the health of the kidneys. Before proceeding 
to our topic

00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:44,900
Friends, the topic we are going to discuss 
is very important for our daily lives.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,800
Normally, this information should be known 
by all that kidneys are

11
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:54,700
extremely important for us and how we should 
get ourselves diagnosed for its health.

12
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,600
After diagnose, if any type of problem is 
seen then what should

13
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:04,500
we do for its health, we will tell you everything 
about that.

14
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,400
The one thing everyone knows about the kidney 
is that it works as a filter for the body.

15
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:14,300
What will happen if it stops working? Today, 
we will talk about this only

16
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,200
that if a kidney is not working properly, 
then how we should get it tested.

17
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:24,100
There are some medical tests with the help 
of which we can

18
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:29,000
investigate the health and the functions 
of the kidneys. Kidney helps regulate the 
increasing level of creatinine in our body

19
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:33,900
If because of anything, the level of creatinine 
has increased up in the

20
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,800
body then you will notice changes in the 
urination pattern. For instance, decrease 
in the

21
00:01:38,900 --> 00:01:43,700
amount of urine, itching when passing the 
urine, pain, the urge to urinate frequently 
and stomach pain

22
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,600
If you notice any such changes in the urinary 
function, then

23
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:53,500
this means your kidney is not healthy. For 
that, you need to consult your doctor.

24
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:58,400
Mostly due to a busy schedule people don't 
take their meals on time. For instance, a 
person should consume

25
00:01:58,500 --> 00:02:03,300
three meals a day, but takes only two.

26
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:08,200
and sometimes they spend the whole day long 
and do not consume anything.

27
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:13,100
Poor appetite or loss of hunger is one sign 
of kidney disease. If you notice such sign

28
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,000
then it is compulsory for you to take the 
advice of the doctor. Before proceeding, 
there is a question

29
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,900
for you, that what fruits are healthy for 
kidney patients? You can share your answers

34
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Your questions are valuable for us, we will 
help answer your questions. Let's get back 
to our

35
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:52,300
topic. Friends, many times it happens that 
people feel dizzy when they are working out,

36
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,200
the work seems hectic, back pain for no reason, 
swelling in the hands and feet

37
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:02,100
then these are the signs of unhealthy kidneys. 
If any such things happen, then

38
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,000
it means there is a problem with your kidneys 
and you need to see your doctor.

39
00:03:07,100 --> 00:03:11,900
Such are the signs which are visible normally 
with the help of which

40
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,800
you can know about the health of the kidneys 
but now we will tell you about certain tests

41
00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,700
after which you will clearly get to know 
every information related to the kidneys

42
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,600
So come let us tell you about those tests. 
To diagnose kidney health and function

43
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:31,500
there are two tests primarily done one of 
which is related to the blood

44
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,400
and the other to the urine. In normal language, 
it is called a kidney function test.

45
00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:41,300
KFT means kidney function tests. This test 
measures every function related to the kidneys

46
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,200
and lets you know if your kidney is healthy 
or not.

47
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:51,100
First of all, we tell you about the first 
test that comes under the KFT, urine test.

48
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,000
As we told you earlier that during any kidney 
disease, the first change appear in the body 
is

49
00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:00,900
the changes in the urinary function. To check 
this, a urine test is done.

50
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,800
With the help of this test, you get to know 
that how much creatinine is

51
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:10,700
present in your urine. If the level of creatinine 
is less in the urine, then it can indicate

52
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:15,600
kidney disease clearly. Under the urine test, 
comes the other test which is called creatinine

53
00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,500
clearance test. This test gives you information 
that in your urine

54
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:25,400
creatinine level is how much more than the 
blood creatinine level. Together with this,

55
00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:30,300
this test also tells how much blood kidneys 
are filtering in how much time.

56
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,200
Now, we come to the second test in the KFT 
under which comes the further tests

57
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:40,100
the information on which we will give you. 
Yes

58
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,000
under the blood test, the first test is a 
serum creatinine test the work of which is 
to

59
00:04:45,100 --> 00:04:49,900
know the level of serum creatinine in the 
blood. If the serum creatinine level in your 
blood is more than

60
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,800
0.6-1.2 mg then this is a matter of concern 
for the person.

61
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:59,700
This also means that your kidney is not able 
to work its work intendedly. The next test 
is

62
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,600
blood urea nitrogen which is the second test 
under the blood test category.

63
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:09,500
Through this test you get to know the level 
of urea nitrogen in the blood.

64
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,400
If the urea nitrogen in the blood is more 
than 7-20 mg,

65
00:05:14,500 --> 00:05:19,300
then this clearly tells you need the treatment 
of kidney disease. Blood test

66
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:24,200
also have another test in its category is 
the eGFR test. During kidney disease

67
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:29,100
eGr is one of the most important tests that 
because it tells about the blood filtering 
capacity of the kidneys.

68
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,000
The blood filtering capacity of the kidney 
is normally between 90-120 mg per minute.

69
00:05:34,100 --> 00:05:38,900
But if this capacity is reduced that means

70
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,800
your kidneys are not healthy for which it 
is crucial for you to consult your doctor.

71
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:48,700
Apart from KFT, you should also go for sonography 
of the kidneys, biopsy, and DTPA test

72
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,600
These are some tests by going for which you 
will completely get to know

73
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:58,500
whether your kidney is healthy or not. If
