Kidney failure on the rise in UK and worldwide as families rely on processed foods – source of high cholesterol and diabetes since the cost of living crisis.

High blood pressure and diabetes are both believed to be not only poor diet related, but most importantly two most common causes of kidney failure medical experts reveal.  High energy bills put pressure on incomes: skipping meals and eating junk is the norm as prices soar to cruel levels.

 

According to Kidneys Care UK:“Around 3.5 million people in the UK have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) […] There are 40-45,000 premature deaths in the UK every year due to CKD […]”

Kidneys Care UK “Is UK’s leading kidney patient support charity that offers practical, emotional and financial help, and make sure no one faces kidney disease alone.

 

In Sub-Saharan Africa,  statistics on Chronic Kidney Disease raise concerns : it affects 12–23% adults and mostly in their young and productive age.

 

Kidneys are bean shaped and are around 10-12cm long (about the size of a clenched fist). One of the most important is helping our body eliminate toxins. Our kidneys filter around 180 litres of blood every day, and send waste products out of our body via urine.

On a bigger scale, the world latest epidemiology of Chronic Kidney Disease statics shows Chronic Kidney Disease is a progressive condition that affects >10% of the general population worldwide, amounting to >800 million individuals.

 

Latest statistics on food poverty in the UK, including food banks and free school meals reveal “More than 4.2 million people (6%) are in food poverty, including 9% of children.”

 

Famine is harming children’s life chances, limiting their opportunities, holding them back in education as well as leading to worse physical and mental health outcomes.

An estimated three billion people cannot afford healthier food choices.

 

The good news is that despite the cost of living crisis, it is never too late to start with healthy lifestyle pattern to prevent and or reverse the level of kidney failure.

Find below a list of common habits that you might not realise are destroying your kidneys. 

 

You are at risk if your lifestyle and eating patterns frequently involve:

 

Low fruit and vegetable intake

Linked to several forms of cancers, cardiovascular disease and stroke.

 

High sugar intake

Excess sugars may highly contribute to tooth decay, weight gain, overweight, obesity, as well as higher blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and some cancers.

 

High salt intake

It has been medically proven that high salt consumption increases blood pressure, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease and some cancers.

High trans fats intake

Linked to cardiovascular disease and stroke. Example of trans fats:  industrially baked foods, such as: cakes, cookies, pies, microwave popcorn, frozen pizza, refrigerated dough (biscuits and rolls), industrial French fries, doughnuts, fried chicken/ Non-dairy coffee creamer, stick margarine.

 

Low intake of fibres, grains, nuts, seeds, micronutrients

Linked to diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke, and some cancers.

 

Ultra-Processed Foods and beverage products: the source of kidney failure and most deadly diseases known to mankind.

 

Ultra-Processed Foods include ice cream, ham, sausages, crisps, mass-produced bread, breakfast cereals, biscuits, carbonated drinks, fruit-flavoured yogurts, instant soups, and alcoholic drinks such as: whisky, vodka, gin, and rum to list a few.

 

The following diseases have been clinically proven to be linked to poor diet and lifestyle

 

Overweight and obesity:

Associated with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke, cancers and resistance to the action of insulin.

 

Cardiovascular disease (heart disease) and stroke.

 

Type 2 diabetes and hypertension (high blood pressure).

 

Some cancers – including oesophageal cancer; tracheal, bronchus and lung cancer; lip and oral cavity cancer; nasopharynx cancer; colon and rectum.

What do the kidneys do? Useful facts about the kidneys according to the medical online thesaurus

 

Kidneys are bean shaped and are around 10-12cm long (about the size of a clenched fist).

 

  • Most people have two working kidneys – they lie under the ribs and above the waist (at the back), one on either side of the body.

 

It is believed one can live well with only one kidney as long as it is functioning correctly.

 

  • Kidneys have several functions. One of the most important is helping our body eliminate toxins. Our kidneys filter around 180 litres of blood every day, and send waste products out of our body via urine.

