00:00This month of June is known as National Kidney Month.
00:05That's why it's important for us to know how to take care of our kidneys.
00:10According to the National Kidney and Transplant Institute or NKTI,
00:14the number of people with chronic kidney disease is increasing whether they are young or old.
00:19Oh, so it's not just for the elderly.
00:21Yes, it's not just for the elderly.
00:22Even if they are young, it's still a problem.
00:24This morning, the doctor is in here at UH Clinic.
00:29Let's talk about kidneys.
00:30Let's talk to the chair of the celebration of National Kidney Month of NKTI,
00:35Dr. Marichelle Pile-Coronel.
00:37Good morning, Doc.
00:39Good morning to our viewers.
00:42Good morning.
00:43Good morning, Doc.
00:44First, what is the function of the kidneys in our body
00:48and what can happen if you have kidney disease?
00:52The function of our kidneys is very important.
00:57First of all, it cleanses the toxins in our body.
01:01It's like a trash can.
01:03What are these toxins, Doc?
01:05There are a lot of toxins that come out of our daily life.
01:10Of course, food and medicine.
01:12All of that…
01:13It cleanses?
01:14Yes, it cleanses.
01:16The dirt or toxins come out in the way of the kidneys.
01:20So, our kidneys, right?
01:22Usually, when you smell it, it's smelly.
01:24What does it mean when it's smelly?
01:26It means that your kidneys are working properly
01:30to get rid of the toxins.
01:32So, can you imagine,
01:34if the toxins are gone,
01:36you'll be poisoned.
01:37Your body will be poisoned.
01:39That's why it increases…
01:41We do blood tests.
01:44Most of them are creatinine.
01:46So, if you have creatinine,
01:48you'll be worried.
01:50Aside from creatinine,
01:53are there any symptoms
01:55or signs
01:57of problems in our bones?
01:59That's a good question.
02:01Symptoms,
02:03for some people,
02:05it can be increased blood pressure.
02:07That's one of the symptoms.
02:09If there's a bulge in the uterus.
02:11Bulge?
02:12Yes.
02:13How big is the bulge?
02:14We can see that there's a bulge.
02:16What does bulge mean?
02:18Air?
02:19Protein.
02:21Protein will be released
02:23from our uterus.
02:25There should be no protein,
02:27no blood in the uterus,
02:29and no infection.
02:31If you see that in your uterus,
02:33consult a doctor.
02:35What about the bulge?
02:37Yes.
02:39Every uterus can have a bulge.
02:41Consult a doctor.
02:43Doctor, there's always a lower back pain.
02:45Is it true that
02:47if your back hurts,
02:49it doesn't matter
02:51if it's the left or right
02:53lower back?
02:55The back pain
02:57can be a kidney
02:59or not.
03:01Our bones are located
03:03in the upper part.
03:05It's not located in the lower part.
03:07It's located in the upper part.
03:09It's what we call
03:11the flank area.
03:13If that's what's hurting,
03:15it's possible that there's a stone
03:17in your lower back.
03:19Can you show us?
03:21Please point to Susan's back
03:23so that she can see it.
03:25I have a broken bone.
03:27This is where
03:29our kidney is located.
03:31This is where it hurts.
03:33Not here.
03:35This is where it hurts.
03:37If your back hurts,
03:39maybe you're just getting older.
03:41Maybe you're moving
03:43in the wrong direction.
03:46Maybe you're moving in the wrong direction.
03:48Maybe you're moving in the wrong direction.
03:50Do you have any indication
03:52of the color of your kidneys?
03:54You mentioned earlier
03:56that there should be no redness.
03:58What other indications do you have?
04:00If our kidneys are red,
04:02it can mean
04:04that we have blood
04:06in our kidneys.
04:08Or if it's colored.
04:10But if, for example,
04:12the color is just bright yellow,
04:14it can mean that we're dehydrated
04:16and we need to drink a lot of water.
04:18and we need to drink a lot of water.
04:20The color of our kidneys should be clear.
04:22The color of our kidneys should be clear.
04:24Yes, that's the idea.
04:26Is it true that stopping urinating
04:28can cause kidney stones?
04:30Especially if you do it often.
04:32We have a high chance
04:34We have a high chance
04:36of urinary tract infection
04:38if we stop urinating.
04:40If we stop urinating.
04:42The urinary tract remains.
04:44That's why bacteria
04:46multiply faster.
04:48multiply faster.
04:50It's important
04:52to stop urinating
04:54when you drink water.
04:56You shouldn't stop urinating
04:58because you're throwing the garbage
05:00in your body when you urinate.
05:02Doc, the number of kidney stones
05:04is rising. What's the cause?
05:06Nowadays, many of us
05:08are diagnosed with diabetes.
05:11Diabetes and hypertension.
05:13It's no longer an issue
05:15in our age group.
05:17Especially for kids.
05:19There are diabetes and hypertension.
05:21That's what we need to focus on.
05:23Is it related to lifestyle?
05:25Yes.
05:27If you're diabetic or hypertensive,
05:29your kidneys can be affected.
05:31The complication of diabetes
05:33is
05:35diabetic nephropathy
05:37is diabetic nephropathy
05:39or chronic kidney disease.
05:41It's the same with hypertension.
05:43Some people donate
05:45their kidneys.
05:47Is it safe?
05:49Will it function properly?
05:51Will it function
05:53even if there's only one kidney left?
05:55Organ donation
05:57is one of our advocacies
05:59to improve
06:01the lives of our family members
06:03who need a kidney transplant.
06:05We ensure
06:07that our donors
06:09are healthy.
06:11We can live
06:13even if there's only one kidney stone.
06:15As long as the stones are healthy,
06:17they will be able to do
06:19their job
06:21in cleaning our blood.
06:23How can we take care
06:25of our kidneys?
06:27What should we do
06:29to make them healthy?
06:31The first thing
06:34is lifestyle modification.
06:36Diet, exercise,
06:38we should avoid
06:40processed food,
06:42salty food,
06:44and salt.
06:46If it's too salty,
06:48we should eat
06:50in moderation.
06:52We should be careful.
06:54It's hard if you can't eat.
06:56I hope
06:58you learned a lot
07:00from this consultation.
07:02Thank you so much,
07:04Dr. Marichelle Pile-Coronel.
07:06Thank you.
07:08We'll talk more about health
07:10in the next episode.
