bepositive11: It has its own advantage as energy booster but the intake of caffeine will increase the blood pressure which is risky for any CKD patient. |

vanvick247: Of course yes. Not far from the hospital. Always have my check up every 3 to 4 months. Sincerely, I don't take any medication for now and I don't take drug except prescribed by doctor. Gone are the days that I take iron sucrose and erythropoietin weekly and it's very expensive. |

Majority of Renal patient who die after few days of their illness was due to some fact. I'm not a doctor or medical practitioner, a scientist or a researcher in fact I'm not a science student but this my sickness made me do research about kidney and kidney disease. The killer of Renal patient are: 1. High blood pressure or hypertension. Many renal patient dies as a result of hypertension which is mostly the results of overthinking. Some persons believe that kidney disease is a death sentence and begin to give up on themselves whereas it's not the end. 2. High blood sugar or diabetes. Diabetes is another sickness that can cause kidney disease and can worsen it. So diabetes patient should be more careful and take their medication and avoid some certain foods and drinks. 3. Low blood or Anaemia. Many patients die due to this fact too as low blood can make the kidney to overwork and cause shortness of breath and fatigue. This was my case and maintaining it can be very expensive especially for poor Nigerians like myself. 4. Poor feeding or Eating food that will create more waste in the body. Some foods are healthy but not for kidney patients. These kind of food will create lots of waste build up in the blood which is to be eliminated by the kidney but since the kidney can perform little or no filtration function, waste and water buildup in the body will lead to other sickness and can block the lungs and cause suffocation which can lead to death. These four keys must be considered and well observed. Lack of information too is another killer. I'm sharing this information to help other patients who are in my shoes. But don't forget that I'm not a doctor or medical practitioner. The advise of the doctor is paramount. Thanks � 3 Likes 1 Share |

iguita:I think treatment of terminal diseases must be free. Everybody must be given a chance to live until their Body-Systems is done. Government should take over the treatment of all terminal diseases across hospitals except for Super Riches. Once Your Terminal Diseases is above your level of Income and Total Wealth: voluntary Donor's should take Over via Gofund Me and Government must pay up any remaining Balances on the Treatment. The Problem is abuse, Many people will abuse themselves with the expectations that Government and Donor will fund their Ailments: Kai 2 Likes |

Lasthope543: I'm not diabetic so i eat rice, egg, garri (Eba), Amala, semo, Bread, yam, spaghetti, fufu, snacks(i do avoid wheat), cassava, maize and fruits such as apple, cucumber, coconut, pawpaw, dates, and i also takes little milk not much as it may cause the kidney to overwork to eliminate the buildup of waste in the body. Avoid banana, watermelon, yogurt, full-cream milk, caffeinated drink or food, high protein food or drink, high sodium or salty food or drink, high phosphorus and potassium food or drink and avoid beans and any food made with beans. Drink lots of water unless advised by the doctor to reduce your fluid intake. This really help me a lot as i avoided salt for over 3 years. |

Alhamdulillah, Glory be to GOD Almighty On the 12th of March 2016 i was on dialysis session at a private hospital and was returned to LUTH where i was taking my treatments at night with ambulance. Today 12th of march 2024, I'm presently at work, still alive and even fasting in this holy month of Ramadan. I'm giving glory to GOD Almighty and I'm appreciating the Nigerian Health workers that took care of me at the General hospital (Lagos State University Teaching Hospital) and the private hospital (Dialyzer specialist at oshodi). IMPORTANT - KIDNEY DESERVES THE BEST. Ikekweremadu's daughter is currently battling with kidney disease which has led to his detention on the UK while trying to help her daughter get a kidney donor. Barely few days ago, we all received the news of the demise of the Nigerian actor as a result of kidney disease. ALSO OUR MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS, the Honorable Teko Lake is currently in the Hospital on life support with Kidney problems. I want to show you how to avert this menace of kidney disease. SO HERE ARE THE TOP 6 CAUSES OF KIDNEY DISEASE: 1. Delaying going to a toilet. Keeping your urine in your bladder for too long is a bad idea. A full bladder can cause bladder damage. The urine that stays in the bladder multiplies bacteria quickly. Once the urine refluxes back to the ureter and kidneys, the toxic substances can result in kidney infections, then urinary tract infections, and then nephritis, and even uremia. When nature calls – do it as soon as possible. 2. Eating too much salt. You should eat no more than 5.8 grams of salt daily. 3. Eating too much meat. Too much protein in your diet is harmful for your kidneys. Protein digestion produces ammonia – a toxin that is very destructive to your kidneys. More meat equals more kidney damage. 4. Drinking too much caffeine. Caffeine is a component of many sodas and soft drinks. It raises your blood pressure and your kidneys start suffering. So you should cut down the amount of coke you drink daily. 5. Not drinking water. Our kidneys should be hydrated properly to perform their functions well. If we don’t drink enough, the toxins can start accumulating in the blood, as there isn’t enough fluid to drain them through the kidneys. Drink more than 10 glasses of water daily. There is an easy way to check if you are drinking enough water: look at the color of your urine; the lighter the color, the better. 6. Late treatment . Treat all your health problems properly and have your health checked regularly. Let's help ourselves...God will protect you and your family from every disease this year. 1 Like 1 Share |
