In this video, I'll explain the multifaceted role of kidneys, from filtering blood and regulating blood pressure to maintaining bone health and balancing electrolytes. I emphasize the often-overlooked fact that the most common early symptom of kidney failure can be no symptom at all. This underscores the importance of regular check-ups and routine testing by your doctor, especially if you have a family history of kidney disease.

This is my Nephrologist, and she is the best. Her office staff is awesome too. They took me through all of the tests, exams, etc. I was okay in the end, but it was good to know that I was in good hands. And yes, she is this beautiful in person.

Thanks doc

Thank you Dr for this important information. I'm 73 yrs old and my last blood test showed renal issue. I was working from home and noticed a pain in my right lower back and quit my position in November 2023. In December, my primary doctor gave me a script for more blood tests and urine analysis in 90 days. In the meanwhile I am removing Black licorice, peanuts; (which I enjoyed), and removing all processed foods including milk, soup and bread. I'm back to exercising daily and I'm going to include more apples, red seeded grapes, watermelon, pineapple, lemon water, bananas, kale cauliflower onions, garlic, wild salmon, in my diet. I also start my day with 16 oz lemon water, and 8 oz lemon water before lunch and dinner. I make sure drink 1/2 my weight in ounces of water each day. I'm praying and doing everything in my power to loose the 15 lbs I'd gained last year and returning to healthy kidneys. God bless you.

@Dr.Frita, I have stage 3 kidney disease because I donated my left kidney 17 years ago (March 27, 2007) and the older I get, I have a nephrologist, dietician and primary care PA, that keeping me off of dialysis. I was 33 when I donate my kidney to my childhood friend. I take iron supplements for the anemia and I will be 50 this September 2024. Every 3-6 months I have labs done to monitor my progress or distress. I've been healthier at stage 2 kidney disease and hope to maintain this range in the future.

This is one of the BEST chronic kidney disease videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you so much. I got diagnosed with CKD (nephrotic syndrome$ when I was 17 and I still take medications everyday to maintain the kidney function I still have. GOD has been good to me. Having resources like your channel is such a blessing.

[Iambecoming]

I actually have most of these symptoms and i just had to get a new PCP because I know there is something wrong. Thanks Dr Frita ❤ for this wise advice and video.

[marieantoine]

I had a kidney transplant in April Of 2019 . I am doing well . I want to know what to do to live a long life with my new kidney.
Thank you so much Dr.

[kaychristensen]

Just wanted to Thank You. I'm in Stage 3B. Family history of kidneydisease...constant UTI'S....Learned more from you than my Dr. regarding the symptoms.

[BeautifullyCreatedByYAH]

Hi Dr. Frira, I had no idea that dehydration could cause kidney failure. TFS and all you do!

[kristinnefertiti]

This video is too smart for me.... I will have to watch it again. Your knowledge and expertise are amazing.

I have been having a terrible headache in over 1 year, when I go to doctors they say that I am too young and look healthy to be sick. I was back and forth to the hospital but they have no idea what to do so they sent me home every time. But the other doctor check my blood pressure, it was up to 200 so they checked everything and they said after a month that I have shrinking kidneys and hypertension. After years they said that I have chronic kidney disease at stage 3. And now I get smaller pain in the back that lasted weeks. Couple months from now they will check me again

[theamakajoyce]

I lost my big sis last month feb 12, kidney issues. Am only here to learn more about it

[marlysmandy]

Thank you Dr Frita for this information - some of these symptoms are surprising to me, I appreciate and will store this information. I have had to take many different kinds of anti-inflammatories over the years & I believe they have been responsible for my being diagnosed with CKD on paper, I am researching & trying to learn how to stop the progression of this disease - I am 78 years young & plan to be around another 20 + years & believe it’s never to late to change your habits

[vickiekyles]

Information was so informative, I was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease, I have 90% of the symptoms that you spoke of, now added to my symptoms now is brain fog, I can’t remember some simple things, I see my doctor every three months now am 68 yrs old, my ankles stay swollen, trying my best to drink more water, would love to have a conversation with you!
