Understanding kidney health
The kidneys filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. Chronic kidney disease may have few symptoms at first. Diabetes and high blood pressure are important risk factors, so testing can matter even when you feel well.
Clinicians commonly use a blood test for estimated filtration (eGFR) and a urine test for albumin. Results need to be interpreted with your medical history and, sometimes, repeat testing.
Care that fits your kidney function
- Follow the blood pressure and glucose goals set by your treating team.
- Discuss salt, protein and other nutrition needs with your clinician or dietitian.
- Check before using supplements, herbal products or over-the-counter pain medicines.
- Keep scheduled tests and specialist follow-up appointments.

Agree on food and fluid changes with your treating team, based on your reports. Continue your essential prescribed kidney care while exploring suitable nutrition and lifestyle support.
Explore supportive naturopathy care
A naturopathy consultation with Dr. Jha is a place to discuss your meals, routine and wellbeing alongside your kidney reports. Food and fluid advice should be tailored to your kidney function and current care plan. Supportive naturopathy is not a replacement for essential kidney treatment.
