I find this blog post very interesting. I am an RN who is currently in school to obtain my bachelors degree. For the class that I am currently in, I have decided to write about preventable diseases. I have been able to visit a dialysis center and speak with some of the patients there. There were patients there that day that were in kidney failure due to diabetes and hypertension, however there was one woman who stood out to me. She was in kidney failure due to an overuse of medications. I found her story very interesting and helpful for my career, just as I find yours. I will remember these stories when teaching my patients the importance of prevention.

I really think early detection is the key treating any disease, especially CKD! Genetics play such a major roll in our health, knowing your risks could save your life.

thank you

This will surely look like an advertisement but why shouldn’t I share something I know will help hypertensive people? I’m a distributor of Tianshi Phils., the branch of Tiens in the Philippines. It has several gadgets following the principles of acupuncture and the most salable (sells like hotcake) is the comb gadget for hypertension, which only shows that there are a lot of hypertensive people. Here’s the URL of my blog post that has more details about it:

An FDA advisory panel just recommended that the warning for Covidien’s Optimark and GE’s Omnisca—drugs in the family of medications known as gadolinium-based contrast agents (DBCAs)—be updated to restrict their use in patients with severe kidney disease because of the potential for an increased risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). NSF causes thickening of the skin and organs. GBCAs carry a strong “black box” warning. This site has good information on this issue: http://www.gadolinium-mri.com/index.html??
