FAQs

A Plethora of solutions to all your questions and dilemmas, melt away any confusion or doubts you may have

Hypertension and diabetes are the most typical causes of renal disease. These two diseases have the potential to harm every organ in the body. If not properly managed, either of these disorders can lead to renal failure and the need for dialysis. Lupus, HIV, and viral hepatitis are additional diseases that attack numerous organs, such as the kidney.
 

Symptoms may include blood or frothy urine, lethargy, high blood pressure, weight loss, ankle edoema due to fluid retention, anaemia, nausea, or vomiting. Kidney disease is frequently asymptomatic until its late stages and after serious damage has occurred.
 

Stop smoking, exercise, and keep a healthy weight. Consult your physician about methods to modify your diet. Other significant components of kidney therapy include careful adjustment of blood pressure in hypertensive patients and strict control of blood sugar in diabetic patients.
 

Urologists are surgeons who have specialised in the kidney, bladder, and prostate, while nephrologists are internists who treat patients using medications. Despite the fact that urologists employ medications to treat patients, they are specially educated to operate on the kidneys to correct various conditions.
 

Contrary to popular perception, there is no proof that consuming eight glasses of water is beneficial for the kidneys. Patients with recurring kidney stones are the only exception. In this demographic, drinking water is one of the most effective treatments for preventing kidney stone recurrence.
