FAQ

What are the early signs of kidney failure?
  • Swelling in the feet, ankles, and hands.
  • Changes in skin color.
  • Extreme fatigue and tiredness.
  • Loss of appetite and nausea.
  • Changes in urination.
What signs and symptoms warrant a visit to a nephrologist?

  • Recurrent kidney infections.
  • Glomerulonephritis.
  • Certain autoimmune diseases.
  • Vesicoureteral reflux.
  • Type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
What are the causes of kidney disease?

Among the most significant causes of kidney damage are high blood pressure and diabetes. High blood pressure damages the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to protein and blood leaking into the urine. Elevated blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their ability to filter waste from the blood. Ultimately, both conditions can adversely affect kidney function and may lead to kidney failure over time.

Do high blood pressure or diabetes affect kidney health?
  • Avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and using drugs.
  • Drinking at least 2 liters of water daily.
  • Getting annual kidney function tests.
  • Paying attention to protein intake.
  • Following a healthy diet.
  • Maintaining a healthy weight.
  • Avoiding excessive salt intake.
What steps can be taken to maintain kidney health?
  • Urine test: This test looks for indicators of kidney damage or the level of kidney function by checking the concentration of substances in the urine, such as protein and creatinine.
  • Blood test (creatinine, urea): Creatinine is a waste product produced from meat protein. The kidneys filter it completely from your blood. If there is an accumulation, it indicates kidney problems. Elevated urea levels also suggest impaired kidney function.
What tests are done to evaluate kidney function?

The treatment of kidney disease depends on the cause and stage of the disease. Treatment focuses on managing or reducing symptoms and addressing the underlying causes of kidney problems. Treatment may include medications to lower blood pressure and control blood sugar levels, as well as dietary changes and exercise. In advanced stages, treatment may progress to dialysis or kidney transplantation if other treatments fail.
