Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
You should consult a nephrologist if you have persistent swelling, high blood pressure, blood in urine, kidney stones, frequent urinary infections, or reduced urine output.
Maintaining good hydration, a balanced diet, regular exercise, blood sugar & blood pressure control, and avoiding excessive painkillers can help prevent kidney disease.
Common symptoms include fatigue, swelling in the legs or face, frequent urination, shortness of breath, nausea, loss of appetite, and high blood pressure.
Dialysis removes waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys fail. It can be done through hemodialysis (using a machine) or peritoneal dialysis (using the abdomen’s lining).
