Additionally, if you are at risk of kidney failure due to conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney disease, it is important to seek specialist care for early diagnosis and treatment.
In some cases, kidney disease can be prevented or delayed through lifestyle changes and medical treatment.
Kidney specialists may recommend reducing your risk of developing kidney disease through regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, quitting smoking, managing diabetes and high blood pressure, and getting regular medical check-ups.
In some cases, kidney function can be restored.
For example, if the cause of kidney damage is high blood pressure or diabetes, controlling these conditions can slow the progression of kidney disease and preserve kidney function.
Kidney function may also improve if the underlying cause of the kidney damage is treated. However, severe kidney damage may not be reversible. In these cases, treatments may focus on slowing the progression of the disease and managing symptoms instead.
At the Kidney Health Care Clinic, we are passionate to provide quality and individualised care for our patients. Besides that, we also aim to help patients better understand their kidney conditions, thus empowering to lead a better, more meaningful, and healthier life.
