Ten Tips to Keep Your Heart Healthy
on Dialysis
ardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessel dis-
ease) is very common in people with chronic kidney
disease and is the leading cause of early death for these
patients. People with chronic kidney disease are more
likely to have a heart attack, stroke, or angina (chest
pain). If you have heart and blood vessel disease, it is im-
portant to follow your doctor’s advice about how to lower
your risk for heart disease. The following ten tips will also
help you to keep it from getting worse (cont. on pg. 5).
Newly Diagnosed with Kidney Disease?
Knowledge is Power!
Being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can
be a very trying and difficult time for everyone involved--
the patient, his family and friends. But information can go
a long way towards helping one gain control of the situa-
tion. A patient who knows what to expect, what to
watch out for and what treatment options are available
if his kidneys fail can make an educated decision about
his healthcare.
At first, your doctor should assess your kidney function to
determine a plan for your treatment. Tests are con-
ducted to determine the stage and type of kidney dis-
ease, the size of the kidneys and the damage already
done. After receiving these results, you and your doctor
will need to sit down and create a plan of action (cont.
on pg. 3).

Help Us Make Our Point
The National Kidney Foundation U.S.
Transplant Games were held in Pitts-
burgh July 11-16, 2008. This is the larg-
est gathering of transplant recipients,
donor families, and living donors com-
ing together to show that transplanta-
tion works and create awareness for
the need for more organ donation.
These Olympic style sporting events
give transplant recipients the opportu-
nity to compete in individual and
team sports. Team Kentucky traveled
to Pittsburgh with 31 athletes, 3 donor
families, and 3 living donors. If you fit
in any of these three categories, you
too can join Team Kentucky when
they travel to Madison, Wisconsin July
30-August 4th, 2010 for the next U.S.
Transplant Games.
The number of individuals waiting for
transplants will soon exceed 100.000.
Eighteen die each day waiting for a
life saving organ. Over 750 right here
in Kentucky are waiting. You can help
us make our point by joining the Na-
tional Kidney Foundation of Kentucky
in its efforts to create awareness of the
need for more organ donation.

Newly Diagnosed with Kidney Disease? (cont. from pg. 1)

The following tests may be done:

• Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which tells how much kidney function you have. You do
not need another test to estimate your GFR. Your doctor can calculate it from the results of
your blood creatinine test, your age, race, gender, and other factors. Your GFR helps your
doctor determine your stage of kidney disease. GFR is the best way to evaluate your kidney
function.

• An ultrasound or CT scan takes a picture of your kidneys and urinary tract. This will show
whether your kidneys are too large or too small, whether you have any blockages such as
kidney stones or tumors and whether there are any problems in the structure of your kidneys
and urinary tract.

• A kidney biopsy involves looking at small pieces of your kidney tissue under a microscope.
This is done in some cases to help identify a specific type of kidney disease, determine how
much damage has occurred, and plan treatment.

If you have chronic kidney disease, your treatment plan will depend on your stage of kidney disease
and other health problems you may have. Your treatment may include the following:

• Controlling other health problems: You may have other disorders, such as diabetes or high
blood pressure, which can damage your kidneys. If you have diabetes, you will need to
monitor your blood sugar, follow a specific diet and take your medication as ordered by
your doctor. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend you lose weight,
cut down on salt in your diet and take your medication. Your doctor may subscribe medi-
cations called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor block-
ers (ARBs) to help protect your kidney function.

• Preventing heart problems: People who have kidney disease may also have an increased
chance of developing heart problems. Controlling diabetes and high blood pressure is very
important to help prevent heart problems. In addition, anemia (low blood count) should be
treated because it can cause heart damage. To treat anemia, you may need to take a
hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) and iron supplements. If your cholesterol level is high,
your doctor may recommend changes in your diet, regular exercise and, possibly, special
medications to help lower cholesterol. Smoking makes heart and kidney disease worse and
if you are a smoker, you will need to quit.

• Treating complications of kidney disease: Kidney disease may cause complications, such as
anemia and bone disease. In addition to treating your anemia with EPO and iron supple-
ments, you may need to follow some guidelines to maintain healthy bones. This may include
limiting the amount of high phosphorus foods in your diet, taking a type of medication
called a phosphate binder with your meals and snacks, and taking a form of Vitamin D
(cont. on pg. 4).

 Newly Diagnosed with CKD? (cont. from pg. 3)

Once your kidney disease and other health problems are under control, it is vital to track your progress. Your
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) should be checked regularly to clarify the status of your kidney disease. Also,
the amount of protein in your urine will be checked from time to time to make sure your kidneys are doing
their job. Lastly, nutritional tests may be done to make sure you are getting enough protein and calories to
maintain your overall health. Your doctor can refer you to a registered dietitian who will help you plan your
meals to get the right foods in the right amounts.

