Your kidneys are essential for maintaining your overall well-being. These hardworking organs filter waste, balance fluids, regulate blood pressure, and support bone and red blood cell health. Yet, kidney diseases often develop quietly, showing few signs until they become serious.

This World Kidney Day, let’s highlight the importance of kidney health and how Ajanta Hospital is dedicated to helping you protect it.

Why Your Kidneys Matter

Your kidneys perform vital functions that keep your body in balance:

•  Waste Removal: Kidneys filter toxins from your blood, removing them through urine.
•  Fluid Balance: They regulate your body's water levels, preventing dehydration or fluid overload.
• Blood Pressure Control: By managing sodium and releasing hormones, kidneys help maintain healthy blood pressure.
• Red Blood Cell Production: Kidneys stimulate bone marrow to produce red blood cells.
• Bone Strength: They activate vitamin D, essential for strong bones.

Common Kidney Problems to Be Aware Of

Kidney conditions often progress silently, so early awareness is key. Some common concerns include:

• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
•  Kidney Stones
• Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
• Kidney Infections
• Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)

Signs Your Kidneys May Need Attention

Pay close attention to these warning signs:

•  Frequent urination
•  Blood in urine
•  Swollen ankles or puffy eyes
• Constant fatigue
•  Loss of appetite
• Dry, itchy skin

If you notice these symptoms, seeking medical advice early can prevent serious complications.

How to Keep Your Kidneys Healthy

• Stay Hydrated: Drinking enough water helps flush out toxins and supports kidney function. Aim for 8–10 glasses daily.
• Eat a Balanced Diet: Include kidney-friendly foods like berries, cauliflower, cabbage, and bell peppers. Reduce salt, processed foods, and excessive protein intake.
• Monitor Blood Pressure and Blood Sugar: Uncontrolled hypertension and diabetes are major risk factors for kidney damage. Regular check-ups are essential.
• Exercise Regularly: Physical activity helps maintain a healthy weight, supports blood pressure control, and improves kidney function.
• Use Painkillers Wisely: Overuse of NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) can harm your kidneys. Follow medical advice for safe usage.
• Quit Smoking and Limit Alcohol: Smoking reduces blood flow to the kidneys, while excessive alcohol strains their function.
• Schedule Regular Health Check-ups: Early detection is key to preventing kidney complications.
