Kidney diseases cover urological and nephrological problems that affect the kidneys' filtering, balancing and waste-removal functions. These conditions can be acute or chronic, and can lead to serious health problems if not recognized early.
Symptoms such as low back pain, changes in urine output, blood in the urine, swelling, high blood pressure and fatigue can be warning signs of kidney disease. Since symptoms are not always obvious, regular check-ups are very important.
Diagnosing kidney disease begins with a detailed patient history and physical examination. Blood and urine tests assess kidney function, while ultrasonography and, when necessary, advanced imaging examine the structure of the kidneys in detail.
This evaluation process ensures the correct determination of the disease's type and stage, guiding treatment planning.
Treatment of kidney disease is planned according to its cause, severity and the patient's general health. In some cases medical treatment and lifestyle changes are enough, while advanced cases may require interventional or surgical treatment.
The main goal of the treatment process is to preserve kidney function, slow the progression of the disease and improve the patient's quality of life. Individual evaluation is the basis for each patient.
Patients are followed with regular check-ups after treatment. The course of the disease is monitored by evaluating kidney function tests, imaging results and clinical findings. The treatment plan may be updated when necessary.
The goal is to protect kidney health in the long term and prevent possible complications.
