A LIST OF KIDNEY DISEASES

The kidneys are two bean-shaped  organs. Each kidney is about the size of a fist. Your kidneys filter extra water and  wastes out of your blood and make urine. Kidney disease means your kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the  way they should.

 

Symptoms and  treatment options for nephrology  diseases can vary  depending on the specific condition. However,  common  symptoms may include changes  in urinary patterns, blood in  the urine, frequent urinary  tract infections, fatigue, swelling in the legs or ankles,  and high blood pressure.

 

The management and  treatment of nephrology  diseases often involve a  combination of lifestyle  changes, medications, and medical  procedures. Lifestyle modifications  may include maintaining a  healthy diet, controlling  blood pressure, staying  hydrated, exercising regularly, and  avoiding excessive intake of  certain substances  like sodium or alcohol. Medications  may be prescribed to control  symptoms, manage blood  pressure, treat  infections, or slow down  the progression of kidney  damage. In some cases, medical procedures or  surgeries may be necessary to  remove kidney stones, repair certain  kidney conditions, or provide  dialysis or kidney transplant  for end-stage kidney disease.

 

Regular  check-ups, adherence to medical advice, and  close monitoring of  kidney function  are crucial for preventing and  managing nephrology diseases. It is  important to consult with  a nephrologist, a specialized kidney  doctor, to develop an  individualized  treatment plan based  on one's specific condition  and medical history.
