Understanding Kidney Health: Hydration, Diet & Dialysis Insights
Your kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, balancing fluids, and regulating blood pressure. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) often progresses silently without obvious symptoms until advanced stages.
Key Preventive Habits:
• Maintain optimal hydration (2.5 to 3 liters of water daily, unless fluid restricted).
• Monitor blood pressure and blood sugar regularly.
• Avoid over-the-counter painkillers (NSAIDs) which can cause kidney damage.
• Reduce excess dietary salt and processed foods.
For patients with advanced renal failure, modern hemodialysis at Sahota Hospital offers safe, infection-controlled renal replacement therapy.
