Kidney Failure It's Causes, Symptoms, & Management

Kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located in the lower abdomen. They play a vital role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood. When kidneys fail, these waste products and fluids can build up in the body, leading to serious health problems.

Causes of Kidney Failure

There are many different kidney failure causes, including:

  • Diabetes

  • High blood pressure

  • Autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and IgA nephropathy.

  • Genetic diseases, such as polycystic kidney disease.

  • Nephrotic syndrome

  • Obstructions in the urinary tract, such as kidney stones.

  • Injury to the kidneys

  • Certain medications

In order to get the finest treatment and to know more about it, visit the best nephrology hospital in Ghaziabad.

Symptoms of Kidney Failure

In the early stages of kidney failure, there may be few or no kidney failure symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, renal failure symptoms may include:

  • Fatigue

  • Weakness

  • Loss of appetite

  • Nausea and vomiting

  • Swelling in the feet and ankles.

  • Shortness of breath

  • High blood pressure

  • Blood in the urine

  • Decreased urination

If you experience symptoms of kidney failure, consult with a doctor immediately. Manipal Hospitals Ghaziabad has some of the best nephrologists in Delhi NCR. Follow your doctor's advice carefully. This includes taking your medications on time and in the prescribed dosage, and eating a healthy diet. 

  • Avoid smoking and drinking alcohol.

  • Monitor your blood pressure and blood sugar levels regularly.

  • Get regular exercise, but be sure to talk to your doctor about what type and amount of exercise is safe for you.

  • See your doctor for regular checkups and blood tests.

If you have any questions or concerns about kidney failure, always consult a certified doctor only. While herbal remedies may provide temporary relief, they can also worsen your condition. Speaking with a certified medical expert is the only right way to find the correct diagnosis and treatment plans for your condition. They can help you understand your condition and develop a treatment plan that is suitable for your health needs.

Management of Kidney Failure

There is no cure for kidney failure, but there are treatments that can help manage the condition and improve quality of life. Kidney Failure Management options may include:

  • Medications

Medications can be used to lower blood pressure, control blood sugar levels, and reduce inflammation.

  • Dialysis

Dialysis is a procedure that filters waste products and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to do so.

  • Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor is implanted into the patient's body.
