Kidney Disease and Dialysis

Kidneys are crucial organs that keep our body healthy in a number of ways, from filtering blood to releasing important hormones into the blood. As kidneys fail, waste builds up. If kidneys stop working properly, the body accumulates extra water and waste products. This condition is called kidney failure. Schedule a checkup at the best kidney care hospital in India.

Kidney damage usually happens over time. Since the symptoms emerge gradually and not specifically related to the disease. Some people might show no symptoms at all and often diagnosed with blood tests.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Chronic kidney disease can occur over a period of months or years – often diagnosed at the end stages. If CKD disease gradually progresses to kidney failure, the only options for the survival of patient remains are - dialysis treatments or a kidney transplant.

Since kidney diseases are often slow in progression, you have to keep an eye on any alarming sign in your body that indicate kidney disease. Specifically, when you are suffering from diabetes or high blood pressure. You need to have regular check-ups to identify the problem.
