When should I see a kidney specialist (nephrologist)?

You should consult a nephrologist if blood tests show elevated creatinine or declining eGFR levels (below 60), if there is blood or persistent protein in your urine, or if you have severe high blood pressure that remains uncontrolled.

Can kidney disease be treated and slowed early?

Yes. Early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) can be managed successfully. With specific medications, simple diet adjustments, and proper blood pressure control, we can slow down kidney damage and delay dialysis.

How can I delay or completely avoid dialysis?

Avoiding dialysis requires keeping blood pressure under 130/80, managing diabetes carefully, following a low-sodium diet, avoiding kidney-toxic medicines (like NSAID pain relievers), and keeping regular follow-up visits to adjust treatments.

Does high blood pressure damage my kidneys?

Yes. High blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure. It places excess pressure on the tiny blood filters inside the kidneys, leading to scarring and structural damage over time.
