Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease
People usually say “yes, yes, we know, we know” about the diseases, but they don’t really know the true purpose behind that. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a disease that makes kidney not as functional. The reason behind this is that it’s either from a long-term course or an inheritance from their parent’s genes. By the long-term it’s from all that food build up inside of their bodies. When the food is filling up inside their bodies, the kidney is supposed to release those waste. If the kidney doesn’t release those …show more content…
Getting CKD is either a long-term or an inheritance. But having these diseases they might give the people a higher chance of getting CKD. Having CKD with the other diseases mention in the previous paragraph might have symptoms. Some of the disease might show or might not. If they only have CKD they won’t know at all. There’s no symptom showing to them that they have CKD or not. They must check with the doctor in order to find out if they have CKD or not. But in statistics they show about 5-10 % of the adult populations have …show more content…
1 cause of death in the United States and includes high blood pressure, stroke heart failure and other minor conditions. CKD has been proved to be a risk factor for the provocation of CVD, since several of its complications pave the way to its amelioration. The more kidney function declines, the more cardiovascular risk increases. The complications of CKD favorable to the development of CVD are the following:
High homocysteine levels
Homocysteine is a non-protein amino acid produced as a byproduct of consuming meat. Normal homocysteine levels fluctuate between 5 and 15 micromoles/liter of blood. Moreover, high levels of homocysteine (meaning more than 15 micromoles/liter in the blood) are strongly connected to atherosclerosis (hardening and/or narrowing of the blood vessels) and the formation of blood clots in the arteries and vessels and therefore can lead to adverse results such as the damage of artery walls.
