Kidney is a very important part of our human body. A healthy person has two kidneys that are always functioning. In simple terms, kidney disease basically refers to the condition of reduced or impaired kidney function. Kidneys remove waste and excess water from our body, maintain electrolyte balance and help regulate blood pressure. Kidney disease disrupts these functions which can be dangerous for the body.

Types of kidney disease :

  • Usually occurs suddenly

  • May be due to dehydration, infection or drug reaction

  • Recovery is possible with timely treatment

  • Kidneys are gradually damaged over a long period of time

  • High blood pressure and diabetes are the main causes

  • End-stage kidneys may require dialysis or transplantation.

Main reason :

01Diabetes
02high blood pressure
03Urinary tract infection or obstruction
04Hereditary problems
05Regular use of painkillers
Have you or someone you know ever experienced kidney-related issues?

Yes, a close friend of mine is Shant. He was very cheerful and energetic. He was the life of our group. But a few years ago, his health suddenly started to deteriorate. At first I didn't pay much attention, I thought it might be a general weakness. But slowly his body began to change, his face became pale, his hands and feet became swollen, he always felt tired.

After seeing the doctor, it was found that he has chronic kidney disease and then the condition is very bad. Due to diabetes and uncontrolled lifestyle, his kidneys were slowly failing. Doctors said regular dialysis should be done, otherwise life cannot be saved.

At first he continued treatment, but the hardships of dialysis, the cost of drugs and the stress all together, he eventually began to break down. Eventually, his condition worsened to the point where he was often hospitalized. He was rushed to the hospital one night when he suddenly started having trouble breathing but unfortunately there was nothing more the doctors could do. He left us that day means he died.

How can we prevent and manage kidney disease?

Drink moderate amount of water :- Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily. Drinking too much water can also cause problems especially for kidney patients.

Eat healthy food :- Eat low salt and low fat food. Avoid highly processed foods. Eat foods rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein.

Control blood pressure and diabetes :- High blood pressure and diabetes are one of the main causes of kidney disease. Check blood pressure and sugar level regularly. Take the medicine as advised by the doctor.

Avoid smoking and alcohol :- These damage the blood vessels of the kidneys and increase the risk of kidney damage.

Exercise regularly :- Walk or do light exercise for at least 30 minutes every day. It will keep the weight under control and keep the kidneys healthy.

Take less painkillers :- Regular and over-the-counter painkillers. Can damage the kidneys. Do not take these medicines without doctor's advice.

Kidney is an important organ of our body which requires a conscious lifestyle to keep it healthy. A proper diet, drinking enough water, regular exercise and health checks help prevent kidney disease. Keeping high blood pressure and diabetes under control will keep the kidneys healthy for a long time. It is important to follow the doctor's advice for those who have kidney disease. Awareness and regular care can reduce the risk of kidney disease and ensure a healthy life.
