Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impairs the kidneys' ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood, leading to a buildup of toxins and electrolyte imbalances. As the disease progresses, it can affect other organs, such as the heart and bones, by increasing blood pressure, causing cardiovascular disease, and disrupting calcium and phosphate balance. Additionally, CKD can lead to anemia due to decreased erythropoietin production, further impacting overall health. Ultimately, CKD's systemic effects can significantly compromise organ function and overall well-being.

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.
Patients with chronic renal disease who need a transplant and do not have a living donor registered with United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to be placed on a waiting list for a cadaver kidney transplant.
The liver.
Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the study and treatment of the kidneys. It involves understanding kidney function, diseases, and disorders, as well as managing conditions like chronic kidney disease, hypertension, and electrolyte imbalances. Nephrologists often work with patients undergoing dialysis or considering kidney transplants.
