Significant damage to your nephrons may reduce your kidney function. Doctors diagnose chronic kidney failure if lack of function persists for more than 3 months.

Stages of kidney failure:

There are 5 stages of kidney disease based on how well the kidneys can filter waste out of the blood. This is measured by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The stages of kidney disease are based on the eGFR number:

Stage 1:
Stage 1 kidney disease means you have mild kidney damage and an eGFR of 90 or greater. This means your kidneys are healthy and working well but you have other signs of kidney damage, such as protein in your urine or physical damage to your kidneys.

Stage 2 :
Stage 2 kidney disease refers to mild kidney damage and an eGFR between 60 and 89. This means that like in Stage 1, your kidneys are generally healthy and working well but there are other signs to indicate kidney damage such as protein in the urine or physical damage to the kidneys.

Stage 3 :
Stage 3 kidney disease is divided into 2 stages. Stage 3a refers to an eGFR between 45 and 59 while stage 3b means you have an eGFR between 30 and 44. People with Stage 3 kidney disease usually do not have any symptoms. There may also be other health complications such as waste build-ups in the body, high blood pressure, anaemia and bone disease.

Stage 4 :
Stage 4 kidney disease indicates an eGFR between 15 and 29. This means that the kidneys are moderately or severely damaged. Many people with stage 4 disease have symptoms such as swelling in the hands and feet, back pain, and urinating more or less than normal. People with Stage 4 disease should also begin discussing about preparing for kidney failure with their doctor.

Stage 5 :
Stage 5 disease means the eGFR is less than 15. This means the kidneys are getting very close to failure or have completely failed. Once kidney failure occurs, kidney dialysis or a kidney transplant is needed.

At Swanand Kidney Clinic in Pune, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive and compassionate care for patients with kidney failure treatment in Pune. By combining conventional treatments like dialysis with personalized Ayurvedic therapies, we aim to improve kidney function, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.

A kidney stone is a hard mass that forms from crystals in the urine. For most people, natural chemicals in the urine keep stones from forming and causing problems.

One of the best things you can do to avoid kidney stones is to drink plenty of water every day. This will help make sure that you urinate frequently to avoid any build-up of calcium or uric acid. Don't underestimate your sweat! Saunas, hot yoga and heavy exercise may sound good for your health, but they also may lead to kidney stones.

What Treatment Options are available for the treatment of stones?

Treatment begins with prevention as ‘Prevention is the best cure’. Treatment depends upon the size of the stone, the size of the stone, the type of stone, the presence of infection or obstruction to urinary flow, renal function and patient preference.

As a general measure, you need to increase your fluid intake to more than 2.5L per day, cut back on salt intake, avoid fruit juices, and soft drinks, and cut back on red meat quantity. Stones smaller in size, usually less than 8 to 10 mm may pass spontaneously or with the aid of tablets to facilitate expulsion. However surgical intervention may be needed if stones are either infected or causing obstruction or the patient symptomatic despite medical measures.

Hydrate with water. Be sure to keep well hydrated, especially when doing exercise or activities that cause a lot of sweating. You should drink 2-3 quarts of liquid or 8-12 cups per day to produce a good amount of urine. Speak with a healthcare professional about the right amount of water that's best for you. Try to avoid sodas (especially those with high amounts of fructose), sweetened iced tea and grapefruit juice.

The following types of medical procedures may be needed to treat stones:
• Lithotripsy
• Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (Nephrolithotripsy)
• Shock Wave Lithotripsy
• Ureteroscopy

To effectively prevent kidney stone formation, staying properly hydrated is crucial. At Swanand Kidney Clinic in Bhosari, we emphasize the importance of drinking adequate fluids—aim for 2.5 to 3.0 litres daily—to dilute urine and minimize the concentration of stone-forming minerals. Additionally, a balanced diet rich in calcium, while limiting sodium and oxalate-rich foods, can significantly reduce your risk.

By adopting these lifestyle changes and consulting with our specialists, you can take proactive steps towards kidney stone prevention. At Swanand Kidney Clinic in Bhosari, we offer comprehensive kidney failure treatment in Bhosari using advanced, minimally invasive techniques.

Despite treatment advances, AKI mortality remains high—about 40% in critically ill patients. Factors that may influence high mortality include the increasing age of the patient population and the development of multisystem failure. Patients who fail to recover from AKI have a 25% chance of dying within 1 year. Also, in postoperative patients like Dr. Snehal Gaikwad and in AKI patients who need renal replacement therapy (dialysis), AKI is linked to an increased risk of death.
AKI carries a high economic toll as well. Many patients don’t recover, suffering end-stage renal disease (ESRD), which necessitates lifelong dialysis.

Causes:

Nephrotoxic drugs, such as aminoglycosides and contrast agents, can cause AKI. To avoid kidney injury, these agents must be administered carefully, with dosages tailored to the patient’s condition.

Overwhelming infection or sepsis is one of the most common causes of AKI. The kidney receives about 20% of total cardiac output in normal healthy persons. In contrast, patients with serious infections have reduced BP, which decreases blood flow to the kidneys and leads to ischemia. Renal tubules are highly sensitive to reduced blood flow. Sepsis disrupts blood flow to the kidneys the gut and the liver; some organs have well-perfused and nonperfused areas. As blood flow slows and stagnates, some kidney areas become under-perfused, ultimately suffering cell ischemia and death.

Signs and symptoms of AKI include:

decreased urine output (although occasionally, urine output remains normal)
chest pain or pressure
jugular vein distention
fluid retention, causing edematous legs, ankles, or feet
shortness of breath
confusion
nausea
seizures or coma in severe cases.
Understanding the causes, risks, and potential long-term impacts of AKI is essential for effective treatment and recovery. Acute kidney injury treatment in Pune is a critical condition that requires immediate attention and ongoing management. At Swanand Kidney Clinic, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support for patients affected by AKI.
