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.
