Himanshu Verma, Head of the Department of Nephrology at Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital, said in his presentation that the process from kidney disease to kidney failure happens in five stages.
“But it is possible to completely overcome the disease in the first and second stages. For this, first of all, it is necessary to have awareness among the patients so that the disease can be identified in the initial stage itself.”
How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy?
According to him, keeping the body mass index (BMI) between 20-25, walking 30 minutes in a day and at least five days in a week, changing lifestyle, reducing the consumption of pain-relieving medicines, among other precautions, are effective in controlling the disease in the initial stage.
Kidney Disease: Who’s at Risk?
Patients with diabetes and high blood pressure would be at highest risk of kidney disease. “This risk can be much higher for people over 60 years of age with any of these diseases.”
Is Ayurveda Effective in Treating Kidney Disease?
The experts also talked about on alternative treatment methods of ayurveda like Neeri KFT, a traditional ayurvedic polyherbal formulation that has been found to be effective in regulating functions of at least six genes variants causing kidney dysfunction.
