What Is Kidney Disease?
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs found below your ribcage. Your kidneys filter extra water and wastes out of your blood to keep you healthy. Kidney disease means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. You are at greater risk for kidney disease if you have diseases like diabetes or high blood pressure. If you have kidney failure, you can lead a healthy life with the proper treatment and care. Treatments include transplant and dialysis.
Treatments For Kidney Failure
Kidneys play a crucial role in keeping our bodies healthy. That’s why it’s important to be informed on all the kidney disease treatments and know what the best option is for you. Dialysis and a kidney transplant are the main forms of treatment for kidney disease. Dialysis can be done from the comfort of your home or at a clinic. You can work with your doctor to help determine what treatment is right for you depending on your lifestyle. Watch this video to learn more.
