Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a progressive condition where kidney function declines over time, leading to the accumulation of waste and fluid in the body.

What is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)?

CKD occurs when the kidneys are unable to filter toxins and excess fluids efficiently, leading to gradual kidney damage. It is classified into five stages, with Stage 5 being end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) requiring dialysis or transplant.

Common Causes of CKD:

Diabetes (Diabetic Nephropathy) – A leading cause of kidney failure, affecting many patients in Jabalpur and surrounding areas

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) – Damages kidney blood vessels and is prevalent among adults in Mahakoshal

Glomerulonephritis – Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units, commonly diagnosed at Apollo Hospital Jabalpur

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) – A genetic disorder causing cysts in the kidneys, leading to progressive kidney damage

Recurrent Kidney Infections & UTIs – More common in rural Madhya Pradesh, often leading to CKD if untreated

Symptoms of Chronic Kidney Disease

Early-stage CKD may not show symptoms, but as kidney function declines, patients may experience:

• Fatigue, weakness, and loss of energy
• Swelling in legs, feet, and face due to fluid retention
• Persistent nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite
• High blood pressure that is difficult to control
• Shortness of breath due to fluid buildup in the lungs
• Frequent urination, especially at night
• Itchy skin and muscle cramps

If you experience any of these symptoms, consult Apollo Hospital Jabalpur’s nephrology team for early detection and treatment. Patients from Sagar, Rewa, Satna, Chhindwara, and beyond trust our hospital for specialized kidney care.

CKD Diagnosis & Early Detection

Early detection is crucial in managing CKD and preventing complications. Our nephrology specialists in Jabalpur offer comprehensive diagnostic tests, including:

Blood Tests (Creatinine & GFR) – To measure kidney function

Urine Tests (Albuminuria, Proteinuria) – To detect protein leakage

Kidney Ultrasound & Imaging – To assess kidney structure and function

Kidney Biopsy – To diagnose underlying causes and determine severity

Patients from Dindori, Anuppur, Shahdol, and surrounding districts rely on Apollo Hospital Jabalpur for accurate CKD diagnosis.

Treatment & Management of CKD

While CKD has no cure, proper management can slow its progression and improve quality of life. Our nephrologists in Mahakoshal specialize in:

1. Lifestyle & Dietary Modifications

• Low-sodium & low-protein diet to reduce kidney strain
• Blood sugar & blood pressure control for diabetes & hypertension patients
• Fluid & electrolyte balance monitoring

Personalized nutrition plans for kidney health, tailored for patients in Jabalpur and neighboring regions

2. Medications for CKD

• Blood pressure medications (ACE inhibitors, ARBs) to protect kidney function
• Diabetes management drugs to regulate blood sugar levels
• Phosphate binders & calcium supplements to prevent bone disease
• Anemia treatment with iron supplements & Erythropoietin therapy
• Diuretics to manage fluid retention and reduce swelling

3. Dialysis for Advanced CKD

For Stage 5 CKD (End-Stage Kidney Disease), we provide state-of-the-art dialysis services in Jabalpur, including:

Hemodialysis – Blood is filtered through a dialysis machine at our dialysis units in Jabalpur, Satna, and Katni

Preventing Chronic Kidney Disease

Preventing CKD is crucial, especially in high-risk patients in Jabalpur and Mahakoshal.

Key prevention strategies include:

• Regular kidney function screening for individuals with diabetes and hypertension
• Staying hydrated to maintain kidney health
• Avoiding overuse of painkillers (NSAIDs), which can damage kidneys
• Eating a balanced diet rich in vegetables and low in processed foods
• Managing weight and exercising regularly

Apollo Hospital Jabalpur runs awareness programs and free CKD screening camps in Mandla, Seoni, Dindori, Anuppur, and surrounding regions to promote kidney health.

CKD and Its Impact on Overall Health

• Untreated CKD can lead to serious complications, including:
• Heart disease & stroke due to high blood pressure and fluid overload
• Bone weakness (renal osteodystrophy) from calcium and phosphate imbalances
• Fluid overload leading to lung congestion
• Severe anemia & weakness due to reduced erythropoietin production
• Nerve damage (Neuropathy) affecting patients with long-term diabetes

Patients from Katni, Sagar, Rewa, Satna, Chhindwara, Panna, and other parts of Madhya Pradesh rely on our expertise for top-quality nephrology care.
