FAQs

Q: What are the early signs of kidney disease?
Early warning signs often include persistent fatigue, swelling in the ankles or feet (edema), and changes in urinary frequency or appearance, such as foaminess. Many patients also experience decreased appetite, muscle cramping, or unexplained puffiness around the eyes.
Q: What is the difference between acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
Acute kidney injury is a sudden, often reversible episode of kidney failure that happens within hours or days, usually due to trauma or severe infection. Chronic kidney disease is a slow, progressive loss of function over months or years, which is typically irreversible and managed to prevent further decline.
Q: What are the stages of CKD and at which stage is dialysis or transplant typically recommended?
CKD is categorized into five stages based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), ranging from Stage 1 (normal) to Stage 5 (kidney failure). Dialysis or a kidney transplant is typically recommended when a patient reaches Stage 5, often called End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
Q: What is the evaluation process for a kidney transplant?
The process begins with extensive medical compatibility testing (blood typing and tissue matching) for both the donor and the recipient. It also includes a series of cardiac, psychological, and radiological evaluations to ensure the patient is physically fit for the surgical procedure and long-term recovery.
Q: How does diabetes and hypertension accelerate kidney damage?
Diabetes causes high blood sugar that damages the delicate filtering units (nephrons) over time, while hypertension puts excessive pressure on the small blood vessels in the kidneys. Both conditions scar the kidney tissue, significantly reducing its ability to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood.
