Kidney disease means your kidneys aren't working properly and are beginning to lose their function. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) worsens over time. High blood pressure and diabetes are two common causes of CKD.

There's no cure for CKD, but you can take steps to preserve function for as long as possible.

If you have reduced kidney function:
✅Make and keep your regular healthcare provider visits. These providers monitor your kidney health.
✅ Manage your blood glucose (sugar) if you have diabetes.
✅ Avoid taking painkillers and other medications that may make your kidney disease worse.
✅ Manage your blood pressure levels.
✅ Follow a kidney-friendly diet. Dietary changes may include limiting protein, eating foods that reduce blood cholesterol levels and limiting sodium (salt) and potassium intake.
✅ Don't smoke.
✅ Exercise/be active on most days of the week.
✅ Stay at a weight that's healthy for you.

Late-stage kidney disease requires dialysis or a kidney transplant.

Noticing blood in your urine? While it could be caused by something harmless, like exercise or a minor infection, it may also signal something more serious, including kidney disease or cancer.
Blood in the urine (hematuria) should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional, whether visible or only found through testing.

Both gallstones and kidney stones are common and can exist inside your body without any issues. They won't cause pain or require treatment unless they move or get big enough to block the regular flow of fluids in their respective bodily systems.

Gallstones (gallbladder stones) develop in your digestive tract and can be as small as a grain of sand or as large as a golf ball. Gallstones can cause a blockage in your gallbladder or bile ducts. A diet high in fat or cholesterol can contribute to the development of gallstones.

Kidney stones develop in your urinary tract and can be as small as a grain of sand but can grow to several inches in diameter. Kidney stones move through your urinary tract into your ureter and block the flow of urine. A diet high in sodium, oxalates or animal protein can contribute to the development of kidney stones. An insufficient intake of fluids or calcium can also lead to the formation of kidney stones.

Symptoms of gallstones:
Abdominal pain.
Back pain.
Chest pain.
Nausea and vomiting.
Fever and chills.
Jaundice.
Dark-colored urine.

Gallstones cause pain in your mid-upper abdomen that may radiate to your back or under your right shoulder.

Symptoms of kidney stones:
Severe back pain that may travel down to your groin.
Nausea and vomiting.
Blood in your urine.
Painful urination.
Increased frequency or urgency of urination.
Foul-smelling or cloudy urine.
Fever and chills.

Kidney stones cause sharp pain in your lower back or side of your body, which may radiate to your lower abdomen and groin.
