Why-are-the-kidneys-so-important?_0_1

Most people know that the main function of the kidneys is to remove waste products and excess fluid from the body. These waste products and excess fluid are removed through the urine. Urine production involves extremely complex stages of excretion and re-absorption. This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of chemicals in the body. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK538339/" target="_blank" data-ref="Page not available - NCBI BookshelfTwitterFacebookLinkedInGitHubNCBI Insights BlogTwitterFacebookYoutube" rel="noopener">[ref. 1]</a>&nbsp;

Crucial regulation of the content of salt, potassium and acid in the body is carried out by the kidneys. The kidneys also produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For example, a hormone produced by the kidneys stimulates the production of red blood cells. Other hormones produced by the kidneys help regulate blood pressure and control calcium metabolism. &nbsp;<a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/2752067" target="_blank" data-ref="Chronic Kidney Disease Diagnosis and Management" rel="noopener">[ref. 2]</a>&nbsp;

What-is-chronic-kidney-disease?_1_1

Chronic kidney disease includes conditions that damage your kidneys and reduce their ability to keep you healthy by filtering waste from your blood. If kidney disease worsens, waste can reach high levels in the blood and cause unpleasant symptoms and complications such as:

What-is-chronic-kidney-disease?_1_2

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">High blood pressure</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Anemia&nbsp;</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Weak bones</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Poor nutrient absorption</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Nerve damage</li></ul>Kidney disease also increases the risk of heart and blood vessel disease. These problems can appear slowly and progress for a long time.&nbsp;

What-are-some-of-the-causes-of-chronic-kidney-disease?_2_1

Chronic kidney disease from a clinical point of view is defined as the presence of some type of renal abnormality or "marker", such as protein in the urine and decreased kidney function for three months or more.

What-are-some-of-the-causes-of-chronic-kidney-disease?_2_2

There are many causes of chronic kidney disease. The kidneys can be affected by diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Some kidney diseases are hereditary, that is, there is a family history.

What-are-some-of-the-causes-of-chronic-kidney-disease?_2_3

Others are innate; This means that people can be born with an abnormality that can affect their kidneys. Below are some of the most common types and causes of kidney damage.

What-are-some-of-the-causes-of-chronic-kidney-disease?_2_4

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"> Diabetes is a disease in which your body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use normal amounts of insulin properly. This leads to a high blood sugar level, which can cause problems in many parts of your body. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease. IV</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">High blood pressure (also known as hypertension) is another common cause of kidney disease and other complications, such as heart attacks and strokes. High blood pressure occurs when the strength of the blood against the walls of the arteries increases. When high blood pressure is controlled, the risk of complications such as chronic kidney disease is lower. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Glomerulonephritis is a disease that causes inflammation of the small filtering units of the kidneys called glomeruli. Glomerulonephritis can occur suddenly, for example, after strep throat, and a person can get well again. However, the disease can develop slowly over several years and can cause progressive loss of kidney function. </li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Polycystic kidney disease is the most common hereditary kidney disease. It is characterized by the formation of kidney cysts, which enlarge over time and can cause serious kidney damage and even kidney failure.

Kidney disease usually affects both kidneys. If the kidneys' ability to filter blood is seriously damaged by disease, waste and excess fluid can accumulate in the body. Although many forms of kidney disease do not cause symptoms until the end of the course of the disease, there are six warning signs of kidney disease:

Many kidney diseases can be successfully treated, but it depends on various factors. Careful control of diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure can help prevent kidney disease or prevent progression. Sometimes chronic kidney disease can progress to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. Before it comes to this, however, there are many symptoms that signal a kidney problem and should not be ignored.&nbsp; In addition, a lot of research is being done to find a more effective treatment for all conditions that can cause chronic kidney disease. Some of them are urinary tract infections, glomerulonephritis, diabetes and others.

What-is-Crohn's-disease

What is Crohn's disease

What-is-Crohn's-disease_0_0

Crohn's disease is a chronic or long-term condition that causes inflammation in the digestive tract. It is an autoimmune mediated inflammatory condition, that is, induced by autoimmune in the body. Therefore, the reasons should be sought in the activity of the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, hormonal values, and in general - to analyze the endocrine, digestive, immune, nervous systems.

What-is-Crohn's-disease_0_1

Symptoms of Crohn's disease vary depending on which part of the intestine affects the condition. These often include pain syndrome, bowel ulcers, diarrhea, fatigue and exhaustion, weight loss and anemia, brain fog and others. With exacerbation of the condition, arthritis, skin disorders, inflammation of the liver and others may be triggered.

What-is-Crohn's-disease_0_2

After extensive diagnosis and confirmation of the disease follow guidelines for nutrition and medications. Alternative medicine funds may be added to them to support therapy.

Boswellia

Boswellia_1_0

One natural remedy that has been studied to relieve digestive disorders is Boswellia serrata&nbsp;<a href="https://www.herbal-organic.com/bg/herb/15122" target="_blank" data-ref="Boswellia serrata" rel="noopener">[ref. 1]</a>&nbsp; Boswellia supplements are extracted from trees that produce sweet-looking resin rich in carbohydrates, essential oils and boswellic acid. Acid in resin is the active ingredient. It is believed to act as an anti-inflammatory agent.

