“Welcome to our in-depth exploration of Chronic Kidney Disease, commonly referred to as CKD. This condition, often silent in its early stages, is a significant global health concern. The kidneys, two bean-shaped organs located just below the ribcage on either side of the spine, play a pivotal role in our overall health. Their primary function is to filter out waste products, toxins, and excess fluids from our bloodstream, producing urine. When these organs are compromised, it can lead to a cascade of health challenges. Today, we’ll embark on a journey to understand CKD, its implications, and its profound impact on human health. By the end of this presentation, you’ll have a comprehensive understanding of what CKD is, why it matters, and how it affects the body.”

00:00:55 Comprehensive presentation on CKD covers definition, stages, symptoms, complications, early detection, diagnosis, hope, and empowerment.
00:05:15 CKD involves loss of nephrons, affecting kidney’s ability to filter blood; measured by GFR, and can be indicated by kidney damage or reduced function lasting 3+ months.
00:07:24 Kidney damage progresses through stages, starting with normal GFR, then mild reduction, and finally a pronounced decline.
00:10:17 High blood pressure, glomerular nephrology, polycystic kidney disease, kidney infections, and kidney cancer can contribute to chronic kidney disease.
00:15:57 CKD causes complications like high blood pressure, anemia, and poor bone health due to kidney damage.
00:19:37 Detecting kidney damage early is crucial for overall health. Regular screenings, including blood and urine tests, can provide valuable information. Monitoring proteinuria and GFR are key indicators. Diabetics should especially check for protein in urine. Early detection is like having a map in a maze, offering direction and control. Prioritizing kidney health is essential.
00:21:38 Advocate for health, family connections, collaboration, knowledge, tools, support, challenges of CKD, no despair, opportunity to learn, grow, adapt, live life fully, timely interventions, right care, positive outlook, fulfilling lives, champion kidney health, embrace knowledge, hope, determination, scribe to channel for learning.

versions of this video let's get started
227.94 -> what is CKD chronic kidney disease or CKD is a
condition where kidneys lose their ability to
235.92 -> function optimally over time but what does this
really mean the kidneys are our body's natural
241.62 -> filtration system every day they filter about
120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about
249.06 -> one to two quarts of urine the urine contains
waste and extra fluid that's from your body
255.24 -> when the kidneys are damaged they can't filter
blood as they should and that leads to a waste
261.54 -> buildup in the body over time this can lead
to a myriad of Health complications CKD is not
267.9 -> just a temporary malfunction it's a prolonged
often Progressive decline in kidney function
275.04 -> this decline can be so gradual that symptoms might
not appear until the kidneys are significantly
280.26 -> damaged the impacts the implications of CKD
are vast affecting everything from bone health
287.76 -> to cardiovascular function and even impacting
neurological and respiratory systems you see your
294.12 -> kidneys have nephrons which are really small units
of capillaries where the blood goes in and then
303 -> the waste is filtered out and over time as those
are damaged and you lose the ability for each of
310.08 -> them to work that is what causes the additional
decline in your function your kidneys have a lot
317.34 -> of backup um capacity but over time and based on
different conditions you can lose those nephrons
327.42 -> and then your body has less ability to filter your
blood and get the extra waste out and that's what
335.1 -> causes the symptoms and issues with chronic kidney
disease defining CKD involves understanding both
343.02 -> kidney damage and its functional implications
CKD is characterized either by kidney damage
350.4 -> damage or reduced kidney function that persists
for three months or more so how do we measure
356.64 -> this one of the primary metrics used is glomerular
filtration rate or GFR eGFR this rate gauges how
366.12 -> efficiently the kidneys filter blood a decline
in GFR can indicate a reduced kidney function
374.46 -> kidney damage on the other hand can manifest
in various ways there could be structural
379.98 -> abnormalities visible in imaging tests or
functional abnormalities like the presence
386.16 -> of protein in the urine it's essential to
understand that CKD is not a one-off event
391.68 -> it's a chronic condition meaning it's long
lasting and often Progressive the damage may
398.82 -> be slow but its implications are profound
affecting most every system in the body
404.94 -> so chronic kidney disease is not a static
condition it progresses through distinct stages
