"Diagnosis and Management of Kidney Disease"

Diagnosis and management of kidney disease involve identifying how well the kidneys are functioning and addressing any issues. Doctors use blood tests, urine tests, imaging, and sometimes biopsies to detect problems like decreased filtering ability or damage. Treatment depends on the cause and severity, including controlling blood pressure and blood sugar, medications, lifestyle changes, and in advanced cases, dialysis or kidney transplant. Early detection helps prevent progression, maintain quality of life, and reduce complications such as heart problems and fluid retention. Regular follow-up and tailored care are essential for managing kidney health effectively.