The goal of your treatment is to slow or prevent your kidneys from becoming worse. Achieving this goal is de-
pendant upon your stage of kidney disease, how well you follow your treatment plan, and the cause of your
kidney disease. The earlier your kidney disease is detected, the better the chance of slowing or stopping its
progression.

You are a key member of the health care team. Learn all you can about chronic kidney disease and its treat-
ment and make sure to follow all the steps to your treatment faithfully. For more information on managing
chronic kidney disease, please contact the NKFK at 1-800-737-5433 and speak with your doctor. Information

Ten Tips to Keep Your Heart Healthy on Dialysis (cont. from pg. 1)

Tip One: Control Blood Sugar if You Have Diabetes

High blood sugar can cause damage to blood vessels in your body that supply oxygen
to the heart and brain, leading to heart disease or stroke. Fatty deposits that build up in
the blood vessels can break apart, causing blood clots and blockages in the vessels.

• Check your blood sugar level as often as your doctor prescribes.

• Follow your treatment plan of medications, diet, and exercise.

• Ask your doctor about which diabetes medications are best for you.

Tip Two: Control High Blood Pressure

Your kidneys help control high blood pressure, but once your kidneys are damaged they may not be able to
do that as well and can lead to heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes.

• Take your blood pressure medications as prescribed. ACE inhibitors and ARB’s are medications that
can help protect your kidneys. Ask your doctor about these if you do not take them now.

• Know your blood pressure reading before and after dialysis treatment. It should be less than 140/90
before treatment and less than 130/80 after it.

• Follow your fluid and sodium (salt) limits to prevent fluid buildup.

• Your diet should not include more than 2 grams of sodium or 5 grams of salt a day.

• Speak to your dietician once a month.

• Ask your dialysis care team if increasing ultrafiltration (fluid removal) during dialysis or longer or more
frequent dialysis treatments could help prevent fluid buildup.

Tip Three: Reduce High Cholesterol Levels

• Make sure you have an annual blood test for the following:

• Total Cholesterol (should be less than 200)

• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol (should be less than 100)

• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) “good” cholesterol (should be above 40)

• Triglycerides (should be below 150)

• If your levels are not in a healthy range, you should follow a low-fat diet, increase physical activity,
and ask your doctor about a medicine to help lower your cholesterol, if necessary (cont. pg. 6).

YOGA YOUR WAY TO GOOD HEALTH

Continuous activities such as walking, swimming, bicycling (indoors or out) are good
for cardiovascular health. Another way to stay in shape is by doing yoga. Yoga is a
low-impact form of exercise in which you tone your muscles with slow movements and
by holding various postures. Many people find it to be a very relaxing way to exercise.

Heart Health on Dialysis (cont. from pg. 5)

Tip Four: Follow a Heart-Healthy Diet

• Eat foods low in saturated fats and cholesterol. Each day, your diet
should have less than seven percent of total calories from saturated fat and
less than 200 milligrams of cholesterol. Check the amount of saturated fat
and cholesterol that are listed on the nutrition label of food products.

• Limit high-phosphorus foods like dairy, nuts, seeds, dried beans and peas
(see Heart Tip #7).

• Speak to your dietician about how to get the right amount of protein and calories to stay at
a healthy weight.

• Increase foods that are high in heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, flaxseeds,
soybeans, walnuts, and canola oil.

Tip 5: Increase Physical Activity

• Ask your doctor if you need physical therapy to improve your strength and endurance be-
fore increasing physical activity.

• Start exercising slowly and build gradually to about 30 minutes most days of the week.

• Exercise regularly to help improve unhealthy cholesterol levels, reduce excess weight, con-
trol blood sugar and blood pressure, and improve heart and lung fitness.

Tip 6: Treat Anemia

People with CKD often get anemia (a low blood cell count) because they do not have enough of
the hormone erythropoietin (EPO) to stimulate red blood cell production. Correcting anemia helps
prevent thickening of the muscle on the left side of the heart, which makes it harder for the heart to
pump blood. If you have anemia, you should receive an erythropoietin-stimulating agent (ESA) and
iron supplements.

• Your treatment goal is to reach a hemoglobin level of 11 or greater.

Tip 7: Keep Calcium and Phosphorus in Balance

People with CKD develop calcium and phosphorus imbalance, which can lead to bone and heart
disease.

• Keep these two important minerals in balance by

• Following a low-phosphorus diet

• Taking medicines called phosphate binders with your meals and snacks

• Taking an active form of Vitamin D if prescribed by your doctor

Heart Health on Dialysis (cont. from previous page)

Tip 8: Stop Smoking

Smoking increases your risk for heart and blood vessel disease. If you smoke, ask your doctor to refer
you to a program to help you quit.

Tip 9: Talk to Your Doctor About Taking Aspirin to Prevent Heart Attacks

• Your doctor may recommend a low-dose aspirin to help prevent heart attacks.

