In addition to filtering the blood and removing waste and excess water from the body, the kidneys also control blood pressure, produce essential hormones, and balance pH levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Chronic Kidney Disease in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we age, it can be difficult for the kidneys to function optimally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, certain conditions and factors\u2014such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity\u2014can negatively affect kidney function, potentially resulting in chronic kidney disease (CKD). CKD is generally defined as the loss of kidney function over an extended period.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symptoms do not usually manifest until the disease is in an advanced stage, but they include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased fatigue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constant thirst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shortness of breath<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased frequency of urination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin rashes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty managing diabetes or high blood pressure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As these symptoms are subtle and can apply to any number of other conditions, the only way to know if you have kidney disease is through blood and urine tests. If CKD goes unchecked, not only do wastes continually collect in the body, but it may even lead to kidney failure \u2013 meaning that the kidneys\u2019 functionality has been reduced to less than 15%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should kidney failure come into play, there are treatment options available, including dialysis or a kidney transplant. However, seniors do not have to wait for things to get worse before they can get better. Risk reduction, through adjustments in diet and lifestyle and diligent monitoring, can make a big impact on kidney health (and overall well-being). Here are some recommendations for seniors age 65 or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ways to Support Healthy Kidneys in Canada\u2019s Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kidney-Healthy Diet for Seniors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Drink plenty of water. As a general rule of thumb, stick to eight 8-ounce glasses (or about 2 liters) throughout the course of the day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consume foods low in salt, sugar, and fat \u2013 and look for labels that contain the words \u201cwhole grains\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purchase fresh produce, instead of their canned or processed counterparts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discuss kidney-friendly diets, and any diet change in general, with a physician or dietician.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Healthy Lifestyle for Seniors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not smoke, or take steps to quit smoking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit alcohol consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity into your daily schedule. Be sure to consult a doctor or physician before beginning any exercise regimen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintain a healthy weight, and lose weight if you are currently overweight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senior Kidney Health Monitoring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rigorously manage blood sugar levels, especially if you have diabetes. Be sure to abide by your doctor\u2019s instructions regarding insulin and blood sugar monitoring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep blood pressure in check. Talk to your doctor about options for using anti-hypertensive drugs, designed to lower blood pressure, such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin blockers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Get an annual screening, especially if you have any of the risk factors associated with kidney disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Senior Kidney Disease Is Not Inevitable<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seniors may feel they do not have a choice when it comes to the health of their kidneys. While it is true that kidney functionality does naturally diminish over time due to the decrease in kidney tissue and filtering units, advanced age does not solely trigger kidney disease. Encourage your senior loved ones to incorporate the tips listed above to help reduce the risk of kidney disease and other health conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton Can Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our caregivers can help establish a daily routine and encourage your loved one to make healthy choices \u2013 to support not only the health of his or her kidneys, but also his or her overall well-being.
