Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment

Chronic Kidney Disease Treatment at Zydus Hospitals
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood and remove waste and excess fluids. It typically develops over time and often remains asymptomatic in the early stages. Without timely intervention, chronic kidney disease can advance to kidney failure, requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.
Zydus Hospitals offers structured chronic kidney disease treatment in India, focusing on early detection, risk factor control, and slowing disease progression. Our nephrology team works with patients across all stages of CKD to preserve kidney function and manage associated complications.

Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
CKD often develops silently over months or years, with damage building up gradually. Individuals with the following conditions are at increased risk:
Diabetes mellitus
High blood pressure (Hypertension)
Cardiovascular disease
Family history of kidney failure or CKD

Other risk factors may include prolonged use of certain medications, recurrent urinary tract infections, or exposure to toxins.

Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease
Many people may not experience symptoms until kidney function is significantly reduced. When symptoms do occur, they can include:
Changes in urination (frequency or volume)
Swelling in the legs, ankles, or around the eyes
Persistent fatigue or weakness
Loss of appetite
Muscle cramps, particularly at night
Nausea or vomiting
Chest pain or shortness of breath due to fluid accumulation
These symptoms are nonspecific and may overlap with other conditions, making early consultation with a chronic kidney disease doctor essential for accurate diagnosis.

Diagnostic and Treatment Approach
CKD is typically diagnosed using a combination of:
Blood tests to measure glomerular filtration rate (GFR)
Urine tests for protein or albumin
Imaging studies such as ultrasound
Kidney biopsy in select cases
Chronic kidney disease treatment at Zydus Hospital includes:
Control of underlying conditions (diabetes, hypertension)
Dietary modifications and lifestyle counseling
Medications to manage complications like anemia, acidosis, or mineral imbalances
Monitoring and slowing progression to end-stage kidney disease
In advanced stages, patients may require renal replacement therapies. For eligible cases, we offer evaluation and support for chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation, coordinated through our multidisciplinary transplant team.

Kidney Transplant and Follow-Up
For patients with End-Stage CKD or kidney failure, a kidney transplant becomes a definitive treatment option. Our transplant program follows national and international protocols for matching, surgery, and post-transplant care. The goal is to restore long-term kidney function and improve quality of life.

Sustainable Kidney Health and Green Chronic Kidney Disease Practices
In alignment with environmental and clinical safety standards, Zydus follows green chronic kidney disease practices emphasizing reduced chemical use, minimal waste generation, and energy-efficient dialysis technologies. These efforts contribute to both patient safety and environmental responsibility.
If you have been diagnosed with CKD or are at high risk, early consultation with a chronic kidney disease specialist is vital. Zydus Hospitals is equipped with the expertise and infrastructure to provide advanced care throughout every stage of kidney disease.
