Vivoo Kidney BOX
Vivoo’s Kidney Box is one of the main parameters. It helps to keep track of the kidneys and shows the state of kidney function based on proteins in the urine.
Importance of Kidneys
Our kidneys play essential roles to make our body function properly, including:
- Removing wastes from the body
- Filtering the blood plasma
- Releasing hormones to control blood pressure
- Stimulating red blood cell production
- Activating vitamin D to maintain bone health.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Kidney disease may occur if the kidneys damaged and can’t filter the blood the way they should. There are usually no symptoms in its early stages. Furthermore, it can become chronic if the damage is not treated for a long period of time.
CKD is a major health problem that affects approximately 13 percent of the United States population. Today, one in three American adults are at risk for kidney disease. Around 30 million American adults have kidney disease, and most of them don’t even know it yet.
Risk Factors of CKD
CKD can be caused by:
- Hypertension
- Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Environmental poisons
Some factors increase the risk of developing CKD, such as:
- Inactivity
- Family history
- Aging
- Inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption
Since early kidney disease usually doesn’t have any symptoms, people who have these risk factors should get tested.
Detection of CKD
CDK can be diagnosed via blood and urine tests. A blood test checks how well your kidneys are filtering your blood by looking at the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) while a urine test checks the urine protein (proteinuria), which is one of the first signs of kidney disease.
How Does Vivoo Measure and Track the Kidney Function
Urine is a key health indicator for many diseases, including CKD. Healthy kidneys usually do not allow the
protein to pass through their filters. However, protein leaks from the blood into the urine, if filters are damaged by kidney disease.
Vivoo’s kidney parameter measures the level of protein in the urine. In addition, small fluctuations of protein levels in the urine are not a cause for concern since they may be temporary due to exercise, stress, or fever. But a high amount of urine protein (or proteinuria), especially in the long term, may indicate that there is a kidney problem.
Above all, Vivoo lets you track kidney function weekly, see any risk or reduction in optimal kidney function, and give nutritional advice accordingly.

Very valuable information, it is not at all blogs that we find this, congratulations. I was looking for something like that and found it here.
Like!! Really appreciate you sharing this blog post.Really thank you! Keep writing.
It sounds good for tracking the kidney via Vivoo urine sticks!
Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual effort to make a really good article…
Is 8 something to be worried about?
Hi Steven, thank you for your question. If you get 8 as a score for kidney functions, it means that your kidney score is moderate. You can increase your kidney parameter score by following Vivoo’s advice. We’re so glad to be part of your wellness journey!
Any suggestions as to how one can increase kidney function? Are there any foods to eat or avoid?
Hi Sanaz, thank you for your interest in Vivoo. It is good to ensure adequate daily fluid intake to protect kidney health in the long term, not consume excessive salt, and avoid packaged foods. At the same time, antioxidant-rich vegetables and fruits, quality protein sources, and whole grains support kidney health.
