Fortis Hospitals which is considered to be one of the
best kidney hospitals in India
offers premium care to all the patients. There are innumerous misconceptions
surrounding kidney disease and to burst the bubble, let’s discuss a few myths
that are believed by most of you.
·
All types of kidney diseases are
irreversible.
Acute kidney injury is potentially reversible if it’s
detected at an early stage and treated efficiently.
·
In kidney failure, only one kidney
fails
No. It may seem unbelievable but kidney failure
actually means that both the kidneys together are functioning to less than 10%
of their original capacity.
· Does swelling of body mean your kidney is failing?
No. Swelling of body can be caused by other diseases,
for instance: heart disease. In kidney disease, swelling is visible only when
the patient has significant loss of protein in urine. This loss of protein can
lead to kidney failure if not diagnosed and treated promptly.
· Once dialysis is done, then it’s to last forever
In acute kidney injury, patient’s dialysis can be
stopped after recovery of renal functions either partially or entirely. Even in
chronic kidney disease sometimes sudden and abrupt deterioration may occur
which may subside with dialysis for a short period of time.
· Kidney donation cannot be done across gender
Both male and female can donate kidney voluntarily to
their family member if the blood group is compatible.
· All types of kidney disease are
aggressive by nature
Not all kidney diseases are serious. Few worsen pretty
slowly and may take a couple of years. However, kidney biopsy is needed to
establish diagnosis precisely.
At FortisInternational Care , we take utmost care of all our patients who are
suffering from immense kidney diseases. Backed by a patient-centric approach
that’s focused on quality care utilizing leading edge technology, we are
certainly one of the best kidney transplanthospitals in India.
