Kidney disfunction

Kidney dysfunction refers to a condition where the kidneys are not working properly and are losing their ability to filter waste and extra fluid from the blood. This can lead to a buildup of waste products in the body and potentially serious health complications.

Types of Kidney Dysfunction :-

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): A sudden loss of kidney function, often temporary and potentially reversible with prompt treatment. Causes can include severe dehydration, infections, certain medications, or blockages in the urinary tract.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A long-term condition where kidney function gradually declines over time. Commonly caused by diabetes and high blood pressure, it can lead to end-stage kidney failure if left untreated.

Causes of Kidney Dysfunction :-

Common causes of kidney dysfunction include diabetes and high blood pressure, which can damage the kidney’s filtering units and blood vessels. Other causes include inflammation of the kidneys (glomerulonephritis), a genetic disorder called polycystic kidney disease (PKD), blocked urinary tracts, recurring infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications.

Symptoms of Kidney Dysfunction :-

Symptoms of kidney dysfunction can be subtle at first, particularly with chronic kidney disease. As kidney function declines, common symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, changes in urination, foamy urine, itchy skin, muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and high blood pressure.

Managing Kidney Dysfunction :-

While there is no cure for chronic kidney disease, treatment focuses on slowing progression and managing symptoms. This involves managing underlying conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, adopting healthy lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, quitting smoking), and taking prescribed medications. In advanced cases, dialysis or a kidney transplant may be necessary.
