Chronic Kidney Disease

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Treatment in Bangalore

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood. Early diagnosis and timely management are crucial to slow disease progression and prevent complications.

At Manipal Hospital, Sarjapur Road, Bangalore, Dr. Mitesh Makwana, a trusted nephrologist, offers comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment plans for patients with chronic kidney disease at all stages.

What is chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

Chronic Kidney Disease is defined as progressive and irreversible damage to kidney function lasting more than three months. CKD often develops silently, with symptoms appearing only in advanced stages. With proper medical care, lifestyle changes, and regular monitoring, many patients can maintain good quality of life and delay the need for dialysis or transplant.

Common Causes of Chronic Kidney Disease

CKD can develop due to several underlying conditions, including:

  • Diabetes (leading cause of CKD)
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Recurrent kidney infections
  • Polycystic kidney disease
  • Long-term use of painkillers
  • Autoimmune disorders affecting kidneys

Identifying and treating the root cause is essential for effective CKD management.

Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease

In early stages, CKD may have no noticeable symptoms. As kidney function declines, patients may experience:

  • Fatigue and weakness
  • Swelling in feet, ankles, or face
  • Changes in urination frequency or colour
  • Loss of appetite or nausea
  • Shortness of breath
  • Difficulty concentrating

Regular health check-ups help detect CKD before symptoms worsen.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult a Kidney specialist in Sarjapur, Bangalore as early as possible. Dr. Mitesh Makwana evaluates each patient carefully to recommend the most suitable treatment plan for kidney health.

Stages of Chronic Kidney Disease

CKD is classified into five stages, based on kidney function (eGFR):

Stage 1–2: Mild kidney damage with near-normal function

Stage 3: Moderate reduction in kidney function

Stage 4: Severe kidney damage

Stage 5: Kidney failure (end-stage renal disease)

Dr. Mitesh Makwana provides stage-specific treatment to slow progression and manage complications effectively.

Diagnosis of CKD

At Manipal Hospital, CKD evaluation includes:

  • Blood tests (serum creatinine, eGFR)
  • Urine tests (protein, albumin levels)
  • Blood pressure monitoring
  • Ultrasound or imaging studies
  • Kidney biopsy (if required)

Accurate diagnosis helps in planning targeted treatment.
