World Kidney Day Poem by Dr.Balnarayana Bandam

The human body is similar to a home at shield risk
And needs everyday cleaning around the clock
Of the food taken assimilated enters the bloodstream
Intestines do cleaning and clear
As faecal matter urge to come out
Lungs drive out useless materials as gases
Sweat outputting as salts from the skin after strain and exercise
Thus sweat on the body will have salinities after dried out
The urinary system is also an excreting system
Consisting of two kidneys bean-shaped fixed on the back
Just below the cage of the middle of the back
Retro peritoneal, from each kidney ureter, comes out
And passes into the urinary bladder, through which
Urethra comes out and through which one pass urine
Impure blood the kidney receive, remove urea
Waste products formed after digestion
Pure and filtered blood passes back to the heart
One who collects things that are discarded by others?
In the house is by scavengers to keep home tidy
Though kidney's work similar but magpies are internally fixed
So organ receives impure blood after filter sends back pure
In a day kidney purify one hundred -fifty liters of blood
Thirty times daily, of five liters blood content of the body
Each kidney possess about a million nephrons
Thou fixed but filter the blood and purify
And form urine of about liters two
Exclusive of organs is that they preserve valuable
Like abundant proteins and RBC, but aids in the discharge of
Water glucose, ionic salts, keeps levels of sodium, potassium
Thus keeping the body PH, concentration and ions at constant levels
Thus if kidneys function fails, the water and waste materials pileup
Not only blood cleaning but activates vitamin D and aids
In bony strength, forms erythropoietin assists in hemoglobin
Formation in RBC secretes RENIN when blood pressure falls
If the blood flow slowed and urine formation less
Hard masses collect we call them as stones
May be of calcium, sodium, phosphates, uric acid,
Calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, and magnesium ammonium phosphate
Kidney function tests are ACR (albumin creatinine ratio) , GFR(glomerular
Filtration rate)
Good hygiene, worthy diet immune system is of most worth
Keeping kidneys healthy, in turn, healthy body
For food 50 gms oatmeal, low protein diet, and to avoid
Salt and food rich in potassium, and phosphorus
Kidneys get damaged in diabetes (if uncontrolled)high blood pressure
And physical injury, Ideal food contain red bell paper ½ cups, cabbage ½ cup
Cauliflower, and garlic, onion, apple gram berries and blackberries
Kidney failure is a gradual loss of kidney function
Keep active, by exercises, control blood pressure, sugar, maintain weight
And healthy food,
Prefer kidney function test if required
For failure, the signs are less urine output, fluid retention,
Swelling of body and limbs, short breath
Now for kidney failure new method is dialysis for life long
Or of kidney transplantation for a worthy living
The human reins are in command of kidneys
With hearty blessings to all kidney patients on earth for early recovery
And
HEARTY WISHES FOR HEALTHY KIDNEY FOR EVERY ONE AND LONG LIFE
