Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment

Chronic Kidney Disease, also known as CKD, involves a gradual loss of kidney function and eventually leads to Kidney failure. Chronic kidney disease treatment will focus on slowing the progression of kidney damage by controlling the cause. In severe cases, a kidney transplant might be needed.

      What are the symptoms of chronic kidney disease?

The kidney performs some of the critical functions in the body like filtering the waste, BP control, RBC production, bone, and mineral metabolism, management of acidosis, and more.

When the kidney is affected, all these functions are affected, producing symptoms. People having stage 1 and 2 chronic kidney disease would not experience any symptoms. After stage 3 there might be symptoms starting to occur. Here are some of the symptoms involved with Chronic kidney disease.

·         Anemia

·         High blood pressure that is hard to control

·         Bone weakness

·         Reduction in urine

·         Inflammation in legs and arms

Chronic Kidney disease treatment is available, and if the patient is in stage 3 or less, they are monitored so that the disease does not progress. But people who usually come to the nephrologist only do so when the condition is at stage 4 or 5. Thus, if you notice any of the symptoms mentioned above or suspect a kidney problem, it is best to consult with a specialist immediately.

Understanding Fatty Liver Disease

Dr. K. Elan Kumaran, Head, Liver Diseases and Transplantation at Kauvery Hospital, shares valuable insights regarding the fatty liver disease. The doctor worries that most people who come in today for a regular health check-up show signs of a fatty liver. If not reversed, it could worsen, and liver failure treatment may be needed.

What is fatty liver?

Fatty liver disease occurs due to the accumulation of triglycerides and other fats in the liver cells. Our liver should optimally contain 1-4% fat. If your liver contains between 5-15% fat, you have a fatty liver.

There are two kinds of fatty liver disease:-

•  Alcoholic fatty liver disease

•  Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

Alcoholic fatty liver disease

Also known as alcoholic hepatitis, it occurs due to fat build-up and inflammation in the liver due to excessive alcohol consumption.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

This covers liver conditions that occur in people who drink little to no alcohol. Risk factors include:-

•         High cholesterol

•         Obesity

•         High blood pressure

•         Insulin resistance

•         Type 2 diabetes
