FAQs for Nephrology in Pathanamthitta Kerala
Early symptoms may include fatigue, swelling in the ankles or feet, changes in urination, and high blood pressure. However, kidney disease can progress silently, so regular screening is important, especially if you have diabetes or hypertension.
CKD is typically diagnosed through blood tests (like serum creatinine), urine tests, and imaging studies to assess kidney function and structure over time.
Hemodialysis uses a machine to filter waste from the blood through a vascular access point, while peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen and a cleansing fluid to do the same inside your body.
While chronic kidney disease cannot usually be cured, early detection and proper management can slow progression, improve quality of life, and prevent complications.
You should consult a nephrologist if you have persistent high blood pressure, abnormal kidney test results, or symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, or changes in urination patterns — especially if you have diabetes or a family history of kidney disease.
