00:00Today is World Kidney Day.
00:02Experts are reminding us that
00:04taking care of our kidneys is important.
00:07According to the data,
00:08the number of minors with chronic kidney disease is increasing.
00:12Here's Oscar Oida.
00:18Get well.
00:19I want to get well.
00:20She said that.
00:21This is the long-cherished wish of 8-year-old Aleng
00:25who has been under dialysis for a year
00:28at the National Kidney and Transplant Institute in Quezon City.
00:32Her kidney was hit
00:34by IgA vasculitis,
00:37an autoimmune disease
00:39or the immune system itself
00:41that attacks the patient's own body.
00:44She needs a kidney transplant.
00:47But...
00:48She needs to control her autoimmune first
00:51because her autoimmune is more active.
00:56So...
00:57It's not yet...
00:58It's not yet...
00:59For a transplant,
01:00it should be stable.
01:02But...
01:03All of her...
01:04It's not yet stable.
01:06The NKTI warns
01:08that many youths are experiencing
01:11chronic kidney disease.
01:13Of the more than 6,000
01:15who are diagnosed with chronic kidney disease per year in the country,
01:181,900 are under the age of 19.
01:22Actually, we already have
01:245,000 pediatric patients
01:28who are under dialysis now.
01:30Some of us are under dialysis
01:32who are 2 years old.
01:36But there,
01:37just like those who have heart disease
01:40and are under surgery.
01:41This has a big impact on a child's lifestyle,
01:45food,
01:46especially if they are fond of junk food
01:49and salty food.
01:51Others have a history of kidney failure
01:55or lack of exercise.
01:57Because now,
01:58young people are fond of gadgets.
02:01They just sit down.
02:03Most of them are fat.
02:05They are obese.
02:07On World Kidney Day,
02:09NKTI doctors visited schools
02:13to remind them about taking care of our kidneys.
02:18They include the mascot of the school,
02:21the kidney.
02:22Most of the signs of kidney disease
02:26are fever,
02:27high blood pressure even at a young age,
02:30being underweight or overweight,
02:33having blood or colorectal disease,
02:35and limited infection or UTI.
02:39To take care of our kidneys,
02:41eat high-end fiber foods
02:44like vegetables and fruits,
02:46drink plenty of water,
02:48and exercise.
02:50For GMA Integrated News,
02:52I'm Oscar Woyd.
02:54Saksi!
