kidney diseases
Kidneys are one of the most important organs of our body. A few things are known about kidney diseases. Community awareness of heart attacks is increasing day by day. So why is 'Kidney Attack' so rare? To raise awareness about kidney diseases 'World Kidney Day' is celebrated on the second Thursday in March of every year.
If we go in front of a public toilet by the road, a bad smell that comes out from it causes nasal congestion. In the eyes too, through the air that bad smell goes and water comes out. causes vomiting to some people due to this. The mind also hates this smell. That is why, it affects the respiratory system, digestive system, and the mind at the same time.
If the urine that is exposed to the air has such an effect on us, then how can a kidney that excretes urine from your body can tolerate it?
Who is more likely to have kidney disease?
Patients with high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, chronic liver
disease, urinary tract infections, arthritis are more likely to get kidney
diseases. Therefore, these patients need to be aware of their kidney function.
Kidney
problems are more likely to occur to:
- Individuals
who has blood pressure and diabetes?
- A person who has a kidney stone problem.
- A person who is taking a pain killer for a long time.
- Individuals
who frequently have urinary infections.
Symptoms
of kidney disease:
- Swelling
on the side of the eyes after waking up in the morning.
- Swelling
of face and feet.
- Loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea.
- Frequent or special night urination.
- High
B.P at an early age.
- Feeling tired.
- Loss of nutrients from the blood.
- Feeling exhausted as you walk.
- Irritation of the urine, followed by blood.
- Having trouble while urinating.
- Abdominal
cramps, legs, and waist pain
- Dizziness,
epilepsy, low visibility, chest cramps.
- To wet
the bed after the sixth year
Major
causes of kidney failure:
High
blood pressure
If blood pressure is high for a long time, this high blood
pressure can cause kidney failure. Often for high BP, patients take medications
for years without asking or going to the doctor. When there is no problem, the same drug is continued for many days without consulting a doctor. Some patients
discontinue medicines when there is no problem.
Diabetes
Uncontrolled diabetes causes sugar to pass through urine slowly
causing the protein to pass through the urine.
Symptoms of kidney damage due to
diabetes:
- In the
beginning, there are no symptoms
- Later,
proteins begin to pass in urine tests.
- BP
slowly begins to increase.
- Swelling
of hands and feet
- The amount of medicines or insulin required for diabetes decreases gradually.
- The
sugar in the blood decreases frequently.
- The
amount of drug that earlier could not control diabetes can now control
diabetes better.
- In many
patients, diabetes begins to be controlled without the use of diabetes medications as the kidneys worsen. Many patients complain that diabetes is gone. But in reality, this can be a serious sign of kidney failure.
How can you stop the effects of
diabetes on the kidneys?
- Have a regular checkup from a good doctor.
- By
controlling diabetes and high blood pressure.
- Proper
inspection for immediate diagnosis.
- Other
tips: Exercise regularly; avoid tobacco, cigarettes, and no alcohol.
Kidney
stone
![]() |
Kidney Stone |
In many patients, the kidney stone is round, oval, and smooth.
Often there are no symptoms of such stones. This can cause a urinary tract
obstruction. So that the urine produced in the kidneys cannot pass through the
urinary tract and it can cause the kidneys to swell and become damaged.
The reason why kidney stones are
formed:
- The habit of drinking less water.
- Sometimes,
the possibility of kidney stones due to genetics.
- Urinary
tract infection / urinary tract obstruction
- Excessive
intake of drugs containing vitamin C or calcium.
- Lying
in bed for a long time.
- Being
suffering from hyperparathyroidism.
- Due to
overheating of the body (Stone Belt).
- Urinary
Tract Infection
- Nephrotic
Syndrome
- Genetic
diseases
- Polycystic
kidney disease.
- Frequent
kidney and urinary tract infections in children.
- Urinary
tract defects in children from birth.
Some
answers to questions about kidney diseases?
How to be aware of kidney diseases?
It is advisable to take blood and urine tests at regular intervals
to see if your kidney is functioning properly. Often, patients go for an
ultrasound examination test (sonography) for kidney examination. But ultrasound
examination shows the kidney's structure, not its function. Although the kidney
appears to be in good shape in ultrasound, its function may have been impaired.
Therefore, blood and urine tests are an easy way to check for kidney function.
Now, 40-50-year-olds are increasing their awareness about blood sugar, blood
pressure, cholesterol, for a certain period of time. At the same time, blood
tests can detect the levels of urea and actin. In addition, a routine urine
test will reveal information about the protein in the urine.