Boswellia_1_1

A recent study found that 14 out of 20 people with Crohn's disease who received Boswellia supplements achieved remission. However, this study is far from sufficient to offer definitive conclusions about the action of boswellia.&nbsp;

Turmeric

Turmeric_1_0

Turmeric is a spice that is a relative of ginger. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.herbal-organic.com/bg/herb/14445" target="_blank" data-ref="Curcuma" rel="noopener">[Ref. 2]</a>&nbsp; Studies covering the past two decades have suggested that curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has several healing properties that may be beneficial for people with Crohn's disease.&nbsp; We are talking about anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antiamiloid properties and antiarticular properties.

Turmeric_1_1

In addition, turmeric has antioxidant properties and is an antimicrobial agent. Therefore, it can help to fight infections in people with <a href="http://www.eurekaselect.com/article/54792" target="_blank" data-ref="Curcumin: A Boon to Colonic Diseases" rel="noopener">Crohn's disease</a>.&nbsp;[ref. 3]&nbsp;

Camellia Sinensis tea is a popular drink worldwide. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.herbal-organic.com/bg/herb/14489" target="_blank" data-ref="Camellia sinensis" rel="noopener">[ref. 4]</a>&nbsp;Rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, green tea has become known as a means of supporting digestion and weight loss. However, more in-depth research is needed for its effects on the intestines and colon.

N-Acetylglucosamine

N-Acetylglucosamine_1_0

N-acetylglucosamine is a supplement that is most often extracted from mussels. In some tests it is associated with success in the treatment of autoimmune diseases. N-acetylglucosamine can stop the activity of cells that cause inflammation.

N-Acetylglucosamine_1_1

In one study it became clear that supplements with N-acetylglucosamine reduce colon inflammation in children with Crohn's disease without negative side effects. &nbsp;<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/resolve/doi?DOI=10.1046/j.1365-2036.2000.00883.x" target="_blank" data-ref="Just a moment..." rel="noopener">[Ref. 5]</a>&nbsp;

Vitamin-D

Vitamin D

Vitamin-D_1_0

Recent studies have shown that vitamin D may be useful in the treatment of Crohn's disease. In them very often this vitamin is in short supply. By including sources of vitamin D, people with Crohn's disease can control symptoms and improve immune system health.&nbsp;

Vitamin-D_1_1

Vitamin-D_1_2

This is the solar vitamin, so sun exposure is one source. Foods such as fish, seafood, eggs and others are dietary sources. Additionally, supplements with cholecalciferol (vitamin D3)- an active form of vitamin D can be taken.

Since Crohn's disease develops with a compromised immune system and activation of autoimmunity, it should be carefully evaluated what herbs and supplements to take. This must necessarily be done by medical discretion and in view of the state of play, possible other diseases and other factors.&nbsp;

What the Mediterranean diet includes 

Fish

Fish_0_0

Health authorities in various European countries, as well as in the USA recommend 100-150 grams of fish twice a week. Arthritis experts say it's better, and it's important to select wildly caught fish at every opportunity. Fish is a useful food for arthritis, as it provides omega-3 fatty acids fighting inflammation. Salmon, tuna, sardines, herring, anchovies, mussels and other cold-water fish are an appropriate choice. If you do not eat enough fish, you can take a dietary supplement, as optimal are 600 to 1000 mg. fish oil per day.

Nuts-and-seeds

Nuts and seeds

Nuts-and-seeds_0_0

Nuts are rich in monounsaturated fats, fighting inflammation. And despite being relatively high in fat and calories, studies have shown that eating nuts promotes weight loss as their protein, fiber and monounsaturated fats provide better satiety. Walnuts, pine nuts, pistachios and almonds for people having arthritis are recommended.

Fruits-and-vegetables

Fruits and vegetables

Fruits-and-vegetables_0_0

Fruits and vegetables are loaded with antioxidants. These powerful chemicals act as the body's natural defense system, helping to neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals that can damage cells. Research has shown that anthocyanins found in cherries and other red and purple fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries have an anti-inflammatory effect.

Olive-oil

Olive oil

Olive-oil_0_0

Olive oil is rich in heart-beneficial fats, as well as oleocanthal, which has properties similar to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Oleocanthal inhibits the activity of COX enzymes, with a pharmacological action similar to ibuprofen,&nbsp; and it acts naturally. Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for seasoning dishes.

Whole-grain-products

Whole-grain products

Whole-grain-products_0_0

Whole grains contain a lot of fiber that can help you maintain a healthy weight. Some studies have also shown that foods rich in fiber can lower blood levels of CRP, a marker of inflammation. Here suitable are wholegrain flour, oatmeal, bulgur, brown rice and quinoa.

Crohn's disease is a chronic recurrent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. It belongs to a group of conditions called inflammatory bowel diseases. The disease can affect the entire digestive system and cause symptoms such as diarrhea, serious weight loss, abdominal pain, general fatigue and others.

_-1_3

The clinical picture is very similar to ulcerative colitis, and this makes it difficult to differentiate them.

_-1_4

Both conditions can lead to serious consequences if not treated appropriately, and therefore their timely diagnosis is very important. In addition, for making a correct diagnosis, other disturbances of the gastrointestinal tract such as bacterial infections must first be distinguished and excluded.
