World Kidney Day is celebrated every second Thursday of March to raise awareness about kidney diseases. Dr Ganesh Srinivasa Prasad P, Consultant Nephrology at Narayana Health City, Bommasandra, Bengaluru, shares valuable information for this year's event on March 14th.
Kidney diseases are concerning because they can lead to complete kidney failure, adding both economic and health burdens to society. More than 2 lakh people require dialysis each year, with new cases of kidney disease continually emerging. Prevention is crucial; regular health screenings can help detect kidney issues early.

Kidney disease often goes unnoticed because it's a silent killer, with 90 percent of patients showing no symptoms. Screening through blood and urine tests is essential to catch kidney disease early. It's important to consult with a nephrologist for guidance on kidney health and to control conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

Maintaining overall health is key. Being active, staying fit, and avoiding excessive painkillers or alternative medication usage can help prevent kidney issues. In the advanced stages, dialysis or kidney transplant becomes necessary to manage kidney failure and improve quality of life.
For eligible patients, a kidney transplant is the best option available. It offers a chance at a healthier, happier life for a longer duration. Affordability and facility availability play crucial roles in accessing this life-saving treatment option. Dr. Ganesh encourages those eligible for transplant to consider it seriously for a better future.