411 -> each representing a different level of kidney
function understanding these stages is pivotal
417.18 -> not just from medical professionals but for
patients and caregivers like yourself it changes
423.6 -> and it shapes the therapeutic approach dietary
recommendations and overall management strategy
431.7 -> the progression is mapped using the glomerular
filtration rate that we just talked about which
437.58 -> measures how well the kidneys filter blood
so stage one somewhat deceptive here there
444.9 -> are kidney damage there is kidney damage
but the GFR is still normal or high often
450.6 -> 90 milliliters per minute or more the stage
is a wake-up call signaling what while kidney
456.42 -> function might be adequate now there's
underlying damage that needs attention
462.42 -> stage two sees a mild reduction in GFR
dropping between 60 to 89 it's a clear
469.92 -> indication that the kidneys aren't functioning at
their best even if overt symptoms aren't present
476.7 -> now as we move into stage three the situation
becomes more nuanced and serious stage three is
484.14 -> further divided into two substages stage 3A has a
GFR ranging from 45 to 59 milliliters per minute
492.72 -> indicating an initially a moderate reduction in
kidney function at this stage some individuals
499.68 -> might start to experience subtle symptoms though
many may still remain asymptomatic stage 3B on
507 -> the other hand sees a GFR drop in between 30 to
44 milliliters per minute representing a more
514.26 -> pronounced decline in kidney function symptoms
such as fatigue fluid retention and noticeable
520.74 -> changes in urine including its frequency
amount and color might become more prevalent
527.94 -> both substages emphasize the importance of
monitoring and intervention as the progression
533.7 -> from stage 3A to 3B can significantly signify a
critical turning point in the management of CKD
542.22 -> stage four is a critical juncture with the GFR
of 15 to 29 milliliters per minute there's a
549.12 -> severe reduction in kidney function the body
struggles to filter waste and the complications
554.82 -> like anemia or bone disease might arise finally
stage five represents end-stage renal disease
562.98 -> here the GFR is less than 15 mils per minute
or the patient is on dialysis it's the most
569.34 -> severe form of CKD where the kidneys have
lost nearly all their filtering capability
575.16 -> understanding these stages is more than just
knowing numbers it's about recognizing the Journey
580.32 -> of CKD being proactive at each stage and making
informed decisions about treatment and lifestyle
587.22 -> let's talk about the things that cause CKD
um while the stages of CKD provide kind of
594.96 -> a road map to how it progresses it's equally
crucial to understand its root causes several
601.08 -> underlying conditions and diseases can lead to CKD
diabetes is a leading cause prolonged high blood
608.76 -> sugar levels can damage those tiny blood vessels
in the nephrons in the kidneys impairing their
615.66 -> ability to filter waste effectively hypertension
or high blood pressure is another major culprit
621.78 -> elevated blood pressure can strain the kidneys
over time leading to damage and reduced function
628.32 -> glomerular nephritis refers to the inflammation
of the glomeruli which is in the nephrons
636 -> the tiny filtering units of the kidneys well
it's often caused by an immune response the
641.82 -> exact reasons can vary polycystic kidney disease
is a genetic disorder where numerous cysts form
648.84 -> in the kidneys these cysts can enlarge the
kidneys and impair their function over time
655.26 -> recurrent kidney infections can also contribute
to CKD persistent infections can Scar the kidneys
661.8 -> reducing their ability to filter blood and you may
develop kidney cancer and have to have a kidney
668.64 -> removed which progresses the disease because you
all of a sudden have half the functionality and
675.78 -> while your kidneys have additional capacity as you
age that capacity is reduced so if you happen to
682.92 -> have had kidney cancer and you've had a kidney
removed and you're cured congratulations but
689.28 -> you may end up having to manage chronic kidney
disease understanding these causes is pivotal it
696.78 -> allows for early intervention targeted treatment
and can guide the preventative measures especially
701.94 -> for those at risk now let's talk about risk
factors what makes you more at risk for chronic
708.36 -> kidney disease beyond the direct causes of CKD
there are several risk factors that can amplify
714.06 -> the likelihood of developing this condition there
are elements or behaviors that might not directly
719.88 -> cause CKD but can increase its probability family
history plays a role genetics can pre-dispose
727.32 -> individuals to kidney challenges making those
with family history of CKD more susceptible one
733.86 -> of those examples is polycystic kidney disease