How do doctors decide when to perform dialysis on kidney diseases?
Dialysis can be decided if the levels of urea, actin, potassium,
etc., in the body are 'biochemical parameters'. In these, the level of actin is
a key issue. The level of the component rises above a certain level and it is
not as the dialysis decision was made immediately. Because the level of these
components required for the functioning of the body varies with age. Therefore,
the function of the body is checked beyond the level of the component.
In addition, the patient is asked for other symptoms. Kidney
disease suggests loss of weight, loss of appetite, and need for dialysis for
the patient. Dialysis may be required if a patient is found to have a swollen
heart, or if there is water in his lungs, upon examination. Symptoms of lung
water are symptoms of the patient not being able to lie down, asthma after
lying down, and feeling good after getting up. Considering all such factors
together, it is up to the patient to decide whether to give dialysis treatment.
Once dialysis is done, do I have to do it forever?
Patients have the fear that once dialysis is cured they will have
to be taken forever. But this is not true of every single patient. Kidney
disease is noted late in some patients. It is decided to put some of these on
dialysis for a certain period of time. This is 'short term dialysis'. The
doctor may also consider discontinuing dialysis if the kidney function improves
as expected. In short, even if a patient is asked to undergo dialysis for a
short period of time, one should not panic immediately. It should be noted that
dialysis is meant to improve kidney function. However, the quality of dialysis
is an important issue. These treatments must be of good quality.
What other things should people with kidney disease be aware of?
Not everyone with kidney disease has to undergo dialysis and,
eventually, a kidney transplant. But if the kidney disease is high, the patient
is at increased risk of heart disease. Therefore, these patients should be
aware that they do not cause a heart attack.
Could it be that one kidney is good and one kidney has failed?
Kidney infections, kidney stones, or kidney tumors can cause the
same kidney disease. At this point, the second kidney may also be healthy. But
when we think of 'kidney failure', a kidney is not exactly healthy and a
'fail'. Kidney failure is related to both kidneys at the same time.
Could it be that there is not one kidney from birth?
About one in five thousand people can have a single kidney in
their bodies. But there is no reason to panic. Even on a single kidney, that
person can live a normal life.
Is there any risk to the donor,
i.e., the donor after the kidney transplant?

Kidney transplant |
Kidney donation does not have any effect on the health of the
person giving the kidney. He may be asked to take tonics a month after the
surgery. Then they do not have to take different medicines. He is also able to
live his normal life as usual.
Hemoperfusion technique
A person’s kidneys may stop working as a result of which a kidney fails, waste products start accumulating in the blood. Such persons cannot
survive unless their blood is filtered periodically through an artificial
kidney. This process is called dialysis.
In this treatment method, blood is drawn from the patient's body
with the help of a dialysis machine. The patient's blood is then filtered and
the purified blood is sent back to the patient's body. This treatment method is
completely safe and modern. In this treatment method, cartridges HA130, HA230
are used. The HA 230 filter is a boon for poisoned patients. This filter is
useful in curing poisonings such as serpentine, pesticides, metal poisoning,
rat poisoning, unknown poison and overuse of painkillers which are not a
preventive drug, and filtering the blood of such patients reduces the risk of
life and disease helps to reduce the duration of treatment in the ICU. HA330 is
a filter used in jaundice caused by liver failure. It can be reduced by
filtering the blood 1 to 2 times.
Illness
at an early age.......
There is no rule for what age an illness will occur. At present,
illnesses occur in all people, including the elders and youngsters.
Life-threatening illnesses were formerly known as infectious diseases. However,
nowadays, the spread of kidney disease, BP problems, heart attacks, loss of
vision, etc. is increasing rapidly. However, it is not given timely attention.
Physical illness also worsens mental health. As a result, while dealing with
physical pain, symptoms of depression, irritability are beginning to be felt.
The most common cause of illness in young children is because of depression.
Increased competition leads to mental fatigue, stress, run-of-the-mill life,
neglect of exercise, increasing adolescent addiction, when symptoms of
first-line illness are mild. As well as the incomplete dose of prescription
drugs, regular fast food intake, etc., the number of children getting addicted
to the disease is increasing. For that, our lifestyle is totally the cause of
it.
What you can't count
on a city scan or X-ray in a lab is stress........!
!!So please avoid stress!!
