease (CKD), like diabetes and hypertension , and it has a direct impact on the development of CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Moreover, obesity causes kidney disease in CKD and can also accelerate the loss of kidney function in patients with various primary renal diseases and decompensated renal function, such as IgA glomerulonephritis, kidney transplantation and diabetic nephropath...

Diets high in salt are high in sodium, which can increase blood pressure and, in turn, harm your kidneys.   People should consume around 2300 mg to maintain healthy blood pressure. For individuals with kidney disease or high blood pressure, 1500 mg may be more appropriate. Speak with your healthcare team to determine how much sodium is safe for you. The sodium and fluid can build up in your body, causing your blood pressure to rise and increasing damage to your kidneys. If you have CKD or require dialysis , your doctor or your renal dietitian may advise you to follow a low-sodium diet that includes limiting salt and other sodium-containing ingredients. It is found that rock salt, commonly known as Sendha Namak is best suited for patients suffering from kidney disease. Our experimental results demonstrate that  Saindha salt (commonly known as rock salt)  is more beneficial than other edible salts for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease . High dietary salt ...

Virtual cross transplantation of kidney may safe and effective way to the patient, this is the process of two years implementation. This is technique was just accurate and sensitive to cross match the physically and internally body balance. The present standard of the medical field to virtual cross matching to reduced the time of transplantation and also keep awaiting identification of suitable and improved scheduling for  surgeons . The immune system of the organ donor and an intended compatibility as blood donor, the main important role plays the blood while transplantation. Therefore the virtual transplantation of the kidney applies the recipients serum of the micro beads that detects signals process which does not reveal donor and receiver an actual reaction between donor and receiver can specialized to anti-react bodies can may also react The process of this reaction forecast the death of the patient. Whenever the physical mismatch of the donor and receiver may causes the side...

Renal replacement therapy (RRT) is the therapy that follows normal blood-filtering function of the kidneys. It is used once the kidneys don't seem to be operating well that is termed as renal failure and it includes acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. Renal replacement medical aid includes dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis), hemofiltration, and hemodiafiltration that measure numerous ways of filtration of blood with or with not machines. Renal replacement medical aid conjointly includes kidney transplantation, which is the final variety of replacement in this; the previous kidney is replaced by a donor kidney. Renal replacement therapy is indicated, when the kidney briefly or persistently loses its function to remove toxins, metabolites , and water from the body. It is also used in some specific cases of poisoning/overdose when the kidney cannot clear the toxin fast enough. There are three main modalities used to replace the renal function: dialysis (eith...

Dialysis  is the process of removing excess water and toxins from the blood of the patients. whose kidneys can no longer perform. Appropriately, kidneys forestall additional water, squander, and different pollutants from aggregating in your body. They likewise assist in control of blood pressure and direct the degrees of substance components in the blood. These components may incorporate sodium and potassium. Your kidneys even enact a type of vitamin D that improves the ingestion of calcium.  At certain point when your kidneys can't play out these capacities because of ailment or injury, dialysis can help keep the body running under certain circumstances. Without dialysis, salts and other waste items will amass in the blood, poison the body, and harm different organs.  Most people are suffering from kidney disease and one million people die every year because of kidney disease. It has been found that every year   approximately 17500 people suffer from the end st...

Kidney stones form when your urine contains more crystal-forming substances such as calcium, oxalate and uric acid than the fluid in your urine can dilute. At the same time, your urine may lack substances that prevent crystals from sticking together, creating an ideal environment for kidney stones to form. Possible causes include drinking too little water, exercise (too much or too little), obesity , weight loss surgery, or eating food with too much salt or sugar. Infections and family history might be important in some people. Eating too much fructose correlates with increasing risk of developing a kidney stone. Kidney stones are usually found in the kidneys or in the ureter, the tube that connects the kidneys to your bladder. They can be extremely painful, and can lead to kidney infections or the kidney not working properly if left untreated. It is important to be mindful of the following foods that can lead to the formation of kidney stones in certain people: foods high in sodi...

