Frequently Asked Questions

सामान्य प्रश्नCommon Questions About Kidney Health

General awareness answers only. Always consult your nephrologist or physician for personal medical decisions.

सूज (विशेषतः पायांवर), थकवा, झोप कमी, लघवीत बदल (फेस येणे, रंग बदलणे), उलटी, भूक न लागणे ही सामान्य लक्षणे आहेत. Common signs include swelling (especially legs/face), fatigue, changes in urination (foamy, dark, reduced), nausea, and loss of appetite. Early CKD is often silent — regular blood tests (creatinine, urea) are key.
⚕️ If you notice these symptoms, please consult a nephrologist or physician immediately.
Chronic Kidney Disease म्हणजे किडनीची क्षमता हळूहळू कमी होणे — सहसा 3 महिन्यांपेक्षा जास्त काळ. हे 5 stages मध्ये येते, eGFR (kidney filtering rate) वर आधारित. CKD is a gradual loss of kidney function, staged 1–5 based on eGFR. Stage 5 (GFR <15) is kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant.
⚕️ Educational only. Please consult your nephrologist for staging and treatment of your condition.
सामान्यतः जेव्हा eGFR 10–15 mL/min पेक्षा कमी होते, किंवा जेव्हा लक्षणे खूप जास्त असतात. Dialysis is generally needed when eGFR falls below 10–15 mL/min or when uremic symptoms (vomiting, confusion, fluid overload) develop. The decision depends on individual clinical condition.
⚕️ This is general information only. Your nephrologist will guide you on the right timing.
CKD मध्ये सामान्यतः पोटॅशियम, फॉस्फरस, मीठ आणि प्रथिने (protein) कमी करावे लागतात. फळे, नट्स, दुग्धजन्य पदार्थ याबाबत सावधगिरी. In CKD, dietary restrictions on potassium, phosphorus, sodium, and protein are common — but vary by stage and lab values. A clinical dietitian's personalised plan is essential.
⚕️ Do not self-restrict without consulting your nephrologist and dietitian — restrictions change with CKD stage.
Creatinine वाढणे म्हणजे किडनीवर ताण आहे, पण एकच value पुरेसे नाही — trend बघणे महत्त्वाचे. Raised creatinine may reflect kidney stress or actual disease. A single high value needs context (dehydration, muscle mass, medications). Repeat tests and nephrology evaluation are necessary.
⚕️ Please consult a nephrologist — do not adjust medications yourself.
सध्याच्या वैद्यकीय संशोधनानुसार, जवळच्या नातेवाईकांना किडनी देण्याचे दीर्घकालीन धोके कमी आहेत, पण सखोल तपासणी आवश्यक आहे. Living kidney donation is generally considered safe in carefully screened donors. Long-term risks are low but not zero. Evaluation by a transplant team is mandatory before any donation.
⚕️ Always discuss organ donation with a certified transplant nephrologist and transplant coordinator.
