Four destinations to love in Spain

Drawing from Good Housekeeping magazine and adding our personal experiences we selected our preferred destinations in Spain. You can organize a road trip or visit them separately, in any case, book your holiday dialysis first and be ready for a majestic experience. Here we go: Seville: There are lots of lovely places to visit in Andalucia, but Seville is one of the most popular and with good reason. For a start, warm weather is all but guaranteed – the Spaniards don’t call it the ‘Frying Pan’ for nothing. The city’s old town and former Jewish quarter, Barrio de Santa Cruz, is home to the huge Gothic cathedral, the Alcázar Palace and the La Giralda bell tower. For a lively night out, visit one of Seville’s famous flamenco shows or a hole-in-the-wall bar. And if you’re hoping to stockpile ceramics, stop by the Tirana neighbourhood, which has lots of pottery studios.

Madrid: Often overlooked by tourists for Barcelona, Spain’s capital may not have beaches but it has plenty of landmarks, from its wide boulevards and pristine parks to its incredible culture. At the Prado Museum, visitors can admire works by Spanish masters including Velázquez and Goya. Another highlight is the Plaza Mayor, the city’s main square, which dates back to the 15th century. The grand Royal Palace is also worth a visit – in between tapas pit-stops, of course.

Barcelona: A cultural city with its own beach, Barcelona is a Spanish holiday destination that lets you combine a city and seaside break. High-brow highlights include the Picasso Museum, the art nouveau La Sagrada Familia and Gaudi’s other great Barcelona work, Park Güell. After winding your way through the Gothic Quarter’s narrow medieval lanes (and its restaurants and bars), you can put your feet up at the beach. Mallorca: It’s not hard to see why Mallorca is such a classic Spanish holiday destination for Brits. The island has it all, from a vibrant capital and gorgeous beach resorts to the spectacular Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, lively port towns such as Sóller and inland villages favoured by artists such as Deià. Palma has a charming old town, an imposing Gothic cathedral and lots of excellent restaurants. From there, you can catch an old-fashioned tram all the way to Sóller for lunch at one of the restaurants lining the harbour.

Some of the most common causes of CKD

Kidneys perform crucial functions affecting every part of our organism. Their primary role is the excretion of metabolic end-products, such as urea and uric acid, toxins, and excess fluid, in order to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals and fluids. These bean-shaped organs function normally by filtering about 30% of plasma flow, generating approximately 150 litres of ultra-filtrate, which constitutes almost three times the total body water of a 70 kg weighing person. That’s why kidneys are the so-called filters of the human body. When kidneys fail to perform their normal activity, patients run the risk of chronic kidney disease which is a major health concern, especially for patients with diabetes and hypertension. Kidney disease is defined as the presence of kidney damage for a period greater than 3 months with a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR < 60 mL/min/ for a body surface area of 1,73 m2). Clinical studies show that 10% of the general population have or are at an increased risk of CKD. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) has estimated in 2019 that: 15% of US adults (37 million people) have chronic kidney disease 9 in 10 adults who are affected do not know they have the condition 1 in 2 people with very low kidney function who are not on dialysis don’t know their kidneys are failing In order to help develop an intervention plan, the National Kidney Foundation KDOQI has created guidelines, classifying CKD in stages and providing evidence-based information for the evaluation and management of each stage.
