Injured kidneys means that the kidneys are damaged and can&#8217;t filter blood like they should. This damage can cause wastes to build up in the body. When kidney damage occurs slowly over many years, it is called chronic kidney disease (CKD). There can be a sudden loss in kidney function because of illness, injury, or taking certain medications. This is called acute kidney injury (AKI). This can occur in a person with normal kidneys or in someone who already has kidney problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to removing wastes from the body, the kidneys help control many other vital functions including blood pressure and how much salt and water is in the body. If your kidneys do not work properly, your blood pressure may become too high, and you may retain fluid. This can lead to swelling of your legs or fluid in your lungs. The kidneys also control the levels of important chemicals in the blood, including potassium. High or low potassium levels can make you feel weak and can cause dangerous irregular rhythms of your heart. Your kidneys also help control levels of calcium and phosphorous in your blood and affect the health of your bones. Your kidneys also help control the production of red blood cells. When kidneys are injured, red blood cell production decreases resulting in anemia (low red-blood count).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Chronic Kidney Disease Fact Sheet can be found on the *<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/kidneydisease\/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Kidney Disease risk factors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kidney health can be impaired by several factors. Diabetes and high blood pressure are the top causes of impaired kidney health. Having heart and blood vessel disease and family history of kidney failure can also increase your risk of kidney impairment. Certain groups of people are also at higher risk. These include:<br>\u2022 African Americans<br>\u2022 Hispanics<br>\u2022 American Indians<br>\u2022 Alaskan Natives<br>\u2022 Pacific Islanders<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Protecting your kidneys<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s important that you manage your overall health when you have kidney disease or are at risk for kidney disease. The&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prevention.va.gov\/index.asp\" rel=\"noopener\">VA&#8217;s National Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention<\/a>&nbsp;offers healthy living advice which can help you to protect your kidneys and keep kidney disease from getting worse by slowing diabetes and high blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Symptoms<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many people with kidney disease don&#8217;t have any symptoms. For most people, blood and urine tests are the only way to know about the health of their kidneys. People who have conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease should get tested. People who have had a close family member with kidney disease should also get tested. Blood in the urine or foaming of the urine may be signs of kidney disease. A sudden decrease in the amount of urine may indicate acute kidney injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans, speak to your primary care provider, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.va.gov\/find-locations\/?facilityType=health\" rel=\"noopener\">contact your local VA health facility<\/a> to learn about testing options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Testing for Kidney Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two tests are needed to check for kidney disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A blood test checks your GFR, which tells how well your kidneys are filtering. GFR stands for glomerular (glow-MAIR-you-lure) filtration rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A GFR of 60 or higher is in the normal range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A&nbsp;GFR below 60 may mean kidney disease.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A GFR of 15 or lower may mean kidney failure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A urine test checks for albumin in your urine. Albumin is a protein that can pass into the urine when the kidneys are damaged. Albumin is a protein found in the blood. A healthy kidney does not let albumin pass into the urine. A damaged kidney lets some albumin pass into the urine. The less albumin in your urine, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A urine albumin result above 30 may mean kidney disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A urine albumin result below 30 is normal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Managing Kidney Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with kidney disease can continue to live productive lives: working, enjoying friends and family, and staying physically active. You may need to make some changes to your diet and lifestyle to help you live a healthier and longer life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lifestyle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lifestyle changes for early kidney disease include controlling blood pressure, managing blood sugar, if you smoke, are taking steps to quit, taking your medicines the way your doctor tells you, becoming more physically active, and losing weight if you are overweight.

Two types of blood pressure medicines &#8211; ACE inhibitors and ARBs &#8211; may slow kidney disease and delay kidney failure, even in people who don&#8217;t have high blood pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some medicines can also harm your kidneys. If you have kidney disease, you need to be careful about all the medicines you take. Because your kidneys do not filter fluids well, medicines can build up in your blood. Your pharmacist and health care provider need to know what medicines you take so they can give you advice on how to protect your kidneys. Medication safety information can be found on the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pbm.va.gov\/nationalformulary.asp\" rel=\"noopener\">VA&#8217;s Pharmacy Benefits Management Services Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer is-style-spacer-10\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treatment for kidney failure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kidney disease can get worse over time, and may lead to kidney failure. Kidney failure means very advanced kidney damage with less than 15% normal function. The treatment options for kidney failure are dialysis, kidney transplant, or medical treatment without dialysis. Since the kidneys no longer work well enough to maintain health, the goal is to find a treatment that can replace kidney function and\/or reduce your symptoms. Dialysis and kidney transplants are treatments not cures for kidney failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;VA provides dialysis treatments in several forms. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is one that you can be trained to do at home, usually with a partner\u2019s help. It most often involves using a machine to pump fluid in and out of your belly. Hemodialysis (HD) is usually done in a dialysis clinic. Sometimes HD can be done at home with a partner. HD involves cleaning your blood by pumping it through a dialysis machine. If you need dialysis, talk with your VA provider about which option may be best for you.
