3 ways to increase GFR 8-11 points! #increaseGFR #kidneydiseaseGFR #kidneydiseasediet #shorts

Welcome to Healthy Kidney Inc. In this short video we go over 3 ways to increase GFR levels to as much as 8-11 points. GFR is an acronym for glomerular filtration rate. GFR is a measure of how well your kidneys filter blood.

The kidneys function to filter your blood by getting rid of waste and excess fluid to make urine. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) shows how well the kidneys are doing this filtering process. An estimated 37 million adults in the United States may have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and can take the steps needed to protect their kidney function when it is found early.

The way most kidney patients can get their GFR levels checked is with a simple blood test that measures their creatinine levels. Creatinine is a waste product that derives from the digestion of dietary protein and the normal breakdown of muscle tissue. Aside from chronic kidney disease, creatinine levels can be affected by other factors including diet; muscle mass, which is the weight of your muscles; malnutrition; and other chronic illnesses. With proper diet and supplementation, kidney patients can work to increase their GFR which is a direct reflection of how well their kidneys are operating.

The first way we recommend lowering GFR is by following a low protein diet. Studies suggest that a low-protein diet (LPD) may lower the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline rate and delay the initiation of renal replacement therapy. This is because a low protein diet puts less stress on the kidneys. The second way to increase GFR levels is to take NAC. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) has been reported to protect the kidney from injury induced by toxins and other things. In all these studies, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the measurement of kidney injury and serum creatinine changes are the measured metric of GFR. To your best kidney health everyone!
