Sr. Nephrologist, Vibrant Hospital Gurugram
Kidney conditions rarely announce themselves clearly, and patients often first learn of a problem from a lab result rather than an obvious symptom. Dr. Anupam Roy's fifteen years of nephrology practice are built for exactly that kind of early intervention. He completed his MBBS at Silchar Medical College, Assam, his MD in Medicine at Assam Medical College, and a DNB in Nephrology at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, with particular focus on non-dialysis chronic kidney disease and diabetic kidney disease.As a nephrologist in gurgaon who lays special emphasis on early detection and prevention of kidney disease, he closely manages the relationship between hypertension and kidney health, recognising how often the two conditions compound one another. He is a member of the Association of Physicians of India, the Indian Medical Association, the Indian Society of Nephrology, and the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation, staying closely engaged with advances across the field.
Your kidneys are never complaining most of the time, and that is the problem. Each of your kidneys is about the size of your fist, but, when they work together, they clean out the waste products and excess fluid from your bloodstream, control your blood pressure, control the salt in your body, and even help in making red blood cells. The problem develops slowly over a long period of time. By the time you feel tired, bloated, and have lost your appetite, a large part of your kidney function can be affected already. This is why it is always better to contact the right nephrologists in Gurgaon before you develop any symptoms, if you have diabetes, hypertension, or even a family history of kidney disease. At Vibrant Hospitals, Gurugram, we take care of patients who come to us with problems ranging from an abnormal urine report to chronic kidney disease.
Common grounds for consultation include:
,Fluid retention in the feet, face or around the eyes
Here are a few facts that will come as a shock to many. Diagnosis of kidney disease involves just two tests. One is the blood test for creatinine, from which an index called eGFR is calculated, while the other is the urine test for proteins. That is all. If you have diabetes, hypertension, a family history of kidney disease or have been using painkillers for years, it makes sense to undergo both tests annually. Special mention needs to be made about painkillers. Over-the-counter drugs such as diclofenac or ibuprofen, which are regularly used to relieve backache, joint pain or headaches, put additional load on the kidneys, especially in old age or if the person is already on BP medications. Salt is also important. Too much of it causes a rise in blood pressure, which in turn affects the kidneys adversely. Water? Drink enough, but if your doctor has prescribed a fluid intake restriction, abide by it.
Answers to common queries about Nephrology & Dialysis services
Diseases of the kidneys and the problems that arise because of them, such as chronic kidney disease, presence of protein or blood in the urine, edema from the kidneys, kidney infection, disturbance in salt and minerals balance, and high blood pressure from the kidneys. They also handle dialysis and transplantation services.
No. A nephrologist deals with kidney problems using drugs and management. A urologist is involved with surgical problems of the urinary system such as the presence of stones. In some cases, the two may be working on the same patient.
There usually aren’t any, and that’s exactly what makes testing important. In cases where there are any symptoms, these include puffy eyes, foam urine, swollen legs and fatigue.
Well, that’s not easy to answer. In most cases, a renal injury, if detected on time, will recover. Chronic kidney disease will not recover. However, the rate of progression of this illness can be slowed down by controlling blood pressure and sugar level, having a proper diet and taking medication.
This should be enough to make your urine pale yellow in colour, about 2-3 litres a day for most people, but the amount varies depending on weather, job and state of health. In case of kidney, heart or liver disease, stick to the recommended maximum intake by your doctor.
