*Causes of Kidney Diseases:*
Kidney diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
– *Diabetes (Diabetic Nephropathy):* High blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to chronic kidney disease over time.
– *Hypertension (High Blood Pressure):* Persistent high blood pressure can cause damage to the blood vessels in the kidneys, impairing their ability to function properly.
– *Glomerulonephritis:* Inflammation of the tiny filters in the kidneys (glomeruli) can lead to kidney damage and, if untreated, result in chronic kidney disease.
– *Polycystic Kidney Disease:* A genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure.
– *Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):* Recurrent UTIs can lead to kidney infections (pyelonephritis) that may cause lasting damage if not treated promptly.
– *Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis):* The formation of stones in the kidneys can obstruct urine flow, leading to infection and kidney damage.
*Advanced Treatments at EMC Hospital:*
– *24×7 Emergency Dialysis:* EMC Hospital provides a 24-hour emergency dialysis facility for critically ill patients in the ICU. This service is crucial for patients who require immediate intervention to remove toxins and excess fluids from their blood due to kidney failure.
– *SLUD Machines:* The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at EMC Hospital is equipped with the latest SLUD (Slow Low-Efficiency Daily Dialysis) machines. These machines offer a gentler form of dialysis that is particularly beneficial for patients with severe kidney complications, allowing for more prolonged and gradual treatment.
– *Peritoneal Dialysis:* This is an alternative to hemodialysis that allows patients to manage their dialysis at home. It provides flexibility and is particularly suitable for patients who prefer a less invasive approach to dialysis.
– *Kidney Transplantation:* For patients with end-stage kidney disease, EMC Hospital offers comprehensive kidney transplant services. This includes pre-transplant evaluations, surgery, and post-transplant care, all coordinated by a team of experts led by Dr. Chetan Mahajan.
