Kidney Failure: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment Options | Dr. Bhupeshkumar Kaware

Kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste, maintaining fluid balance, and regulating blood pressure. When they stop functioning effectively, a condition known as kidney failure or end-stage renal disease (ESRD) occurs. Timely diagnosis and expert care are essential to managing this life-impacting condition.

What Causes Kidney Failure?
Kidney failure may result from chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, glomerulonephritis, or polycystic kidney disease. In some cases, acute kidney injury due to dehydration, infections, or medications can also lead to kidney failure.

Common Symptoms
Patients with kidney failure often experience:

• Fatigue and weakness
• Swelling in the legs, ankles, or face
• Nausea or vomiting
• Shortness of breath
• Decreased urine output
• Confusion or difficulty concentrating

Diagnosis and Treatment
Early diagnosis through blood tests (serum creatinine, GFR), urine tests, and imaging can help prevent progression. Treatment may involve:

• Medications to control blood pressure and manage symptoms
• Dialysis, which removes waste products from the blood
• Kidney transplantation, the most effective long-term solution for ESRD
