Friends, many people have question in their mind 'Can their GFR be improved?'

GFR is a number that is evaluated by analyzing your creatinine, age and

gender. Creatinine is the waste product

that is produced during muscle break down. This waste product is found in your blood.

Generally, your kidneys filter out this waste product through urine.

If your blood has higher amount of creatinine, it means your kidneys

are not working properly. Your healthy creatinine level depends upon the factors that

how much muscles you have, how is your body structure and are you athletic or not?

That's why, normal creatinine level of every individual varies. So, only with the creatinine value,

the kidney functionality can't be detected. Thus, we use GFR number.

GFR is an accurate number that helps in detecting

how is your kidneys working currenly. It also reveals, at which stage your

kidney diseases are. If your GFR is dropping down continuously, then it's a dangerous sign.

Generally, your GFR should be higher than 60 and your creatinine level

should be lower than 1.2 mg/dL. So, can your GFR number be improved with proper diet

and exercises. In general, proper diet and exercising

are good for your overall health. Instead of ordering or taking foods not cooked at home,

intaking fruits and vegetables can be more beneficial for your health. It's also necessary to understand

that consuming low salt in your diet is good for your health.

It also helps in maintaining your blood pressure. The protein does not leak into your urine

and you won't notice any kind of respiration related problems. You need to limit another type of

nutrient that is known as protein. If your diet contains a rich amount of protein

then your body weight will start dropping. Intaking high amount of protein is good for the people whose

kidneys are working properly. But if your kidneys are failed and still

you are consuming protein in rich amount then it'll put a pressure on your kidneys.

Your kidneys won' excrete excess protein from your body but when

you consume a very little amount of protein, your muscles will start breaking that will cause more problem in your body.

In such kind of condition, you may notice many other health complications but increased GFR.

So, it's necessary to intake foods that your dietician

has designed for you. Your dietician considers your current health

as well as kidneys' health and prepares a diet chart accordingly.

By following this diet, you can improve your GFR number slowly.

Many studies have shown that exercising helps in improving health of the kidneys.

And it can also increase your GFR number. But you shouldn't follow intense exercises

and you won't need to lift heavy weights in gym. By walking daily in a normal pitch, you can

improve your kidney condition. By exercising properly, your extra

weight will get controlled. During kidney disease, it's necessary to

maintain a healthy weight so that along with the kidneys, your other body organs

can function properly and they won't face any kind of problems. It means

by following a proper diet and exercising can help in improving GFR.

But some people notice that even after following these, their kidney diseases

are going worse continuouslY. They develop kidney disease kidney disease, it doesn't matter how healthy their lifestyle is.

such as diabetes and high blood pressure. It means even after following a healthy lifestyle,
