New method for early detection of kidney disease

Kidney disease is often difficult to detect. Therefore, many patients are hospitalized when their kidneys have been damaged by more than 50%.

However, it is now possible to detect the disease early by using the body's protein intake test method.

According to SC Tiwari, the head of the Neurology Department of the Indian Institute of Medical Research (AIIMC), the increase in serum creatinnin is not a 'true indicator' of kidney disease.

According to Mr. Tiwari, the protein intake test method can help early detection of kidney disease, contributing to high effectiveness in treatment.

Typically, the body's need for protein is 1 gram / kg body weight, but maximum protein absorption can be up to 3-4grams / kg body weight and can last for 2-3 days. Protein increases blood flow to the kidneys.

By measuring the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), it is possible to know the status of the kidney. If GFR increases by 20%, protein does not enter the urine, indicating that the kidneys are working properly.

If anyone has GFR below 70ml / min, the kidneys have been damaged by 20-25%.

Therefore, if detected early, the results of treatment of kidney disease will be very positive./.