Artificial kidney is made up of a semi-permeable membrane which allows only selected particles to pass through. This semi-permeable membrane filters out the waste materials and excess water from the blood. Every dialyzer /artificial kidney has 2 compartments, in one compartment blood flows whereas in other compartment electrolyte solution flows which we call as “Dialysate”. The semi-permeable membrane keeps the 2 compartments apart. The membrane and the compartments are housed in a cylindrical plastic case which holds the artificial kidney together and forms pathways for blood and dialysate to flow in and out. How does Artificial Kidney work? During dialysis treatment, the patient’s bl ood with a high level of water and waste materials flows through the blood compartment. Dialysate an electrolyte solution flows through the dialysate compartment on the other side of the membrane. The semi-permeable membrane allows only selective particles to pass through it so the majority of exc...

Now-a-days we are sitting in our homes surrounded by snacks eating all the day. Sugar intake will be large these days to manage the effects of that sugar, there is an important habit we should adopt is: “Drinking plenty of water”. Especially under our current circumstances drinking water is a must. As we know that excess intake of sugar leads to disorders like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and inflammation. Water is vital for our health, for example flies will be fed by more sugar diet which increases metabolic diseases and they would die. But if flies are fed a high-sugar diet and by providing them an extra source of water to drink, surprisingly they did not show a reduced lifespan. In humans and flies the uric acid is the waste product and the breakdown of compounds called purines. Purines are the building blocks in DNA of all plants and animals. The purine breakdown in the blood is a sign of health troubles like heart diseases, and even stones formation in the kidneys. So wat...

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is a newly discovered infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome, primarily manifesting as an acute respiratory illness with interstitial and alveolar pneumonia, but it can affect multiple organs such as the  kidney , heart, digestive tract, blood, and nervous system. COVID-19 is more contagious than others, spreads by human-to-human transmission via droplets, fecal, or direct contact, and has an incubation period estimated at 1 to 14 days (usually 3 to 7 days) Coronavirus disease has been reported in all ages, including children. The majority of infections are mild, presenting with a flu-like illness. The common clinical presentations of COVID-19 are fever (98%), cough (76%), and myalgia and fatigue (18% each), 6  with accompanying leucopenia (25%) and lymphopenia (63%). Symptoms of upper respiratory infection with rhinorrhea and productive cough are uncommon, except in children. Acute kidney injury (AKI) developed in 5% to 15%...

Our bodies have a variety of ways for eliminating harmful metabolites and wastes. But what if the body's ability to remove toxic substances is compromised? This could result in excessive creatinine levels, which could lead to serious consequences. Creatinine is a by-product of muscle metabolism and a metabolic product of creatine . Creatine is an important chemical that aids in energy synthesis and enhances workout performance. Creatinine is converted to about 2% of your body's creatine and transferred to your kidneys via the circulation. The majority of creatinine is filtered out by your kidneys and excreted through urine. Low urine creatinine levels can indicate high blood creatinine levels, which might be concerning in some instances. Ideal Creatinine Levels: ·          0.9 to 1.3 mg/dl in adult males ·          0.7-1.1 mg/dl in adult females ·          ...

Turmeric has been utilized in traditional eastern medicine for its medicinal properties for a long time. Turmeric's major bioactive component, curcumin, is an anti-inflammatory antioxidant with significant antioxidant effects. While turmeric and curcumin are typically safe to ingest, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Large amounts can harm your kidneys, which is one of the hazards. This is because too much curcumin can drastically raise urinary oxalate levels in the body, raising the risk of kidney stone development. What are turmeric's drawbacks? There are a number of other hazards associated with consuming too much curcumin, including: ·          Upset stomach, acid reflux, diarrhea, dizziness, and headaches are some of the mild adverse effects. ·          If you have a bleeding condition, turmeric should be avoided because it thins the blood. ·      ...
