Are kidney diseases related to dehydration?
Most kidney diseases are related to dehydration. Most people, including doctors, do not drink enough water throughout the day. This puts them in a state of constant mild dehydration. Such a state can predispose a person to conditions such as high blood pressure and high blood sugar, conditions that stress the kidneys. In the short term, such stress damages the kidneys; in the long run, they give up due to kidney failure. This may be prevented by good dietary practices, avoiding drugs, smoking, excessive drinking, management of sugar levels in your blood, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
What else can I do to stop itching from diabetes?
The most important thing to do to relieve the itch from diabetes is to ensure decent blood sugar levels and care for it continuously through dietary adjustments, medications, and physical exercise. You also want to avoid hot showers and wear loose, breathable clothes while always being hydrated. Doing all these will help alleviate itching, if itching and other symptoms still persist, consult your doctor immediately.
Why am I getting static on my stethoscope?
First, make sure that the diaphragm and the bells of your stethoscope are clean, a dirty stethoscope with pieces of debris will cause interference while listening. Never put your stethoscope over your clothes because the fabric will also muffle the sounds. Also, make sure to keep the stethoscope tubing untangled and not touching your clothes to avoid static and other noises.