  • Kidneys help keep our bones strong and healthy by helping produce an active form of vitamin D.

  • When someone’s kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in their body, leading their blood pressure to rise, and their body may subsequently retain excess fluid, causing ankle swelling and shortness of breath due to water in the lungs.

 

  • When this happens, they need treatment to replace the natural functions of their failed kidneys.

  • Kidney disease is common, can affect anyone, and there is no cure. However, treatment may help relieve the symptoms and prevent it for getting worse

  • Kidney failure is fatal without dialysis or a transplant.

 

Control your sodium and fat daily intake by eating home cooked meals. Cutting out our sodium intake helps keeping our blood pressure under control. For that reason, it is crucial to ditch bad habit such as ordering take aways and eating at restaurants. Use spices, herbs, lemon, sodium-free seasonings. Choose reduced or low-sodium or salt-free food when you can. Always rinse canned foods thoroughly before eating, it helps remove excess sodium. The Bridge MAG. Image

The medical online thesaurus describes kidney failure as a condition in which one or both of your kidneys no longer work on their own.

 

Causes include diabetes, high blood pressure and acute kidney injuries.

 

Symptoms include fatigue, nausea and vomiting, swelling, changes in how often you go to the bathroom and brain fog.

Treatment includes dialysis or a kidney transplant.

 

Also known as the disease for the rich: so called as kidney failure is way too expensive for poor and or middle class people to even start to fund or afford a treatment.

 

 

If you include in your life continuous activity such as: walking, swimming, bicycling - indoors or out, skiing, aerobic dancing or any other activities which enable you to move large muscle groups continuously, this will prevent kidney diseases. Physical exercise also prevents risk factors for kidney disease, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiac conditions. The Bridge MAG. Image

The cost of a Private Dialysis treatment consultation without health insurance typically costs £200-£300 at a private hospital or clinic in the UK. 

 

Treatments usually last about four hours and are done three times per week. Some people may need more time for treatments based on their specific needs.

 

The indicative cost of a kidney transplant (including induction therapy but excluding NHSBT costs) is £17,000 per patient per transplant.

 

The immuno-suppression required by a patient with a transplant cost £5,000 per patient per year.

 

Limit your alcohol and cigarette intake Alcohol dehydrates, destroys your kidneys by preventing them from regulating your body’s water levels. Alcohol disables your liver function, which in turn may impact blood flow to the kidneys and lead to CKD in the long run. Heavy drinkers who also smoke have an even higher risk of kidney diseases.

BEWARE!!!

 

First warning signs of kidney failure and what to do:

 

Book an urgent appointment to see your GP once you, your child or a family member experience the first sign of kidney failure.

 

It is believed kidney failure symptoms vary from a person to another. Be that as it may, if your kidneys are not working properly, you may notice one or more of the following signs:

 

  • Fatigue (Extreme tiredness)

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Oedema (swelling specially around your hands, ankles or face.)

  • Confusion or trouble concentrating

  • Muscles spasms also known as cramps

  • Passing urine more often.

  • Poor appetite and or food may taste metallic.

  • Dry or itchy skin.

 

Drink enough water Keeping well hydrated enables your kidneys clear sodium and toxins from the body. Drinking plenty of water is mostly one of the best ways to avoid painful kidney stones. People with kidney problems or kidney failure may need to restrict their fluid intake, but for most people, drinking 1.5 to 2 litres (3 to 4 pints) of water per day is a healthy target.

How is your kidney health?

 

DO NOT

 

Overuse painkillers

 

Over the counter pain medicines, such as NSAIDs ( nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and Analgesics  are likely to alleviate your aches and pains, but they have been proven to harm human kidneys, especially if someone has  already been diagnose with  kidney disease. Cut down a regular use of NSAIDs and never go over the prescribed dosage.

