PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN FOR HEALTHY KIDNEYS

INCREASE FLUID INTAKE: Drinking adequate fluids helps the kidneys eliminate excess sodium, toxins, and urea from the body. Around four to five litres of fluids daily will reduce the risk of impaired Kidney function.

MANAGE BLOOD PRESSURE: High blood pressure is known to be a major risk factor for heart failure or stroke. Lifestyle changes make a lot of difference in keeping your blood pressure levels within normal range. Limiting excess salt diet also reduces your risk of developing high blood pressure.

EAT HEALTHY: Eating a balanced diet provides various nutrients that keep you healthy. A diet including fruits, vegetables, low-fat products, low salt and added sugars prevents many chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease which ultimately affect the kidneys.

PROCEDURES

Intravenous Pyelogram: An Intravenous Pyelogram is an X-ray examination used to evaluate the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder. The procedure uses an iodinated contrast medium which is injected into the veins and the X-rays were obtained to view the abnormalities. It is used to diagnose problems such as Kidney stones, enlarged prostate, congenital anomalies, scarring from UTI, and tumours in the kidney, ureter and urinary bladder.

During the examination, a contrast material is injected through the vein in the arm. As the contrast material passes through the kidney, ureter, and urinary bladder, the X-rays were taken to determine the abnormalities in the kidneys, and other parts of the Urinary Tract.
