FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Kidney Transplant
An individual needs a kidney transplant if they have one of the following conditions:
- People whose kidney have stopped functioning completely.
- When both the kidneys are compromised.
- Several underlying diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, cystic kidney etc.
- Glomerulonecrosis, glomerulonephritis etc, may lead to chronic kidney failure.
After a kidney transplant, recovery typically takes 1-2 months. Additionally, the
patient's immune system plays a role.
Some transplants can last longer, but the average lifespan of a transplanted kidney is
around 12-15 years. At times, patient may need multiple transplants throughout their lifetime.
Diabetic Kidney Disease
If you have diabetes, the following are known to increase the risk of diabetic
nephropathy like:
- Hyperglycemia or uncontrolled high blood sugar.
- Hypertension or uncontrolled high blood pressure.
- Smoking.
- Being obese.
- High blood cholesterol.
- A history of diabetes or kidney disease in the family.
To decrease the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy, you can:
- Treat your diabetes.
- Manage your diabetes by taking regular follow-ups.
- Quit smoking.
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
- Take care of high blood pressure or other medical conditions.
Renal failure can be prevented in a patient with diabetic renal disease if the
aforementioned precautions are taken together with the appropriate medical care.
Unfortunately, diabetes-related kidney damage often results in end-stage renal failure.
Diabetes-related kidney damage might deteriorate over time. To prevent or delay kidney
failure, you can take measures to maintain the health of your kidneys and help decrease renal
damage. However, kidney failure does not occur in the majority of diabetics with renal
disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease
End-stage renal disease or kidney failure are other terms for end-stage kidney disease. It
happens when the progressive loss of kidney function reaches an advanced stage. The
kidneys can no longer operate as they normally should to meet the demands of the body if
they have end-stage renal disease.
The kidney specialists perform the following function:
- Establishes the reason for the kidney disorder.
- Discusses options to keep the health intact.
- Reduce the danger of advancement of kidney disease.
- Takes a decision on specialized treatment options, whenever necessary.
Yes, the early stages of renal disease might also present other health risks. Having
chronic kidney disease significantly increases your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Both the cause and the effect of CKD can be linked to hypertension. It can harm the kidney's
many small blood vessels. The kidney won't be able to regulate blood pressure properly as a
result.
Anemia, gout, infections, and issues with the bones are a few other health risks associated
with kidney disease.
ESKD, an end stage kidney disease, affects 150–230 persons per million people. The
majority of people are unaware of their CKD.
The individuals suffering from the conditions listed below are at greater risk of CKD:
- Diabetes.
- High blood pressure.
- Heart problems or a history of stroke.
- Genetic case of kidney failure.
- Obesity.
- Smoking.
- Are 60 years of age or older.
- Past record of acute kidney injury.
A congenital defect in the urinary tract or glomerulonephritis, a condition in which the body's
immune system attacks the kidney tissue, polycystic kidney disease, reflux nephropathy, or
genetic kidney disorders are other possible causes of CKD.
