Kidney Health Awareness & Dialysis Care
PROMOTING KIDNEY WELLNESS – DR. SHASHIDHAR SHREE NIWAS | GURGAON
Understanding Kidney Health
The kidneys are vital organs that perform critical functions in the human body. They help filter out waste products and excess fluids from the blood, which are then excreted in urine. Additionally, kidneys regulate blood pressure, control the production of red blood cells, and maintain the body’s electrolyte balance. Healthy kidneys are essential for overall wellness, and any disruption in their functioning can lead to serious health issues.
Types of Kidney Diseases
Kidney diseases can be acute or chronic. Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) occurs suddenly and may be reversible with proper treatment, whereas Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progresses slowly and can lead to kidney failure. Other common kidney-related conditions include kidney stones, Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD), and recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Early detection and treatment are crucial to preventing complications.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic Kidney Disease is a condition where the kidneys lose function over time. It’s often caused by diabetes or high blood pressure. CKD progresses through five stages, with the fifth stage indicating kidney failure that may require dialysis or a kidney transplant. Symptoms may not appear in the early stages, making routine checkups and urine tests important for early detection.
Causes and Risk Factors
Common causes of kidney disease include poorly controlled diabetes, high blood pressure, frequent kidney infections, and the prolonged use of medications such as painkillers or certain antibiotics. Genetic predisposition and autoimmune diseases can also contribute to declining kidney function. Lifestyle factors like poor diet, smoking, and lack of physical activity further increase the risk.
The Role of Dialysis
Dialysis is a medical procedure that replicates the filtering function of healthy kidneys when they can no longer do so naturally. It helps remove waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. Dialysis is typically required when kidney function drops below 10–15%. It can be a temporary or longterm treatment depending on the patient’s condition.
