Is chronic kidney disease CKD a serious health hazard in India?
Yes. In a recent study, it was found that around 10% of our population is affected by some form of kidney ailments. Chronic Kidney Disease can be detected early by measuring blood pressure and simple blood and urine tests, and ultrasonography. When detected early and adequately treated, kidney failure can be prevented. None of these tests are very expensive. By preventing kidney disease, heart disease can also be prevented in many cases. 50% of all diabetic patients, if not adequately treated, run the risk of ending up with chronic kidney disease. Kidney is the only organ in the body which can be replaced by mechanical means, i.e. dialysis, and transplantation. Kidney transplantation is within the reach of middle class people of our country.
