Chronic kidney disease (CKD and chronic renal disease) means that there’s damage to your kidneys and they aren’t working as well as they should. Your kidneys are like a filter in your body filtering out wastes, toxins and extra water from your blood. They also help with other functions like bone and red blood cell health. When your kidneys lose their function, they can’t filter waste, which means it builds up in your blood.

Kidney infections are urinary tract infections that usually move from your bladder to your kidneys. Bacteria are the most common cause. Symptoms include fever, trouble peeing, lower back pain and pain when you pee. Kidney infections are treated with antibiotics.

Can kidney infections be prevented?

Kidney infections often start as infections in your bladder. Preventing these lower urinary tract infections is the first step in preventing kidney infections. Some ways to prevent infections in all parts of your urinary tract include:

• Drink plenty of fluids. Talk to your healthcare provider about the amount of water and other fluids they recommend for you each day.
• Empty your bladder. Holding in your pee can help bacteria grow.
• Pee before and after having sex. This helps remove any bacteria that’s in your urinary tract.
• Practice good hygiene. Things like showering regularly and changing out of wet or sweaty underwear can help prevent bacteria from getting into your body. After you poop, wipe from front to back. This helps push bacteria in your poop away from openings in your body.

kidney function tests

• Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures nitrogen (made from protein breakdown) in the blood.
• Estimated GFR (eGFR) calculates filtration rates based on protein levels, age, gender, size and race.

• Serum creatinine looks for the buildup of creatinine, a waste product from muscle tissue breakdown.

      24-hour urine tests:

• Microalbuminuria looks for a specific protein called albumin.
• Urinalysis evaluates urine for blood, proteins and function.