• Your doctor will need to make sure aspirin does not cause you to have bleeding problems.

Tip 10: Reduce Stress

Stressful feelings like sadness, anger, and worry may contribute to heart disease.

• Talk to your social worker about how you can learn to cope with stressful feelings when you
first start dialysis and at regular intervals after that.

• Psychological counseling and medications may also be recommended.

Walk the Kidney Walk Way!

One in 10 adults in Kentucky are living with kidney disease and most don’t even know it.
To raise public awareness of the importance of early detection, especially for those people considered at
risk, the NKFK is asking you to join in and help spread the word. And if that sounds like too great of a chal-
lenge, you might just think of it as a walk in the park. That’s because if you can walk, you can take part in
a unique community event - the 8th Annual Kidney Walk in Louisville on September 20, 2008 which fea-
tures a three mile route along Waterfront Park.
“The Kidney Walk will draw attention to the importance of early detection for those at risk, and also raise
funds to support programs for kidney patients and their families,” says Lisa Allgood, Executive Director.
Participants of all ages are invited to join in the fun by walking individually or by forming a team. Each
walker who raises $100 will receive an official Kidney Walk t-shirt.

The event will feature Louisville School of Rock bands What’s Up and Creatures of Leisure, children’s ac-
tivities, games. giveaways, and more!
For more information, sponsor forms, or to register, contact Laura Temple at 502-585-5433 or ltem-

Congress Passes Medicare Bill with Kidney Education Initiative

Recognizing that an educated patient ultimately has better healthcare outcomes, the National Kidney Foun-
dation (NKF) and Dialysis Patient Citizens (DPC) teamed up on May 22 to urge lawmakers to pass a bill that
would provide comprehensive treatment information to patients prior to the initiation of dialysis.

Forty kidney patients from around the U.S. met with their Members of Congress to discuss the inclusion of the
Kidney Care Quality and Education Act (S. 691) in the Medicare bill that was recently passed by Congress. In
particular, the patient advocates, representing NKF’s “People Like Us” patient empowerment initiative and
DPC, requested the establishment of a Medicare pre-dialysis education benefit.

Two dialysis patients from Louisville went to Washington to speak with local Congressmen about supporting
the Medicare legislation. Patient Advocate Crystal Gant and Andreas Price visited the offices of Kentucky
Congressmen and shared with them the importance of pre-dialysis education in preparing patients for treat-
ment. “When you’re used to living life a certain way, used to being able to come and go as you please, to
be not concerned about major health issues and then to be told that you’re facing dialysis three times a
week for several hours per treatment, it does shock you,” Andreas explains. “And our concern is that many of
the patients go into the treatment situation without knowing what their options are, not knowing what to ex-
pect, and with a certain level of fear and anxiety about what they are facing.”

The pre-dialysis education benefit includes a maximum of six sessions, reimbursed by Medicare, covering an
overview of kidney function, complications associated with declining kidney function, a comprehensive re-
view of treatment options, including discussion of vascular access alternatives for dialysis, the transplant wait-
ing list and the process of identifying living kidney donors.

The Medicare Legislation was passed on July 15, 2008 by the House of Representatives and Senate and was
supported by both Democrats and Republicans.
“Ultimately, we know this [legislation] will improve
patients’ lives while reducing costs of care," says
Tracy Fortson, NKF Managing Director of Constitu-
ent Services.
Kidney disease is a major health problem in the
United States and around the world. Nearly 75,000
Americans are on the waiting list for a lifesaving
kidney transplant and 341,000 rely on a dialysis
machine to keep them alive. Recent studies indi-
cate that the disease is on the rise and as many as
26 million Americans currently have chronic kidney
disease and millions more are at risk.
TAKE ACTION NOW!
Thanks to your letters of support to our Congressmen,
people facing treatment for kidney failure will now have the
knowledge to make an informed decision about their
health. Please take the time to thank our Representatives
for their support of this vital legislation by visiting the Take
Action website at www.kidney.org/takeaction.
And if you are not a member of the network, please sign

ney disease and organ donation.

NKFK Partners with Diabetes Program in Public Awareness Campaign

In partnership with the Diabetes Program of Louisville Metro

Public Health and Wellness and the Diabetes Prevention and
Control Program, the NKFK launched a diabetes and chronic
kidney disease public awareness campaign in Jefferson
County. The campaign warns the public of the risk diabetes
poses to kidney health and urges early detection and treat-
ment to delay the progression of kidney disease. Campaign
materials included bus shelters, magnets, and pizza box stickers
that urge the public to get tested for diabetes and kidney dis-
ease. Other awareness efforts included radio and print public
service announcements. This will be the second year the NKFK
has worked with the Diabetes Program on an awareness cam-
paign.

The project was funded by the Diabetes Prevention and Control

Program and the Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness.
NKFK graphic designer volunteer, Michael Feger, designed the campaign materials.
