Kidney treatment is an assortment of medical techniques whose main purpose is to control kidney ailments, maintain the functionality of kidneys, and promote general kidney health.

PREVENTION & HEALTH MAINTENANCE

Diagnostic Methods

  • Serum Creatinine & Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): These indicate how well kidneys on their own are functioning.
  • Electrolyte Levels: Checking for imbalances due to kidney dysfunction;
  • Urine Dipstick Test: Screening for protein, blood or glucose in urine.
  • Microscopic Analysis: Detecting cells, crystals or casts in the urine.
  • Ultrasound: It visualizes the kidney and detects problems such as kidney stones or cysts.
  • CT Scan & MRI: These are used to get the best images, hence diagnosing kidney tumours or assessing kidney structure.
  • A tiny tissue is removed for microscopic examination to identify renal conditions, e.g. glomerulonephritis, or determine how much damage has occurred.

TREATMENT OPTIONS

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR 

If you have any one of these symptoms, particularly if they remain unusually long and you do not get better, it’s important to seek immediate medical attention. Catching kidney disease early on can be helpful as this helps slow its course and avoid complications. For individuals with risk factors for kidney disease like diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and a family history of renal malfunction, regular check-ups, including renal function tests, are necessary.
