JawaPos.com Kidneys, also known as kidneys, function to filter excess fluid and waste from the blood. When a person’s kidneys are damaged or not functioning, dialysis must be done. This condition is generally experienced by someone who has diabetes and hypertension as a result of complications.
Health expert from India Dr Saurabh Pokhariyal, Co-Founder, VitusCare Dialysis Centers said that diabetes and high blood pressure can have a significant impact on kidney function. This condition causes loss of function over time, a medical condition called Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).
“If left untreated, this disease can progress further and can eventually lead to kidney failure. This makes it difficult for the kidneys to process waste, thus requiring extrinsic support to facilitate dialysis through repeated therapy known as dialysis,” said dr. Saurabh Pokhariyal, as reported by India.com, Sunday (7/8).
Links Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, and Kidney Disease
According to dr. Saurabh Pokhariyal the link between diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney disease is sometimes difficult for people to understand. This situation is more of a vicious circle.
Diabetes and high blood pressure, both are lifestyle diseases that are too widespread, which directly cause kidney disease that can get worse over time. Symptoms of kidney failure include weight loss, poor appetite, fatigue, swollen ankles and feet, blood in the urine, insomnia, itchy skin, muscle cramps, and headaches.
