CKD MANAGEMENT — Kamala Kidney Hospital, Karmanghat
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is progressive and requires a comprehensive, long-term plan. At Kamala Kidney Hospital, Karmanghat, our multidisciplinary team provides early detection, personalized medical therapy, nutrition counselling, and timely dialysis planning to improve quality of life and slow progression.
Overview: What is CKD?
CKD means reduced kidney function lasting months or years. Common causes include diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis, and prolonged obstruction. Early stages may be silent — screening with blood tests (eGFR) and urine tests is essential.
Key goals of management
- Slow progression of kidney damage
- Control blood pressure & blood sugar
- Manage anemia, bone-mineral disorders, and acidosis
- Prepare timely for renal replacement therapy (if needed)
- Improve nutrition, activity, and quality of life
Who should be screened?
People with diabetes, hypertension, family history of kidney disease, recurrent urinary issues, or age >60 years.
Our approach at Kamala Kidney Hospital
- Confirm diagnosis: eGFR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio
