For many living with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), it feels like an uphill battle. But CKD progression isn't just "bad luck"—it’s driven by specific biological stressors that you can actually manage. In this video, we dive deep into the 3 "Hidden Drivers" of kidney damage: High Blood Pressure, Metabolic Acidosis, and Chronic Inflammation. We explain exactly WHY they cause scarring and, more importantly, the actionable steps you can take to protect your GFR and slow down the "slide." What You’ll Learn in This Video: Why CKD progresses (It’s not just inevitable!) The "Pressure Cooker" Effect: How High Blood Pressure tears kidney filters. How to lower kidney pressure with diet and specific medications (ACE/ARBs). The Acid Problem: What is Metabolic Acidosis and why is it "eating" your kidneys? How to check your labs for CO2/Bicarbonate and use alkaline foods to buffer acid. The Smoldering Fire: How silent inflammation leads to permanent kidney scarring. Anti-inflammatory lifestyle tips: Omega-3s, antioxidants, and movement. Key Resources Mentioned: Lab Values to Watch: GFR, Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (uACR), CO2/Bicarbonate. Kidney-Friendly Diet: Focus on plant-based "alkaline" foods, moderate clean proteins, more Omega 3s and low-sodium options. Consult Your Doctor: Always speak with your nephrologist before starting new supplements like Sodium Bicarbonate or Omega-3s.
