Each year, there are more than 10,000 new kidney disease patients. If you are overweight, have high fat or sugar levels in your blood, or drink little water, you should get your kidneys checked because the kidneys gradually deteriorate, and by the time symptoms appear, more than 75% of kidney function is already lost.
Moreover, if you have chronic kidney disease in a severe stage requiring dialysis, it will create burdens and complications in terms of time, finances, and overall health. Therefore, we should be cautious and reduce risk factors for kidney disease. The doctor has some good advice to share.

<h2>4 Recommendations for People with Kidney Disease</h2>
<ul>
<li>Knowing Your Kidney Disease Stage</li>
</ul>
Since kidney disease has 5 stages, knowing your stage will make self-care much easier. To know your stage, you need to undergo screening, which can be done during your annual health check-up, and the doctor will inform you of the results.
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Stages 1-3 focus on slowing kidney deterioration, and patients usually do not have many complications.</li>
<li>Stages 4-5 begin to have complications that require treatment of complications and slowing deterioration simultaneously.</li>
<li>Stage 5, some patients need to start kidney replacement therapy or dialysis because the kidneys cannot adequately remove waste and maintain body balance.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Know and Treat the Causes of Kidney Failure, Most Commonly Caused by
<ul>
<li>Diabetes</li>
<li>Hypertension</li>
<li>Kidney stones</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
People with these three conditions should receive continuous treatment, be cautious with their diet, and medication use to prevent progressing to kidney failure.

<li>Treatment of Complications from Kidney Failure, Such as
<ul>
<li>Swelling</li>
<li>Anemia</li>
<li>Electrolyte imbalances</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
When abnormal symptoms occur, patients should see a doctor and be under the care of a kidney specialist. They should follow the recommended diet and medication prescribed by the doctor.
