At Kannappa Hospital, we are committed to delivering comprehensive renal care with a focus on early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of kidney disease.
Early signs of kidney disease include fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles, changes in urination patterns, difficulty concentrating, muscle cramps, and persistent high blood pressure. If you experience any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a nephrologist for evaluation.
Preventing kidney disease involves managing risk factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, maintaining a healthy diet, staying hydrated, avoiding excessive salt intake, and not smoking. Regular check-ups and blood tests can also help detect kidney issues early.
Dialysis is a treatment that filters waste and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys can no longer perform this function adequately. It becomes necessary when a patient reaches end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or if acute kidney failure occurs. Hemodialysis is performed at a dialysis center, while peritoneal dialysis can sometimes be done at home.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) typically cannot be cured, but it can be managed to slow progression. Early detection and treatment are crucial in preserving kidney function. In advanced stages, treatments like dialysis or a kidney transplant may be necessary. Our team at Kannappa Hospital works to improve kidney health through comprehensive care.
