Dr.PRATIM's Podcast

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can cause a variety of symptoms, including loss of appetite. When the kidneys are not functioning properly, waste products and toxins can accumulate in the body, leading to a range of complications. These complications can affect the digestive system and contribute to a decreased appetite.

Several factors can contribute to the loss of appetite in CKD:

1. Buildup of waste products: When the kidneys are unable to effectively filter waste products from the blood, they can accumulate in the body. This buildup can cause nausea, vomiting, and a general feeling of unwellness, leading to a loss of appetite.
2. Changes in taste: CKD can affect the sense of taste and smell. This alteration in taste perception can lead to a reduced interest in food and a decreased appetite.
3. Medications: Individuals with CKD often take multiple medications to manage their condition. Some of these medications can have side effects, including nausea, which can contribute to a loss of appetite.
4. Fluid and electrolyte imbalances: CKD can disrupt the balance of fluids and electrolytes in the body. This can lead to a feeling of fullness or bloating, making it difficult to eat a normal-sized meal and resulting in a reduced appetite.
5. Depression and anxiety: Dealing with a chronic illness like CKD can take an emotional toll. Depression and anxiety are common in individuals with CKD and can contribute to a loss of appetite.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection that affects any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are more common in women than in men, although men can also develop them. Here is some information about the prevalence and symptoms of UTIs:

Prevalence:

• UTIs are one of the most common types of bacterial infections, and they affect millions of people worldwide each year.
• Women are more prone to UTIs because their urethra is shorter, allowing bacteria to reach the bladder more easily. Sexual activity, pregnancy, and menopause can also increase the risk.
• UTIs are less common in men, but they can occur, especially in older men or those with urinary tract abnormalities or catheters.

Symptoms:
The symptoms of a UTI can vary depending on which part of the urinary tract is affected. Common symptoms include:

1. Lower urinary tract infection (bladder infection):

• Frequent urge to urinate
• Pain or burning sensation during urination
• Passing small amounts of urine frequently
• Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
• Blood in the urine (hematuria)
• Pelvic pain, particularly in the center of the pelvis above the pubic bone

1. Upper urinary tract infection (kidney infection):

• All the symptoms of a lower UTI
• Fever and chills
• Pain in the side or back, below the ribs
• Nausea and vomiting

It's important to note that not all UTIs cause noticeable symptoms, especially in older adults or individuals with compromised immune systems. In these cases, the infection may be detected through a urine test.

If you suspect you have a UTI or are experiencing symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention. A healthcare provider can diagnose a UTI through a urine sample analysis and prescribe appropriate antibiotics to treat the infection.

The BCM - Body Composition Monitor provides a quantitative measure of lean tissue and fat tissue mass because it is able to distinguish muscle mass from fluid overload.
Doctors mainly conduct BCM checks before dialysis. They measure twice, by checking blood pressure and weight first and once again by attaching electrodes to one hand and one foot.
BCM may be conducted even on conservative patients to know if their body has a tendency to retain fluid.

IgA nephropathy is a kidney disease in which IgA, a protein meant to defend the body against foreign invaders, accumulates in the kidneys and damages them. This impairs their filtering function. As a result, the kidneys begin to let substances such as blood and protein leak into the urine. It is also named Berger’s disease as it was first described by Berger and Hinglais in 1968.

Creatinine is a waste product that is produced when muscles break down creatine phosphate, which is used by the muscles for energy. Creatinine is then filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in the urine.

Creatinine is a commonly used marker of kidney function because the level of creatinine in the blood is largely dependent on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), which is a measure of how well the kidneys are filtering waste products out of the blood. If the kidneys are not functioning properly, creatinine levels in the blood will be elevated. Therefore, measuring the level of creatinine in the blood can help doctors diagnose and monitor kidney problems.

But the level of creatinine in blood is not the ultimate statement for Kidney disease. Listen to this podcast to know all doubts you have about rising creatinine.