 

Eat processed foods as your main dietary consumption

 

Processed foods are high in sodium and phosphorus. A myriad of people diagnose with kidney disease MUST limit phosphorus in their diets.

Medical studies have shown that high phosphorus intake in processed foods may also harm kidneys and bones of those with no prior kidney conditions.

 

Eat Meat in excess  

 

Although protein is needed for growth, upkeep and repair of all parts of human body, eating too much meat is bad as animal protein generates high amounts of acid in the blood that may   harm kidneys by causing acidosis – a condition in which kidneys cannot eliminate acid at a fast past. Human diet should be well balanced with fruits and vegetables.

 

Consume large quantity of foods high in sugar

 

Sugar contributes to obesity which increases human risk of developing high blood pressure and diabetes, two of the leading causes of kidney disease.

 

In addition to desserts, sugar is often added to foods and drinks that you may not consider “sweet.” Avoid condiments, breakfast cereals, and white bread which are all sneaky sources of processed sugar. Beware of the ingredients when buying packaged goods to avoid added sugar in your diet.

Sit still for long periods of time

 

Sitting still for long periods of time has now been linked to the development of kidney disease. Researchers think greater physical activity is associated with improved blood pressure and glucose metabolism are both important factors in kidney health. 

 

Our kidneys process everything we eat or drink, including anything that is unhealthy, such as: too much fat, salt, and sugar. In the long run, a bad diet may lead to high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and other conditions that weaken our kidneys.

 

Hence the emergency to take time to cook, store and eat healthy on a daily basis whilst we still have healthy kidneys.

 

 

Severe shortage of kidneys donors: when law and regulation step in: Kidneys for transplantation can come from living donors or deceased donors. To prevent harvesting and trafficking body organs, it is illegal since the dawn of time at around 1948 to buy a kidney or other organ for transplant hence the shortage The Bridge MAG. Image

Tips and useful advice to upgrade your diet and maintain kidney health. 

 

Below are 7 Medically and Scientifically reviewed Diet Tips to help Prevent or Manage Chronic Kidney Disease.

 

 

1.  Physical Exercise

 

If you include in your life continuous activity such as:  walking, swimming, bicycling – indoors or out, skiing, aerobic dancing or any other activities which enable you to move large muscle groups continuously, this will prevent kidney diseases.

Although not a cure for kidney disease, it has been scientifically proven that fitness can dramatically reduce further kidney damage by keeping the rest of the body functioning at peak and improving quality-of-life.

Physical exercise also prevents risk factors for kidney disease, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and cardiac conditions.

 

2. Portion your plate and be mindful of your protein daily intake.

 

Certified dieticians STRONGLY advice a half of our plate fill with vegetables and fruits, one-quarter with lean protein, and one-quarter with whole grains.

 

Although protein is crucial for a healthy diet, eating more protein than your body need may put extra weight and pressure on your kidneys to work harder. Your Doctors usually recommend a lower-protein diet if you already have CKD.

 

People with any stage of CKD who are not already on dialysis must limit their protein intake to 0.6 to 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight to prevent kidney disease progression. Doctors and certified dieticians strongly recommend fish, skinless poultry, lean meat.

 

Dairy (one portion size of yogurt and milk is ½ cup, while one portion of cheese is 1 ounce — about the size of your two thumbs together)

 

Beans, chickpeas, lentils, peas (one portion is ½ cup)

Nuts (one portion is ¼ cup)

 

 

Although it is illegal to buy a kidney or other organ for transplant, a new study shows that the organ transplant system benefits the wealthiest patients rather than the sickest. The system enables wealthy patients to get on multiple waiting lists at multiple donor transplant centres. Allowing them by so doing to score a transplant, and making them less likely to die while waiting for one. The Bridge MAG. Image

3. Seek advice from your Doctor regarding your phosphorus and potassium intake

 

Phosphorus and potassium are useful minerals needed by your body: Phosphorus helps build strong bones, while potassium helps regulate your heartbeat and keeps your muscles working properly. 

