Are Your Kidneys Healthy? 6 Warning Signs to Look Out For

Posted by Guest Writer · December 03, 2020

Did you know that your kidneys are your body’s primary filtration system? These fist-sized organs clean your blood and rid your body of unnecessary waste. Once your blood flows into the kidneys and excess fluids and toxins are filtered out, your blood returns to the bloodstream, while the wastes pass out of the body through urine.

Several factors could cause waste to build up in your blood, such as your diet, pre-existing kidney damage, or diabetes. Suppose you have a condition that impacts your kidneys. In that case, they likely can’t filter out toxins efficiently, which can cause even more damage and lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD), if left untreated.

Handy Tool for Sciatica Relief

My new TENS 7000 rechargeable unit is a great addition for me to manage sciatica flares. I like that it is rechargeable and compact. Unit was recommended by my PT and I’m glad to have it.

YES!!!

Just say yes to this great machine. It is small and very easy to use. The rechargeable battery lasts forever. Works just like my chiropractors. I used before and am using after hip replacement surgery. My surgeon highly recommends stimulation therapy. Customer service is amazing too.
