12.  Complications of Kidney Disease  Increased Heart Attacks  Increased Strokes  Increased Infections  Weak Bones  Anemia  Dialysis  Death Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

13.  Stages of CKD Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) STAGESDESCRIPTIONGFR 1 Kidney Damage (e.g. protein in the urine) and Normal Kidney Function Above 90 2 Kidney Damage And Mild Loss of Kidney Function 60 to 89 3 Moderate Loss of Kidney Function 30 to 59 4 Severe Loss of Kidney Function 15 to 29 5 Kidney Failure Below 15

14.  Know Your Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)  GFR is a calculation of your kidney function  GFR can be calculated from the results of a simple blood test considering factors such as age, race and gender  If you have Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, a Family History of Kidney Disease, or any other risk factor, ask your doctor about having tests done for GFR Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

15.  Prevention  Maintain a healthy weight  Check cholesterol at least yearly – must be less than 199  Check Blood Sugar at least once a day – must be controlled at 70- 120 before meals  Check HgA1C (if a diabetic) quarterly – must be less than 6.2  Check your Creatinine – normal 0.6 – 1.2  Ask your physician to check your urine for protein  Good blood pressure control (120/70) through proper diet and exercise.

17.  Facts About Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Cont.  Persistent proteinuria means CKD  High-risk groups include those with diabetes, hypertension and family history of kidney disease  African American, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, Native American and seniors are at an increased risk  Three simple tests can detect CKD: 1.Blood Pressure 2.Urine Albumin 3.Serum Creatinine Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
