Kidneys Drive The Heart But What's Driving Kidney Damage
Most of us don’t think about our kidneys.
A stunning fact is that we can lose almost 90% of renal function and have no symptoms at all.
When I worked in the dialysis unit with Dr. Jack Moncrief, half of those in the dialysis “banks” were there due to diabetes. Sustained high blood sugar. Kidneys do not like this.
Half were there due to excessive alcohol consumption and poor acidic life style choices.
Kidneys love alkaline. Not acid.
Everyone going through dialysis has heart disease.
