Kamineni Hospitals is organising an awareness session tomorrow on World Kidney Day to spread the information about the causes, precautions and cure of kidney diseases.
Talking about the event, Nephrologist Y Ramesh, Kamineni Hospitals said “The International Society of Nephrology (ISN) has been observing the second Thursday of March as World Kidney Day. The theme for this year is ‘Kidney Disease & Children.
Nearly one million people develop end stage renal disease in the country, due to lack of awareness and late referral, very few seek medical help. People with kidney diseases may remain asymptomatic in the early stages.
But, some suffer from headache, laziness, loss of appetite, anemia, muscle cramps and lack of concentration. The disease can affect diabetics, people over 50, smokers, the hypertensive and the obese.”
“Over 50 per cent of deaths in the end stage of the disease are due to heart attacks. When they come early, they can be treated for problems that could lead to kidney diseases. But at later stages even medicines cannot help much, said the nephrologist Urologist P Sampath Kumar said “Diabetics are generally prone to kidney ailments.
On an average, people test their blood sugar levels only seven years after they have turned diabetic, he said. A sedentary lifestyle and improper food habits contribute to obesity, which, in turn, may lead to kidney diseases.
In this regard, the hospital is offering a special package at a cost of Rs 600 for patients to undergo ultrasound abdomen test, complete urine test, ceratine and other test under NTR Vaidya Seva scheme to mark the World Kidney Day.”
Meanwhile, the hospital management is also offering a special health package for women patients with a cost of Rs 2,400 to undergo gynecology, general medicine, mammogram, kidney test and other checkups.
The package will be operated from March 9 to 19. Women patients should enroll their names by contacting on the given number (0866-2463333)”, he added. according to Nephrologist Y Ramesh of Kamineni Hospitals.
