Exercise isn’t off-limit for CKD patients. Jogging, walking, light weights = stronger heart + better circulation. Consistency > intensity. Small steps, big wins. #exercise #kidney #running #walking #cardio #ckd #nephrology

Diabetes doesn’t just raise blood sugar it silently damages your kidneys. Protein in urine = first red flag 🚨.Creatinine may still look “normal,” but damage has begun. Early urine tests can save your kidneys. Don’t wait. #diabetes #ckd #kidney #health #proteinuria #sugar

Kidney disease gives no early warning 🚨.But 3 simple tests can save your kidneys:.🩸 Serum Creatinine & eGFR.💧 Urine Examination.🖥️ Ultrasound Scan. If you have diabetes, hypertension, or family history get tested early. #kidneyhealth #diabetes #hypertension #health #kidney

Most med students wait for creatinine to rise before calling it AKI. 🔹 Creatinine rises after damage is done.🔹 Early clue = ↓ urine output.Don’t let numbers fool you. Look at urine, context & function not just the lab slip. #aki #kidney #creatinine #urine #renal

Dialysis is the bridge when kidneys fail. 2 types you should know:.🔹 Hemodialysis → blood cleaned by a machine.🔹 Peritoneal Dialysis → fluid + body lining remove waste. Both help patients live healthier till transplant. 💙.#dialysis #hemodialysis #kidney #healthawareness

High BP? Relief may be in your kitchen.Bananas, coconut water, dry fruits = potassium power. Potassium balances sodium & eases BP key in the DASH diet. But NOT safe for kidney disease/hyperkalemia. Check with your doctor first. #hypertension #diet #bp

CKD stages (1–5) confuse many patients. Stage 1 or ‘mild CKD’ still means kidneys work but signs like protein in urine or ultrasound changes shouldn’t be ignored. Don’t panic, but act early. Understand your stage, protect your future. #ckd #kidneyhealth #proteinuria

Creatinine isn’t just a lab number.it’s your kidney’s report card. When GFR drops, creatinine rises → CKD risk. One test can reveal if your kidneys are struggling. Don’t ignore it. Act early. #kidneyhealth #ckd #creatinine #nephrology

It’s not the salt shaker it’s hidden salt that harms kidneys. Bread,biscuits,noodles,processed food = sodium traps. For CKD patients, hidden salt → high BP, swelling & faster kidney damage. Read labels. Choose fresh. Protect your kidneys. #ckd #kidneyhealth #nephrology

Kidneys whisper before they scream. ⚠️ Night urination.⚠️ Foamy urine.⚠️ Morning nausea.⚠️ Loss of appetite.These aren’t random they’re early CKD signs. Get a Kidney Function + urine protein test early. #kidneyhealth #ckd #diabetes #hypertension

Morning eye puffiness isn’t just ‘lack of sleep.’.It can be an early kidney warning → protein loss in urine. If you have diabetes, BP, or family kidney history don’t ignore it. Get a urine protein & kidney function test. #kidneyhealth #ckd #hypertension

Diabetes & BP don’t just hurt your heart your kidneys take the real hit. No pain. No warning. Just silent damage → CKD. Regular kidney tests = less risk, less regret. One check-up can prevent dialysis later. #kidneyhealth #ckd #diabetes #hypertension

One BP target doesn’t fit all. ✅ >65, no CV risk: <140/90 mmHg.✅ <65 or with diabetes: <130/80 mmHg.Every mmHg matters—stroke, heart, kidney risk all drop. Your BP isn’t just a number. It’s your future. #bloodpressure #diabetes #cardio

ckd doesn’t just harm kidneys. it weakens bones. it damages the heart. high phosphate + low calcium = fractures + artery calcification. check your levels. protect your body. #ckd #bonehealth #kidneyhealth #ckdawareness #calciumdeficiency #vitaminddeficiency #drsrikanth

most people think CKD only affects toxin removal. but it can silently weaken your bones too. high phosphate + low vitamin D = bone loss + fractures. your kidneys and bones are deeply connected. don’t ignore your skeleton. #ckd #bonehealth #kidneyhealth #mineralbonedisorder

3 myths kidney patients still believe 👇.1️⃣ More water = better? Not always. 2️⃣ Calcium is bad? Only in excess. 3️⃣ Tea & meat are safe? Not if you have uric acid stones. your diet could be helping or harming your kidneys. #kidneyhealth #kidneystones #renaldiet #hydrationmatters
