TREATMENT OF KIDNEY DISEASES /PROBLEMS IN
AFRICA HERBAL MEDICINE BY BABALAWO OBANIFA -Obanifa Extreme Documentaries –
Reformed Africa Ifa Spirituality (RAIS)-Herbal Healing Series
In this brief work Babalawo Obanifa will documents
some of the herbal formula available in the field of Africa Herbal Medicine for
the treatment of Kidney Problems. According
to Dr. Joseph Vassalotti, Chief Medical
Officer at the National Kidney Foundation.More than 37 million American adults
are living with kidney
disease and most don’t know it. “There are a number of physical signs of
kidney disease, but sometimes people attribute them to other conditions. Also,
those with kidney disease tend not to experience symptoms until the very late
stages, when the kidneys are failing or when
there are large amounts of protein in the urine. This is one of the reasons why
only 10% of people with chronic
kidney disease know that they have it,” says. Dr. Joseph Vassalotti, Chief
Medical Officer at the National Kidney Foundation
While
the only way to know for sure if you have kidney disease is to get tested, Dr.
Vassalotti shares 10 possible signs you may have kidney disease. If
you’re at risk for kidney disease due to high blood pressure,
diabetes, a family
history of kidney failure or if you’re older than age 60, it’s important to get
tested annually for kidney disease. Be sure to mention any symptoms you’re
experiencing to your healthcare practitioner.
1.
You're more
tired, have less energy or are having trouble concentrating. A severe decrease in kidney function can lead to a buildup
of toxins and impurities in the blood. This can cause people to feel tired,
weak and can make it hard to concentrate. Another complication of kidney
disease is anemia,
which can cause weakness and fatigue.
2.
You're
having trouble sleeping. When the
kidneys aren't filtering properly, toxins stay in the blood rather than leaving
the body through the urine. This can make it difficult to sleep. There is also
a link between obesity and chronic kidney disease, and sleep apnea is more
common in those with chronic kidney disease, compared with the general
population.
3.
You have dry
and itchy skin. Healthy kidneys do many important
jobs. They remove wastes and extra fluid from your body, help make red blood
cells, help keep bones strong and work to maintain the right amount of minerals
in your blood. Dry and itchy skin can be a sign of the mineral and bone
disease that often accompanies advanced kidney disease, when the kidneys are no
longer able to keep the right balance of minerals and nutrients in your blood.
4.
You feel the
need to urinate more often. If
you feel the need to urinate more often, especially at night, this can be a
sign of kidney disease. When the kidneys filters are damaged, it can cause an
increase in the urge to urinate. Sometimes this can also be a sign of a urinary
infection or enlarged prostate in men.
5.
You see
blood in your urine. Healthy kidneys typically keep the
blood cells in the body when filtering wastes from the blood to create urine,
but when the kidney's filters have been damaged, these blood cells can start to
"leak" out into the urine. In addition to signaling kidney disease,
blood in the urine can be indicative of tumors, kidney stones or an infection.
6.
Your urine
is foamy. Excessive bubbles in the urine –
especially those that require you to flush several times before they go
away—indicate protein in the urine. This foam may look like the foam you see
when scrambling eggs, as the common protein found in urine, albumin, is the
same protein that is found in eggs.
7.
You're
experiencing persistent puffiness around your eyes. Protein in the urine is an early sign that the kidneys’
filters have been damaged, allowing protein to leak into the urine. This
puffiness around your eyes can be due to the fact that your kidneys are leaking
a large amount of protein in the urine, rather than keeping it in the body.
8.
Your ankles
and feet are swollen. Decreased kidney function can lead
to sodium retention, causing swelling in your feet and ankles. Swelling in the
lower extremities can also be a sign of heart disease, liver disease and
chronic leg vein problems.
9.
You have a
poor appetite. This is a very general symptom, but
a buildup of toxins resulting from reduced kidney function can be one of the
causes.
10.
Your muscles
are cramping. Electrolyte imbalances can result
from impaired kidney function. For example, low calcium levels and poorly
controlled phosphorus may contribute to muscle cramping.
According

There are various sort of Kidney problems .Some kidney problems can be early
signs of chronic kidney disease (CKD), the type of kidney damage that can get
worse over time and lead to kidney failure. Finding and treating these problems
early can help prevent CKD from becoming kidney failure. Other kidney problems
can lead to CKD if they are not treated. Knowing your body and contacting your
health care provider when you notice something isn’t right can help you prevent
bigger problems in the future.
- Blood in urine
- Protein in urine
- Kidney stones
- Acute kidney injury
- Kidney infection
- Kidney pain
- Hepatitis C and kidney disease
Blood in urine
Blood
in your urine (pee) can be a sign that something is wrong with your kidneys or
another part of your urinary tract. Having blood in your urine does not
necessarily mean that you have kidney disease, but because kidney problems can
lead to kidney disease, it is important to treat the problem as soon as
possible. The treatment for blood in your urine depends on what is causing it.
Protein in urine
Having
protein in your urine is one of the earliest signs of kidney disease. Everyone
has protein in their blood. Healthy kidneys filter waste and fluid out of your
blood and leave nutrients you need, such as protein, in your blood. When the
tiny filters in your kidneys are damaged, they allow a protein called albumin
to escape from your blood into your urine. Treating this problem early can help
prevent it from getting worse
Kidney stones
Kidney
stones are one of the most common kidney problems. They are usually caused by a
buildup of certain minerals that clump together inside your kidneys. Large
kidney stones cause pain when they move through your urinary tract. You may not
feel anything if you have a small kidney stone that moves easily through your
urinary tract. When a kidney stone moves through your urinary tract and out of
your body with your urine, it is called passing a kidney stone
Acute kidney injury
When
your kidneys stop working in a matter of hours or days, it is called acute
kidney injury (AKI). AKI is a very serious problem that can be life-threatening
if it is not treated right away. Most of the time, AKI happens in people who
are already very sick and in the hospital. However, it can happen as a result
of an injury, infection or even some medicines.
Kidney infection
Kidney
infections are usually caused by bacteria that spread to your kidneys from
another part of your urinary tract. Common symptoms of kidney infections
include fever, vomiting or pain in your back, sides or groin. Women are more
likely to have kidney infections than men because of the way women’s bodies are
built. Treating kidney infections right away can help prevent permanent kidney
damage.
Kidney pain
Kidney
pain can be felt in your middle to upper back and/or sides. Pain in your back
or sides, however, does not necessarily mean there is something wrong with your
kidneys.
Hepatitis C and kidney disease
Hepatitis
C (hep C) is a viral disease that affects the liver. The liver is an organ in
the human body that converts everything you eat or drink into nutrients and
gets rid of toxins. There is a connection between hepatitis C and kidney
disease. Hep C can cause kidney disease, and sometimes kidney patients can get
hep C from hemodialysis, a treatment for kidney failure, if a medical facility
does not carefully follow guidelines for infection control.

Kidney Inflammation/Edema : Inflammation of the kidney
Nephritis
is inflammation of the kidney. The two most common causes of nephritis are
infection or an auto-immune process. Nephritis has the effect of damaging and
closing up the microscopic filters in the kidney. This means that in addition
to various toxic waste products, the inflamed kidney filters out important
proteins (larger molecules) from the blood. uTherefore the characteristic
symptom of nephritis is proteinuria - meaning the excessive removal of protein
from the blood and its excretion in urine.
