Ever wondered what happens in renal care and how it works? 🤔
The renal ward provides dialysis to patients with kidney failure or chronic kidney disease.
Dialysis is a way to clean your blood if your kidneys no longer work properly. 🩸
Kidneys are the body's filter. They remove waste from your blood and get rid of it through your urine (wee). They also help balance the fluids and electrolytes in your body and they produce hormones. 😮
Your kidneys do a busy job keeping you healthy, so it's important to look after them.
Things you can do to keep your kidneys healthy:
👉 drink lots of water
👉 exercise regularly
👉 eat a healthy, balanced diet
👉 don't smoke
👉 reduce alcohol
👉 if you have diabetes, keep your blood sugars well controlled
👉 manage high blood pressure.
