00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:06,500
Friends, the kidney is an important organ 
of our body. It helps in the elimination 
of liquid waste through

2
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:11,400
the urine, but simultaneously it also works 
to filter the blood

3
00:00:11,500 --> 00:00:16,300
Even after being so important to us, we barely 
think of the kidneys' health

4
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,200
You will be amazed to know that kidney diseases 
are also called silent killers.

5
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:26,100
this is because, until the extent of the 
damage to them is not serious,

6
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,000
we will hardly notice the disease. Since 
the organ is quite necessary, and so more

7
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:35,900
are the complications. Mainly kidney diseases 
are categorized into four types, in which 
first is

8
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,800
Acute Kidney Disease during which the kidneys 
suddenly get damaged.

9
00:00:40,900 --> 00:00:45,700
Second is Chronic Kidney Disease in which 
the extent of damage is so large

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,600
that it takes years to get recovered. Third 
are the

11
00:00:50,700 --> 00:00:55,500
Polycystic Kidney Diseases in which blisters 
like growth appear in the kidneys that get 
filled with water.

12
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,400
Fourth are the nephrotic syndrome in which 
the protein level

13
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:05,300
of the body gets reduced as it leaks. Now, 
all these conditions bring with themselves

14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,200
symptoms. During kidney damage, you will 
witness anyone or

15
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:15,100
sometimes more than one symptoms are visible.

16
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:20,000
Among all the symptoms, the few are blood 
accompanying the urine, high blood pressure, 
pain and

17
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:24,900
itching while urinating, pain in the areas 
below the abdomen and on the back.

18
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,800
Swelling in the eyes and the face, poor concentration 
over things, breathlessness

19
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:34,700
can also be seen. Along with this, you may 
also notice persistent itching on the skin

20
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:39,600
and vomit may also occur. So actually who 
gets such diseases? The truth is that

21
00:01:39,700 --> 00:01:44,500
this can develop in anyone. But if your blood 
pressure and blood sugar

22
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,400
usually remains high, you are obese, have 
a family history of kidney disease, and

23
00:01:49,500 --> 00:01:54,300
if you have a heart-related disease, then 
your chances of developing kidney disease 
increase.

24
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,200
Or if your age exceeds 60 even then your 
likelihood of having this disease is quite 
high.

25
00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:04,100
If your blood pressure usually remains high, 
then this also damages your arteries

26
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:09,000
that transmutes the blood in our body. This 
results

27
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:13,900
in the obstructed flow of oxygen and blood 
towards the kidneys because of

28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,800
which the production of renin is slowed down 
and the blood pressure

29
00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:23,700
is not able to remain under control. Because 
of diabetes, the kidneys suffer from diabetic 
nephropathy.

30
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,600
Due to which our eyes, nerves, and the heart 
get damaged severely.

31
00:02:28,700 --> 00:02:33,500
Now you will be thinking that how this small 
organ of the body can cause this much complications.

32
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:38,400
But don't get frightened, if the diagnosis 
and the treatment is initiated timely, then 
you

33
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:43,300
be prevented from the conditions like kidney 
disease and this will also prevent you from 
life-threatening conditions related to kidney 
failure.

34
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:48,200
There are certain tests through which you 
can easily diagnose kidney problems.

35
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:53,100
Like urine tests, blood tests, blood pressure 
measurement, digital imaging

36
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:58,000
and a kidney biopsy. But, why one should 
be at the risk of kidney disease? Try to..

37
00:02:58,100 --> 00:03:02,900
make your lifestyle healthy, eat fruits and 
vegetables, stay away from salty, spicy, 
and fatty

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,800
Drink water in a required quantity, maintain 
body-weight, and do exercise

39
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:12,700
Exercise is important for at least 30 minutes 
of your day. So, you saw how important are 
our kidneys.

40
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,600
