Kidney disease: what are the early signs and how is it treated?

There are a number of different causes of kidney disease, and there are signs you can look out for that can develop in the early stages.
Leading consultant nephrologist Dr Peter Hill talks through the signs you should be aware of, the treatment options, and the prognosis for someone with kidney disease.

#1 MAKE SURE you're drinking enough WATER every day. Water, PLAIN water is the life blood of our bodies! Helps the kidneys function normal.

I think eating more vegetables and white meat like chicken and fish will helps the kidneys in the long run..am I right, Doctor ?

This is a vague video, there are other videos on youtube with more symptoms and more detail, they talk about specific tests like urine analysis for protein leakage in the urine that could cause the frothiness. I just think that being so vague about symptoms reminds me of GPs who don't keep a patient history of symptoms, and the patient keeps going in repeating things and getting nowhere and the GP says well kidney disease is hard to detect when the patient has gone over 5 or more symptoms.

Whay if you took a mite and scabies treatment (because you took in a stray cat) and it caused kidney failure?

I have a question: is somebody happened the same as to me? I was already 6 years on BPH medication-finasterid-aglandin, and a retention happened. I had a TURP after the retention. The Kreatinin and BUN were worsened after the retention. And now the question: In your experience the Kreatinin and BUN were going back AFTER the TURP, or not? Thank you and best greetings from Vienna.

I was diagnosed with CKD3 about 5 years ago
I’ve not had any more communication from Gp since
I did look online at my last blood results and it was still 3
I got mine through HBP that went undiagnosed for goodness no how long!

I been having uti's since 2019, last yr I had 4 2 months apart, this yr had 2 for past 2 months, I had test done STDs, typical blood test for diabetes etc, urine test for all sections of test, CT scans on bladder n kidneys for stones etc NOTHING! but I noticed since I use to drink 3 big jars of green tea and before bed held my pee for 2 weeks I noticed pain in my lower abdominal area n bladder, ever since 2019 I always had this problem, now recently pain goes from front to lower back! And took ciproflaxin and it came back a week later, do you think I should take antibiotics after I cleanse myself take a pill before bed to not let me go pee at night n train my brain not to go at night...I feel when I use to drink alot of tea before bed messed me up because before then I never had problems!!!!

The reason why I say kidneys failing too is cuz I been feeling dry mouth, thirsty, cloudy smelly pee, urinating kinda hurts n frequent, I get crampy feeling in stomach, also as a kid n pre teen n teen and early adult my stream of pee use to be not straight it will be str8 with a leaking drip drops under the stream for a while and sometimes drip alot while peeing and stream sometimes shot different ways, until now I'm 34 and it's kinda slow stream. What do you think it is Drs say to come in to get your camera up your urethra to see how your hole is working think this is why I keep getting uti's? It was so bad to a point that I held my pee I got prostatitis and had to take antibiotics and problem went away n came back with another UTI a month later last yr.
