People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) commonly suffer from disorders of bone and mineral metabolism. Since nutritional imbalances are also common in CKD, it is likely one major contributing factor, among others. Optimizing vitamins and nutrients for bone health is therefore an important goal when managing people with CKD and bone disease. The interaction between…
We combed through multiple medical journals looking for the latest research on the Integrative approach to kidney health. We know your time is valuable so we curated and summarized these studies for you. Welcome to Inkidney October Research and News. Lifestyle modifications do indeed prevent CKD and delay its progression This study is coming from Japan. Researchers…
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is of growing world-wide concern. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 1 in 7 US adults are estimated to have kidney disease. Many factors contribute to the increase in CKD prevalence, including emotional and psychological stress. We discussed the role of stress in kidney disease…
– 2021 Update Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease affecting one in 800 people. There have been several advances in our understanding of PKD since our last blog. In a previous blog, we discussed the genetics of PKD and how genetic variants translate into a disease. In this blog, we will…
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the most common inherited kidney disease affecting one in 800 people. It is passed down from parent to child over generations, through classic Mendelian genetics. There have been several advances in our understanding of PKD since our last blog. This blog will discuss the genetics of PKD. In the next…
The Role of Dietary Fiber Supplementation in Regulating Uremic Toxins in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials Gut-derived uremic toxins, including indoxyl sulfate (IS) and p-cresyl sulfate (PCS), are waste products that accumulate in the body due to decreased clearance by the failing kidneys. These accumulated uremic toxins are a…
Genetic testing for patients with kidney disease can have a remarkable impact on their care. In this blog, we will focus on the clinical utility of genetic testing for kidney transplant evaluation.
The majority of risk factors for CKD are related to lifestyle factors or conditions related to lifestyle disease. Exercise is an intervention that has the ability to positively impact a large number of those risk factors.
Association of Physical Activity and Poor Health Outcomes in Patients With Advanced CK Here, it was found that physical activity can improve outcomes for kidney patients. Higher level of physical activity was associated with 52% reduction in all cause mortality in advanced CKD patients. This is better than any medication that we know. See the…
Current evidence suggests that genetics play a role in the development of kidney disease. Common genetic disorders associated with kidney disease include polycystic kidney disease, Alport’s Syndrome and Fabry’s disease. In this blog, we will detail the benefits of broad-panel genetic testing in kidney disease management.