is typically a genetic condition that's passed
739.02 -> down and that can make you more susceptible to
chronic kidney disease age is another Factor as
745.2 -> we grow older our kidneys naturally lose some
of their efficiency increasing the risk of CKD
753.54 -> cardiovascular diseases such as heart heart
disease or stroke have a bi-directional
759.18 -> relationship with CKD one can increase the
risk of the other creating a vicious cycle
764.64 -> of deteriorating health obesity puts strain on
the kidneys excess weight can lead to diabetes
770.82 -> and hypertension which are also both major
causes of CKD smoking can damage the kidneys
777.42 -> blood vessels reducing blood flow to the kidneys
and impairing their function over time can also
784.14 -> cause high blood pressure recognizing these risk
factors and taking proactive steps to manage or
790.5 -> eliminate them can be a significant stride in
CKD prevention or also slowing the progression
797.16 -> if you found out that you have CKD chronic kidney
disease is often termed the silent killer because
804.48 -> it can be elusive in its early stages you may not
even be aware that you have any issues presenting
811.26 -> little to no symptoms the silent progression can
be deceptive leading many to believe they're in
816.48 -> good health when in reality their kidneys are
slowly losing their ability to function optimally
822.36 -> so some symptoms might be fatigue and weakness
those are among the first symptoms many people
828.84 -> experience as the kidneys filtering
capability diminishes toxins can build
834.3 -> up in your bloodstream leading to general
feeling of tiredness and lack of energy
839.88 -> isn't the usual end of day fatigue it's a
persistent lethargy that doesn't improve with rest
846.54 -> fluid retention can lead to swelling in the
ankles feet and sometimes even your hands
851.46 -> the kidneys when functioning properly balance
fluid levels in the body and eliminate excess
858.24 -> fluids but as CKD progresses this balance
is disrupted leading to noticeable swelling
865.14 -> shortness of breath can be a direct result of
fluid buildup in the lungs additionally anemia
870.78 -> a common complication of CKD can deprive the body
of the oxygen it needs leading to breathlessness
879 -> nausea vomiting and a loss of appetite
can stem from the accumulation of waste
883.86 -> products in the bloodstream affecting
digestion and taste preferences
888.78 -> persistent itching is another symptom that many
with CKD experience elevated levels of phosphorus
895.14 -> in the blood can lead to itchy skin a condition
that can be both uncomfortable and distressing
900.78 -> changes in urine output and color can be
indicated indicative of kidney challenges
907.56 -> this could manifest as a foamy urine blood in
the urine or even frequent nighttime urination
914.82 -> recognizing these symptoms early on is crucial
while they may seem benign or unrelated in
920.22 -> combination they paint a picture of Kidney
Health that requires attention and intervention
925.98 -> I want to remind you at this point that you
can talk to your doctor you can look at your
931.14 -> Labs you can have your GFR tested very easily
it's just a blood test so if you're concerned
936.78 -> if you have some of these risk factors
having someone test it on a regular basis
942.18 -> keeps you in line with knowing when things
are starting to possibly uh become a problem
949.5 -> so let's talk about some of the complications
that can arise from chronic kidney disease
954.18 -> unchecked chronic kidney disease doesn't
just affect the kidneys its repercussions
958.62 -> Ripple throughout the body leading to a host
of complications that can significantly impact
963.9 -> one's quality of life high blood pressure is
both a cause and a complication of CKD damaged
971.22 -> kidneys can't effectively regulate blood pressure
leading to hypertension a lot of people don't know
976.98 -> that your kidneys are a huge play a huge part
a huge role in maintaining your blood pressure
983.94 -> so this in turn can cause further damage
to the kidneys creating that vicious cycle
989.04 -> of deteriorating Health anemia is common in CKD
patients healthy kidneys produce a hormone called
995.82 -> erythropoietin which signals the body
to produce red blood cells but damaged
1000.98 -> kidneys produce less of this hormone so
it's leading to A reduced red blood cell
1006.8 -> count and consequentially consequently anemia
anemia leads to the fatigue and the tiredness
1014.96 -> um that you may experience as well your
bone health bone health is intricately
1020.6 -> linked to kidney function CKD can disrupt the
balance of calcium and phosphorus in the blood
1026.06 -> leading to weakened bones and an increased risk
of fractures this is called CKD MBD that is one
1033.98 -> of the complications as you progress in chronic
kidney disease CKD mineral bone disease MBD
1041.36 -> malnutrition is another concern CKD can alter
