It is called a silet disease, because may people do t have ay symptoms util their kideys are about to fail. The oly way to kow is to get your kideys checked with blood ad urie tests. 1. A blood test checks your GFR, which tells how well your kideys are filterig. GFR stads for glomerular filtratio rate. 2. A urie test checks for albumi. Albumi is a protei that ca pass ito the urie whe the kideys are damaged. These two tests are used to moitor CKD ad make sure that treatmet is workig. See pages 9 ad 10 to lear more about these tests ad track your results. 3
5 What causes CKD? Diabetes ad high blood pressure are the most commo causes of CKD. Your provider will look at your health history ad may do other tests. You eed to kow why you have CKD, so your treatmet ca address the cause of the CKD. What medicies are used to treat CKD?

Two types of blood pressure medicies ACE ihibitors ad ARBs may slow CKD ad delay kidey failure, eve i people who do t have high blood pressure. May people eed to take two or more medicies for their blood pressure. They also may eed to take a diuretic (water pill). The goal is to keep your blood pressure at the level set by your health care provider. Do I eed to chage my medicies? Some medicies are ot safe for people with CKD. Other medicies eed to be take i smaller doses. Tell your provider about all the medicies you take, icludig over-the-couter medicies (those you get without a prescriptio), vitamis, ad supplemets. 4
6 Ca CKD affect my health i other ways? People with CKD ofte have high blood pressure. They ca also develop aemia (low umber of red blood cells), boe disease, malutritio, ad heart ad blood vessel diseases. What tests will help track my CKD? The blood ad urie tests used to check for CKD are also used to moitor CKD. You eed to keep track of your test results to see how you re doig. Track your blood pressure. If you have diabetes, moitor your blood glucose ad keep it i your target rage. Like high blood pressure, high blood glucose ca be harmful to your kideys.

Others progress quickly to kidey failure. You may delay dialysis if you follow your provider s advice o medicie, diet, ad lifestyle chages. If your kideys fail, you will eed dialysis or a kidey trasplat to maitai health. Most people with kidey failure are treated with dialysis. 5
7 Will I be able to get a kidey trasplat istead of goig o dialysis? Some people with kidey failure may be able to receive a kidey trasplat. The doated kidey ca come from someoe you do t kow who has recetly died, or from a livig perso a relative, spouse, or fried. A kidey trasplat is t for everyoe. You may have a coditio that makes the trasplat surgery dagerous or ot likely to succeed. 6

9 Your provider may refer you to a dietitia. Your dietitia will teach you how to choose foods that are easier o your kideys. You will also lear about the utriets that matter for CKD. Do I eed to chage what I drik? Water You do t eed to drik more water uless you have kidey stoes. Drik as much water as you ormally do. Soda ad other driks If you are told to limit phosphorus, choose light-colored soda (or pop), like lemo-lime, ad homemade iced tea ad lemoade.
