Kidneys are an important site of toxin excretion, and their ability to protect against toxins will age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As we age we are at risk for kidney damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have kidney function issues you are at risk for many diseases, including problems with fatigue and nutrition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do have kidney damage you are more at risk for infections, as well as other health consequences, and you need to make sure your vaccinations are up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Extent of kidney damage is measured by blood testing, and any degree of kidney damage is measured over a three month period of time. Not just one test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most causes of early kidney damage are reversible if you work with your primary care physician. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
