What is Chronic Kidney Disease?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. CKD often progresses silently and, if left untreated, may lead to kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation.
Common Causes of CKD
- Diabetes Mellitus
- Long-standing Hypertension
- Glomerulonephritis
- Polycystic Kidney Disease
- Prolonged Use of Certain Medications
Symptoms of CKD
Early stages of CKD may not cause noticeable symptoms. As the disease progresses, patients may experience fatigue, swelling of the legs or face, reduced urine output, shortness of breath, nausea, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, and high blood pressure.
Our Treatment Approach
- Regular monitoring of kidney function and electrolytes
- Blood pressure and blood sugar control
- Medications to slow disease progression
- Dietary counseling and fluid management
- Preparation and guidance for dialysis or transplant when needed
When Is Treatment Required?
CKD treatment is essential as soon as reduced kidney function is detected, especially in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease, to slow progression and prevent complications.
