The Diverse Kidney Specialists

kidney specialist in noida

The human kidney is a wondrous organ. Like the liver, the kidney performs many functions and has the responsibility of carrying out many a duty for the regulation and maintenance of the human body. Duties such as waste excretion, hormonal regulation, electrolyte and water balance and many others are the prime function of the kidneys. 

It is no surprise, when we see that kidney specialists are many and diverse, based on the function and part they treat.

All kidney specialists come under the banner of urology, which deals with all the issues of the urinary tract, the main organ being the kidney. Specialties such as urology deal with most of the general workings of the kidney and its disease management, while others such as nephrologists are concerned with the tubules called nephrons that allow the kidneys to perform optimally. Other super specialists such as uro-oncologists deal exclusively with tumour conditions and related malignant afflictions of the kidney.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS AT RISK?

Kidney diseases are something, which people brush off as highly depressing problems that are meant for older people or a dying person in a melodramatic movie. This complacent approach towards kidney disease will lead us nowhere! If we knowingly or unknowingly abuse a part of our body, then it is bound to succumb to the pressure. 

There are, of course, measures that one can take to be careful, like drinking plenty of fluids, avoiding self-harming habits like smoking and drinking and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in general. For people with chronic issues, it is always advisable to be armed with multiple backup plans if something goes wrong, like being in constant touch with their nephrologists and getting regular tests done. One can also be sure to catch the problem early by being aware of the symptoms / warning signs of kidney diseases. Having high blood pressure, frequent or painful urination, blood or protein in the urine, and swelling of the hands and feet are some of them.

It always helps to go for periodic check ups and visits to the nephrologist, i.e. a physician who specializes in kidney function, to be aware of things that are going on in our body, which we cannot physically keep track of. Thankfully, with an abundance of doctors and hospitals and the increasing ease with which appointments can be booked, this does not seem like a hurdle. By - Sukanya
