Frequently Asked Questions

nephrologyPic

Q.1 What is a nephrologist, and when should I see one?
Ans: A nephrologist is a kidney specialist. You should see one if you have kidney-related concerns, such as high blood pressure, kidney stones, changes in urine, or a family history of kidney disease.
Q.2 What are the most common symptoms of kidney problems
Ans: Common symptoms include changes in urine color or output, swelling in the ankles or face, high blood pressure, fatigue, and persistent back pain.
Q.3 What is chronic kidney disease (CKD), and how is it diagnosed?
Ans: CKD is a long-term condition where the kidneys gradually lose function. It’s diagnosed through blood tests to measure creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR).
Q.4 How is kidney function measured, and what do GFR and creatinine levels mean?
Ans: GFR (glomerular filtration rate) measures how well the kidneys are filtering waste. Creatinine is a waste product that, when elevated, may indicate kidney problems.
Q.5 What can I do to maintain healthy kidneys?
Ans: To maintain kidney health, stay hydrated, control blood pressure and blood sugar, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid excessive use of over-the-counter pain medications.
Q.6 What can I eat for kidney health?
Ans: A nephrologist or dietitian can provide guidance on a kidney-friendly diet, which may involve monitoring sodium, potassium, and phosphorus intake while ensuring adequate protein consumption.
Q.7 What are the risk factors for kidney stones, and how can I prevent them?
Ans: Risk factors include dehydration, diet high in certain minerals, and family history. Prevention measures may include staying hydrated and dietary modifications.
Q.8 What are the different types of kidney stones?
Ans: The most common types are calcium stones, uric acid stones, and struvite stones. The type determines the cause and treatment.
Q.9 What is dialysis, and when is it necessary?
Ans: Dialysis is a treatment to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys can’t do it. It’s necessary for individuals with advanced kidney disease or kidney failure.
Q.10 What's involved in kidney transplantation?
Ans: Kidney transplantation is a surgical procedure where a healthy kidney is placed in the body to replace a non-functioning one. It offers the potential for a better quality of life for those with kidney failure.
Q.11 What are the signs of an acute kidney injury (AKI), and is it reversible?
Ans:AKI can cause sudden changes in urine output, fatigue, confusion, and swelling. It may be reversible with prompt medical attention.
Q.12 Can I live a normal life with one kidney?
Ans: Most people can live a normal, healthy life with one kidney, but it’s essential to monitor kidney health and follow a kidney-friendly lifestyle.
Q.13 What should I expect during a kidney biopsy?
Ans: A kidney biopsy is a procedure to diagnose kidney diseases. It involves inserting a thin needle through the skin and into the kidney to obtain a small tissue sample.
Q.14 Is there a link between kidney health and heart health?
Ans: Yes, kidney health and heart health are closely related. Kidney problems can impact blood pressure and fluid balance, which, in turn, affect the heart.
Q.15 How often should I get my kidney function checked if I have kidney disease or risk factors?
Ans: The frequency of monitoring varies based on the individual’s condition, but regular check-ups are typically necessary to assess kidney health.
