Kidney disease is often called a silent disease because it can progress without obvious symptoms. So how do you know if your kidneys are actually healthy? In this episode of Kidney Connect India, Dr. Modi discusses some of the biggest misconceptions around kidney disease and explains why timely screening can play an important role in protecting kidney health. The conversation explores who may be at higher risk, including people with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, a family history of kidney disease, recurrent kidney infections or stones, and those frequently taking certain medications. Dr. Modi also addresses common questions around water intake and kidney health, misinformation and viral “kidney cures” on social media, and why treatment and lifestyle advice need to be individualised. The discussion further explains the importance of basic kidney tests such as urine protein and blood creatinine, how early-to-moderate kidney disease may be managed to slow its progression, and when dialysis or kidney transplantation may become necessary in advanced disease. Watch the full conversation to understand why awareness, lifestyle modification and regular screening are critical to protecting kidney health. #KidneyConnectIndia #KidneyHealth #KidneyDisease #CKD #Diabetes #Hypertension #KidneyScreening #Dialysis #KidneyTransplant
