Disease prevention through a healthy lifestyle of regular exercise, eating a balanced diet, effective stress management , and refraining from smoking is key. At an early age, get in the routine of scheduling annual checkups with your doctor (MD). This is the best way to keep track of your health and to identify any disease in its earliest stages. Unfortunately, disease prevention is not always possible.<\/p>\n
It is very difficult to detect early stages of kidney disease on your own since there may not be any or very few signs or symptoms. For this reason, yearly physicals with your MD are encouraged to help identify renal disease. The earlier kidney disease is identified the better you will be able to manage the disease and slow its progression.<\/p>\n
It can be very overwhelming and scary being newly diagnosed with kidney disease. You may feel afraid, unsure of what to do, where to go, who to see, or what questions to ask. For most people, the first question is, \u201cwhat\u2019s my next step in caring for myself and my kidney disease?\u201d.<\/p>\n
A diagnosis of CKD can be daunting; but, taking the steps necessary to get the care you need and educating yourself on the disease can help put you more at ease and in control of your health. Early detection, intervention, and education is key to successful kidney disease management. Take care of your body\u2014it\u2019s the only one you have!<\/p>\n
