Urgent Call for Action: Raising Awareness of Kidney Health and Early Screening

Urgent Call for Action: Raising Awareness of Kidney Health and Early Screening
A:

In Singapore, doctors are urging more action on kidney health awareness and early screening. In recent years, the National Kidney Foundation (NKF) Singapore has witnessed a significant increase in demand for dialysis spots, with approximately 100 new applications received each month across its 41 centers. This number is nearly twice as high as it was five years ago. If no changes are made, the implication is that within the next few years, dialysis centers will reach a point where there will be no available spots for new patients.

 

In fact, the rising trend of chronic kidney problems and the prevalence of requiring dialysis does not only happen in Singapore but worldwide. This trend again reminds us that proper preemptive management is critical to prevent progression to dialysis. However, chronic kidney problems are known as the silent killer, and many people are unaware that their kidneys are suffering until too late. The ways to fight against this silent killer are still early screening and protection.

 

A urine test can detect a minuscule amount of blood or protein, revealing any potential impact on the kidneys' filtration function. Additionally, a blood test can determine creatinine's presence and tell if the kidneys are performing well. Some treatments help delay the progression and reinforce the kidneys if started in the early stages of chronic kidney problems. That's why it is important to do the early screening and ensure people in need are taking the treatments. Healthy lifestyles are also another crucial part of protecting kidney health. Eating well, staying active, monitoring blood sugar and blood pressure level, etc., can all play a role in maintaining kidney health.

 

The role of DTS in kidney protection

 

DTS is no doubt an effective choice for kidney support. It is suitable for those with poor kidney health and for daily health maintenance or prevention. The ingredients used in DTS are well-studied and proven beneficial for kidney and blood quality. Instead of supplementing a single nutrient, our formula is designed to restore and balance the body's systems, ensuring the kidney system has enough energy to work optimally.

 

It is not uncommon to see users with weak kidney health see positive results on their eGFR level (filtration function). Users who are generally healthy also benefit from DTS. Typically, they found better strength and sleep after taking DTS, which those signs are regarded as good kidney states in ancient Japanese therapy.

The presence of excess protein in the urine plays a vital role in understanding and managing chronic kidney problems. It serves as a significant indicator of kidney damage and is closely linked to the progression and severity of chronic kidney problems.   In healthy individuals, the kidneys act as filters, preventing the loss of essential proteins while eliminating waste products. However, when the kidneys are damaged, the filtering mechanism becomes compromised, resu

DTS is scientifically proven to be beneficial to kidney function and has a positive effect on supporting the eGFR level. It is suitable for people to use as kidney support. Some may wonder, how about individuals without any kidney issues? Is DTS good for them too?   Absolutely yes! As “prevention is better than cure” is one of the basic modern healthcare strategies, the best time to take DTS is right before any kidney and liver problems show up. The herbal
A:
Using creatinine as an indication of kidney function level is common, but just this number alone is not the optimal way to monitor kidney health nor to detect early kidney problems. According to professional recommendations, using an eGFR level is a more accurate indication of kidney health.   Creatinine is a by-product generated from protein metabolism. Therefore, muscle mass and diet can affect creatinine generation. For example, a muscular person or a person who cr

If the urine shows pink, red, or even brownish-red color instead of pale yellow, the first thing is to recall is the discolored urine caused by red pigments from medications or food like beetroots and red dragon fruit. If not, maybe it’s time to think about the possibility of blood present in the urine.   Blood in the urine is just a symptom, and sometimes it is not possible to see blood in the urine with naked eyes. A lab test is required to check for red blood
