Patiala 20th Mar,
2020:- Dialysis
patients attended an awareness health talk on kidney disease to mark World
Kidney Day at Patiala Heart Institute here Friday.
In talk, Dr. Udham Singh, Sr.
Nephrologist spoke about the significance of dietary habits in maintaining
kidney health along with tips and prevention measures to keep the kidneys
healthy.
He highlighted the knowledge
on treatment modalities, diet and lifestyle management besides talking on
common queries like who can donate kidney, what should be the frequency of
dialysis and dietary advice.
Talking about the growing menace of
kidney disease, he said that kidney failure cases are rapidly rising. Kidney
failure or end-stage kidney disease is a condition, in which both kidneys are
permanently damaged and can no longer perform their primary function of
filtering toxins, wastes and extra fluids from the body.
The quality of life is better
after dialysis, pointed out Dr. Singh. It’s a procedure that can help
patients with end stage renal disease to increase quantity and quality of
life. It also offers cure from kidney failure. With
regular dialysis a kidney patient can live an active, healthy and independent
life, he asserted.
Dilshad Singh Sidhu , COO of
Patiala Heart Institute said that we have further upgraded our dialysis
unit with an association with Fresinius Medical Care. He said that the
state-of-the-art dialysis unit is providing 24X7 dialysis services and
comprises of a highly experienced team of dialysis technicians and Senior Nephrologist.
