lifestyle, exercise make happy, healthy kidneys

By Venus G. Villanueva KALIBO, Aklan, June 17 (PIA6) -- A modified lifestyle coupled with regular exercise, even just a 30-minute daily walk could mean a lot to make our kidneys healthy and happy, according to Dr. Allan Tolentino, the only nephrologist in the province of Aklan and a member of the Aklan Medical Society (AMS) here. Dr. Tolentino gave this advice to Aklanons through a radio interview over a local radio station here on the proper ways of caring for the kidneys as the country celebrates this June National Kidney Month. Kidneys, according to him, perform very important functions for the body – they regulate and adjust the right amount of elements and water in the body and regulate blood pressure, and act as the janitor, ridding the body of poisonous elements. Kidneys are also important for the production of red blood cells and the development of strong bones. “If our kidneys are not functioning anymore, our body cannot produce red blood cells, so we grow pale. Our bones also become brittle if our kidneys are damaged already,” Dr. Tolentino said. For early detection of kidney problems, Dr. Tolentino said everybody must undergo urinalysis yearly. Those suffering from kidney problems usually have decreased amounts of urine, gets easily tired, has vomiting episodes, no appetite for food, and has swelling of feet and hands. He however cautioned the people that swelling could also be caused by other diseases, so it is important for the affected person to seek consultation. Among the diseases that can cause damage to kidneys are diabetes and hypertension. When one has these diseases, Dr. Tolentino said the patient must have regular check-ups, control his/her blood sugar intake, eat the right foods and avoid taking herbal medication. When one’s kidneys are already damaged, Dr. Tolentino said these can never be restored to their normal state, which could be life-threatening as well as cause heavy financial and psychological burden to the patient and the family. Those suffering from kidney diseases must avoid taking pain relievers as these could also further cause damage. Among other things to keep the kidneys healthy, Dr. Tolentino advises people to stop smoking, take medicines properly, and have regular monitoring of the kidneys through check-ups and urinalysis as early detection could save the kidneys. “When these things are properly observed, we can then say that ‘Malusog Na Bato, Yan Ang Gusto Ko’, the theme of this year’s Kidney Month Celebration”, Dr. Tolentino concluded.
