Risk factors of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Who is at risk?

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can affect anyone, at any age, but the disease is most commonly found in those over age 60 years. Other risk factors include a family history of CKD, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, obesity, autoimmune disease, and urinary tract infections.

Although CKD can be caused by primary disease of the kidneys, it is most often diagnosed as secondary to diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, HIV, and lupus. People currently living with these diseases need to be mindful that they are at risk for developing kidney disease and should be regularly examined by a health care professional to monitor kidney function.

Chronic conditions that may lead to CKD

  • Diabetes is the disease most often associated with CKD. Over time, elevated blood glucose can impair blood flow to the kidneys, causing damage. People with both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are at high risk for CKD and should be tested regularly.Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Factors
  • Hypertension: Uncontrolled high blood pressure can cause kidney damage over time.
  • Atherosclerosis is hardening of the arteries and the formation of plaque in the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys. This results in ischemic nephropathy (inadequate blood flow to the kidneys), which can lead to progressive kidney damage.
  • Glomerulonephritis causes inflammation and damage to the kidney filtration system and can result in kidney failure. Glomerulonephritis can be caused by lupus and from infections that follow injury or surgery.
  • Obstruction: An enlarged prostate often obstructs the flow of urine and may therefore cause kidney stones.
  • Polycystic kidney disease is a hereditary disease that may cause cysts in both kidneys.
  • Analgesic nephropathy: Long-term use of analgesics such as acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) may cause CKD.
  • Other causes: HIV infection, sickle cell anemia, heroin abuse, amyloidosis, chronic kidney infections, and certain types of cancer can also cause CKD.

Reversible factors contributing to CKD

It is possible that the following components of renal insufficiency can be reversed especially in older persons (over 70 years) and in children:

  • Dehydration
  • Renal injury due to nephrotoxic agents such as acetaminophen and nonsteroidal analgesics
  • Obstruction, especially chronic prostate enlargement and strictures
  • Reduction of blood pressure to 130/80 mm Hg or better

Renadyl™ | Natural supplement for Kidney Health

Chronic Kidney Disease Risk Factors - Renadyl

Renadyl™ is a patented and proprietary probiotics dietary supplement that has been scientifically formulated and clinically tested. Renadyl™ metabolizes nitrogenous waste that has diffused from the bloodstream into the bowel. Nitrogenous wastes are utilized by Renadyl™ as nutrients. As probiotics grow and multiply, they consume more nitrogenous waste and therefore effectively help maintain healthy kidney function. The nitrogenous metabolites are eliminated as solid waste/fecal matter. Renadyl – Kidney supplement, to hanlde the Risk factors of Chronic Kidney Disease