 

Your doctor has a clinical and medical knowledge and background to order and analyse your blood tests to check your potassium and phosphorus levels.

 

If you have Chronic Kidney Disease, Phosphorus and Potassium may build up in your blood, causing problems throughout your body.

It is believed high levels of phosphorus can pull calcium from your bones, making bones weak and more likely to break, as well as causing itchy skin, bone and painful joints.

Only a health professional knows if you need to limit foods high in phosphorus, such as:  animal protein, dairy…

 

Beware!!!

 

High levels of potassium found in certain fruits and vegetables, as well as dairy can cause heart problems.

 

4. Limit your alcohol and cigarette intake

 

Alcohol dehydrates, destroys your kidneys by preventing them from regulating your body’s water levels. Alcohol disables your liver function, which in turn may impact blood flow to the kidneys and lead to CKD in the long run.

 

According to health specialists, men and women should drink no more than one alcoholic beverage per day.

 

People who smoke are more likely to have protein in their urine – a sign of kidney damage.

 

Heavy drinkers who also smoke have an even higher risk of kidney diseases.

 

 

As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. The sad reality is that, even rich people with enough money to afford kidney transplant do not always find a kidney living or death donor matching their blood group type. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. Taking action for a healthy lifestyle remains of paramount importance. The Bridge MAG. Image

People  with kidney problems or kidney failure may need to restrict their fluid intake, but for most people, drinking 1.5 to 2 litres (3 to 4 pints) of water per day is a healthy target.

 

7.  A beauty sleep is key.

 

A beautiful and peaceful sleep is extremely vital to your overall well-being and sleeping well upgrade kidney function. Kidneys are regulated by the sleep-wake cycle which helps coordinate the kidneys’ workload over 24 hours. 

 

Severe shortage of kidneys donors: when law and regulation step in:

 

Kidneys for transplantation can come from living donors or deceased donors. To prevent harvesting and trafficking body organs, it is illegal since the dawn of time at around 1948 to buy a kidney or other organ for transplant hence the shortage.

In general, the average waiting time frame for a kidney from a deceased donor worldwide can be 3-5 years at most centres.

 

A waiting list for a kidney in UK

 

It varies from few weeks to up to three years, depending on one’s blood group type: Patients who are A or AB blood group type wait two years and patients who are blood group O or B wait over three years.

 

How many patients are there in a transplant waiting list for a kidney donor in America?

 

Did you know?

 

On average: Every 10 minutes, another person is added to the national transplant wating list. 13 people die each day while waiting for a life-saving kidney transplant. Over 3,000 new patients are added to the kidney waiting list each month. Over 90,000 Americans are waiting for kidneys donations transplants.

    Chers tous, chères toutes,

    La Santé ! Le Meilleur Capital Humain. La santé est et reste l’atout le plus précieux de l’Homme…

    Le saviez-vous ?

    En moyenne : Toutes les 10 minutes, une autre personne est ajoutée à la liste nationale d’attente de greffe. 13 personnes meurent chaque jour en attendant une greffe de rein vitale.

    Le rein destiné à une greffe peut provenir soit d’une personne vivante (donneur vivant) en bonne santé soit d’une personne récemment décédée (donneur décédé).

    En général, le délai d’attente moyen pour un rein d’un donneur décédé dans le monde entier peut être de 3 à 5 ans dans la plupart des centres.

    Quand la loi et la règlementation s’en mêlent :
    Pour empêcher le prélèvement et le trafic d’organes du corps, il est illégal depuis la nuit des temps vers les années 1948 d’acheter un rein ou un autre organe à greffer d’où la pénurie.

    La triste réalité est que même les personnes nanties disposant de suffisamment d’argent pour se payer une greffe de rein ne trouvent pas toujours un donneur ou une donneuse de rein vivant (e) ou décédé (e) qui corresponde à leur groupe sanguin…
