For a comprehensive overview of chronic kidney disease (CKD), from basic terminology to risk factors and matching a treatment option to your lifestyle, DaVita has all the in-depth information CKD patients and their care partners need.
Understanding your kidney disease, or renal disease, is the first step in taking control of your health. When you have kidney disease, your kidneys are no longer able to remove waste effectively from your body or to balance your fluids. The build up of wastes can change the chemistry of your body causing some symptoms that you can feel, and others that you don't.
With kidney diseases, the first symptoms you may have are ones that you won't feel but that will show up in tests that your doctor orders. Common problems are high blood pressure, anemia and weakening bones. It is important to find a kidney doctor (also called a nephrologist). Partner closely with your doctor and your healthcare team as early as possible.
Your kidneys—two bean-shaped organs located in your lower back—are your body's filtration system, cleaning wastes and extra fluids from your body and producing and balancing chemicals that are necessary for your body to function. Healthy kidneys also:
Following a kidney-friendly diet, managing health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension and not smoking may help your kidneys function better and longer, even when you have kidney disease.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) comes in stages and knowing your stage is important for deciding treatment. CKD has five stages, ranging from nearly normal kidney function (stage 1) to kidney failure (stage 5), which requires dialysis or kidney transplant.
Understanding your stage can help you learn how to take control and slow the progression of kidney disease. The stages of renal disease are not based on symptoms alone. Instead, they reflect how effectively the kidneys eliminate waste from the blood by using an equation that estimates kidney function, known as glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Determining your GFR requires a simple blood test.
Diabetes and high blood pressure are the top causes of kidney diseases. Another form of CKD is glomerulonephritis, a general term for many types of kidney inflammation. Genetic diseases (such as polycystic kidney disease, or PKD), autoimmune diseases, birth defects, acute kidney failure and other problems can also cause kidney disease. Take a 3-minute Kidney Disease Risk Quiz to see if you're at risk for renal disease (located in the DaVita Educational Tools section).

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff

No she's all scarred up and she steals sasukes dirty clothes to smell them, she's gross.
Madara, Madara, Obito, and, oh yeah, Madara. His arrogance is so over the top and is only broken through to show how butthurt he is over losing to Hashirama. Obito's whole I have no reason for living thing is quite annoying. Same with Sasuke but i liked him before he got MS.

I hate Kakashi and Minato fans that delude themselves into thinking that said characters are unbeatable because of Kamui/FTG.
Just makes the rest of their fanbase look bad..
-I guess that's right. Idk I just can't look at Minato like I used to anymore without thinking of his fans lol.
-Yea I'm with you on the Kakashi fans as well(even though I am one) I try to explain how Kakashi can beat others without Kamui but at the same time Kamui is his tech so... yea
starting to dislike kakashi, these chapters as of late have everyone believing he can kamui anyone's head off at a moments notice.

He became Jonin as a kid and uses sharingan as a Hatake better than majority of the Uchiha clan (1st with Obito having ms after Madara/Izuna)
I would rank Kakashi top 5 if he had as much chakra as Naruto or at least Obito. Kishi was "forced" to make him go out of chakra very fast. Otherwise he is way too op. (knows over 1000 jutsus + 4 nature manipulation--->similar to a Rinnegan user)
Im not a fanboy, just manga facts
This is why! So now, when manga says that only an Uchiha can be a true master, Kakashi can use it better.
Konoha Elders
Naruto: Very annoying and lame
Minato: Fanboys should be the key reason
Tsunade: Annoying
Karin: Do I even need to explain?
Edo Itachi: Kishi ruined him
Edo Nagato: Same as Edo Itachi
Killer B
Yamato: Boooooooooring
Naruto.. Kakuzu would have soloed him, Kakashi, Choji, Ino, and Yamato.
Kakashi Hatake Gaara Naruto Uzumaki Nine-tail Shikamaru Nara Minato Namikaze Neji Hyuga Hinata Hyuga Sand Siblings Jiraiya Sasuke Uchiha Kiba Inuzuka Yamato Sai Tsunade Shino Aburame Asuma Sarutobi Iruka Umino Kurenai Yuhi Guy Orochimaru Danzo Shimura Itachi
hate them all

talks about revenge and other BS but almost everytime he needs kishi to save him
with plot no jutsu
Lmfao! This bro, this! ^^

Tsunade, Kakashi and Naruto
Orochimaru- he is weird, has a pedo vibe and is boring as hell.
Naruto-he is annoying as hell and always talking about changing the world. And still is gay for Sauske.
Sauske-I liked him until after his fight with itachi, since then he grew a vagina and became an emotional wreck. And he's pointless now. He can't top madara and obito as being a villain, hell he can't too pain in my opinion. When madara and obito are beaten, the manga is over for me.
I dislike Koharu and Homura. I work in retail and they remind me of all the ****ing ninnies that come into the store that have to have everything precise and don't realize I work an hourly and don't have the patience for that shit.
Sakura too. Hasn't had any character development.
I don't care for fodder 677. Now HE'S a real *****.
My biggest annoyance on the Base is Itachi.

I dislike Sasuke because his character is simply awful. In the beginning he was great, but now hes just a b!tch. And I hate how fanboys are always on his d!ck saying he has the right to be. WELL HE DOESN'T! Sasuke is a loser who can't accept that the past is gone and he can't change it. He can't accept that his revenge is completely unfounded and the biggest mistake he ever made was leaving the village and his teammates that ACTUALLY cared about him. I think of how Naruto was treated like shit his whole life and has a positive attitude, and it makes Sasuke look even worse. He is just awful and I hope Naruto kills him because at this point he deserves it.
Sai- Needs the bottom half of his torso
Tenten- useless
Kiba- always talks shit
Those 2 old konoha elders - pricks
Tsunade- idk why
sakura, kabuto, orochimaru

I feel ya
and those two other elders...
1: Sasuke (used to be cool, but now he is just an overdramatic asshat)
2: Danzo (a*shole #1)
3: ino (..........)
4: Koharu (a*shole #2)
5: Homura (a*shole #3)

RICHMOND, Va. - Former Fox News contributor and northern Virginia businessman Pete Snyder is joining a crowded Republican field for next year's lieutenant governor race.
Snyder announced his candidacy on Monday. He stepped down from Fox News on Friday.
Snyder coordinated the unsuccessful Virginia Republican campaign to unseat President Barack Obama and defeat U.S. Sen.-elect Tim Kaine. Snyder founded social media marketing agency New Media Strategies and now runs capital investment company Disruptor Capital.
He joins several Republican candidates who already have announced their intentions to run, including Prince William County Del. Scott Lingamfelter, Chesterfield County Sen. Steve Martin, Prince William Supervisor Corey Stewart and former state Sen. Jeannemarie Devolites Davis.
Republicans will choose their nominee in a state party convention in May.