taste preferences reduce your appetite and lead
1048.02 -> to digestive challenges making it difficult
for patients to get the nutrients they need
1053.18 -> nerve damage can result from the accumulation
of waste products in the bloodstream leading
1059.3 -> to numbness weakness and even pain in your
extremities neuropathy lastly cardiovascular
1066.5 -> disease is a significant concern for those with
CKD the two conditions share several risk factors
1072.44 -> and CKD can exacerbate heart challenges making
it the leading cause of death among CKD patients
1079.04 -> understanding these complications underscores
the multifaceted challenges of CKD it's not
1085.88 -> just about Kidney Health it's about holistic
well-being embracing the need for comprehensive
1091.28 -> care and management so let's talk about early
detection because that is not just beneficial
1098.48 -> it's transformative the kidneys while resist
resilient can only endure so much damage before
1104.84 -> their function is irreversibly compromised
the earlier CKD is identified the broader the
1111.02 -> range of interventions available to manage and
potentially reverse the course of the disease
1117.32 -> why is early detection so pivotal pivotal firstly
CKD in its initial stages is often asymptomatic
1125.36 -> this means that significant kidney damage can
occur before any noticeable symptoms arise
1130.58 -> by the time symptoms become evident the disease
might have already progressed to a more advanced
1137 -> stage limiting treatment options secondly early
detection allows for timely interventions that
1144.08 -> can slow or halt the progression of the disease
simple Lifestyle Changes dietary modifications
1150.8 -> and medications can have a profound impact when
implemented early for instance controlling blood
1157.76 -> pressure and blood sugar levels can significantly
reduce the rate of kidney function Decline and
1164.54 -> that is something I hear all the time people want
to know can I reverse the progression of chronic
1169.46 -> kidney disease and while your GFR May fluctuate
it tends to only go in One Direction so if you
1178.94 -> can slow that progression in or even stop the
progression that is a huge win for you in terms
1186.32 -> of overall health furthermore regular screenings
are invaluable especially for those at higher
1192.68 -> risk simple blood and urine tests can provide
a wealth of information about Kidney Health
1198.26 -> like I mentioned before for instance the presence
of protein in the urine known as protein area can
1204.2 -> be an early sign of kidney damage and monitoring
the glomerular filtration rate GFR can provide
1210.98 -> insights into how well the kidneys are filtering
blood I know I didn't mention the protein but I
1216.56 -> did mention the GFR before one of the things
your doctors especially if you're a diabetic
1222.02 -> you need to have checked is protein in
your urine to see if your kidneys are
1229.4 -> getting too much damage in essence early detection
is akin to being handed a map in a maze it
1236.36 -> provides Direction Clarity and a path forward
turning a potentially daunting journey into a
1241.82 -> manageable one it's about taking control being
proactive and prioritizing Kidney Health before
1247.46 -> it becomes a crisis overview of what we just
talked about as we conclude this little little
1253.76 -> jaunt into the information about chronic kidney
disease it's essential to reflect on the journey
1259.46 -> we've undertaken CKD with its complexities and
challenges is a testament to the resilience of
1265.34 -> human spirit it's a condition that demands
understanding empathy and proactive care but
1270.92 -> it's also a condition that underscores the power
of knowledge with awareness comes empowerment
1276.08 -> with understanding comes the ability to make
informed decisions to take control of oneself
1281.42 -> and to a chart a path forward filled with hope
and optimism the journey with CKD is not one to
1288.02 -> be undertaken alone it's a collaborative effort
involving medical professionals caregivers family
1293.66 -> and most importantly the person with ckt at the
center you have to advocate for your own health
1300.26 -> but you also have to um it's those family
connections and collaborative effort make it
1306.56 -> so much healthier for you together with the right
knowledge tools and support the challenges of CKD
1313.34 -> can be met it head-on in the face of CKD there's
no room for despair instead There's an opportunity
1319.46 -> an opportunity to learn to grow to adapt and to
live life to its fullest with timely interventions
1326.06 -> the right care and a positive outlook those
with CKD can lead fulfilling meaningful lives
1331.46 -> so let's Champion Kidney Health embrace the power
of knowledge and look to the future with hope and
1336.74 -> determination and I would ask you to subscribe
to our channel to keep on learning we're going
