Grateful today and mindful of kidney health. 🦃
Simple holiday tips for general prevention:
* Savor small portions; pace the meal
* Choose lower-sodium sides; season with herbs/citrus
* Drink water between courses
* If you manage CKD, follow your personalized potassium and fluid plan
* For “day-after” aches, talk with your clinician before using routine NSAIDs

From all of us at Southeast Kidney Associates, wishing you a safe and healthy Thanksgiving.

November is World Diabetes Month. Small, steady actions protect kidney health: keep blood sugar in range, log home blood pressure, choose lower-sodium meals, move most days, and take medications as prescribed. Ask about kidney screening—eGFR (blood) and ACR (urine)—especially if you live with diabetes or hypertension. Early detection changes the story.

No tricks—just treats for your kidneys. 🎃
Keep the night fun and kidney-smart:
* Pace the sweets (small portions, enjoy slowly)
* Sip water between festivities
* Choose lower-sodium snacks; avoid “phos-” additives on labels
* If you manage CKD, follow your personalized potassium plan (pumpkin and certain chocolates can add up)
* Skip routine NSAIDs for “day-after” aches unless your clinician advises

Wishing you a safe, happy Halloween from Southeast Kidney Associates.

Diabetes & kidneys: the quiet handshake
Picture a delicate handshake between blood sugar and the kidney’s filters. When glucose runs high, the grip turns rough, stressing tiny capillaries and inviting protein to slip through. Steadier numbers mean a steadier handshake. Build a simple toolkit: A1c goals set with your clinician, CGM or finger-stick logs you review weekly, balanced meals that favor fiber and lean proteins, regular movement, and medications taken exactly as directed. Quiet consistency protects the filter—and the whole system.

Micro-habits that protect kidneys (a 24-hour flow)
Imagine the day as a gentle current. Micro-habits shape the flow. Morning: log your BP, take medications on time, hydrate wisely. Midday: choose whole foods over packaged options and add a short walk. Evening: light movement after dinner, limit late sodium, protect a steady sleep schedule.

One day becomes a week; a week becomes momentum. These small, repeatable acts support blood pressure, glucose balance, and kidney filtration—without overhaul or burnout.

Behind every smooth dialysis treatment is a skilled Dialysis Technician—calm hands, sharp eyes, and a deep commitment to safety. From water-quality checks and machine setup to infection control, access care, and real-time monitoring, their expertise keeps patients steady and supported.

This week, we honor their precision, teamwork, and heart.
Happy National Dialysis Technician Recognition Week (NANT)!

The heart–kidney loop (two systems, one story)
Two engines share one circuit. When the heart strains, the kidneys feel it; when kidneys struggle, the heart works harder. Think of a paired system where pressure, fluid balance, and hormones travel the same road. Protect the loop with steady blood pressure, balanced cholesterol, consistent movement, and restful sleep.

Choose lower-sodium meals, take medications as directed, and keep a simple BP log at home. Small, repeatable steps keep both engines efficient and resilient over time.

Blood pressure: your kidneys’ best friend

Think of blood pressure like a pressure valve guarding a vital pipeline. Keep the valve steady; the whole system thrives.

Do this to protect the “pipeline”:
* Measure blood pressure morning and night (same time, seated, two readings).
* Cook more, avoid extra salt, skip salty snacks.
* Take medications exactly as prescribed.
* Move most days—consistency beats intensity.
* Treat sleep apnea if present.

Small, steady changes keep the flow healthy.

🚫 Skip more often:

* 🌭 Processed meats & 🥨 salty snacks

✅ Smart swaps:
* 🌿 Herbs + 🍋 lemon instead of extra salt
* 💧 Water or unsweet tea instead of soda
* 🍗 Fresh lean meats/eggs/beans instead of hot dogs/sausages
* 🥕🍎 Whole foods (fruits, veggies, oats) instead of lots of packages

👩⚕️ Every body is different and your kidney helper (dietitian/clinician) will tell you what’s right for you.
