KIDNEY DISEASE

Kidney disorders affect the body’s ability to filter waste, leading to fatigue, swelling, and health complications. Early detection and Ayurvedic care can support kidney function and improve overall wellness naturally

Kidney Failure: A Silent but Serious Health Condition

Kidney disease is a serious health condition where the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. It can be either acute (sudden) or chronic (slow and long-term). Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is more common and often caused by:-
Diabetes
High blood pressure
Genetic factors

Early stages may not show symptoms like :-
Fatigue
Swelling
Changes in urination
Nausea

If left untreated, kidney disease can lead to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or a transplant. Regular health check-ups, especially for people with risk factors, are key to early detection. Managing blood sugar, blood pressure, staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding unnecessary medications can help protect kidney health.

Symptoms of Kidney Failure

Symptoms can vary depending on the severity and whether it’s acute (sudden) or chronic (develops over time)

> Fatigue and weakness > Foamy or bubbly urine

> Nausea or vomiting > Dry and itchy skin

> Loss of appetite > High Blood Pressure

> Shortness of breath > Metallic taste in the mouth

TYPES OF KIDNEY FAILURE

Kidney disease affects the organs' ability to filter waste, balance fluids, and regulate blood pressure. It can develop gradually or suddenly, with causes including diabetes, hypertension, and infections. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent kidney failure

Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function over time, often caused by diabetes or hypertension, leading to waste buildup, fluid imbalance, and potential kidney failure if untreated.

Acute Kidney Disease

Acute Kidney Disease (AKD) refers to a sudden decline in kidney function, occurring over days to weeks. It may follow acute kidney injury and can progress to chronic kidney disease if untreated.

Glomerular Diseases

Glomerular diseases affect the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli), causing blood or protein in urine, swelling, and reduced kidney function. Common types include glomerulonephritis, FSGS, and IgA nephropathy.

Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic Nephropathy is kidney damage caused by long-term diabetes, leading to protein in urine, high blood pressure, and gradual kidney failure. It’s a major cause of chronic kidney disease worldwide.
