Patient Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions about your kidney health or treatment? Our team is here to help.

Ask Our Team

What function do the kidneys provide in the body?

The kidneys filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood to produce urine. They also play a critical role in regulating blood pressure, maintaining electrolyte balance, producing hormones that stimulate red blood cell production, and activating vitamin D for bone health.

What are common symptoms of kidney disease?

Common symptoms include fatigue, swelling in the ankles or legs, changes in urine output or appearance (foamy, dark, or reduced), persistent itching, nausea, loss of appetite, shortness of breath, and difficulty concentrating. Many people with early kidney disease have no symptoms, which is why regular screening is important.

Can kidney disease be prevented?

Kidney disease can often be prevented or delayed by managing underlying conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying well hydrated, avoiding excessive use of over-the-counter painkillers (NSAIDs), and attending regular health check-ups if you have known risk factors.

What is the staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD)?

CKD is classified into five stages based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), which measures how well the kidneys are filtering blood. Stages 1–2 represent mild kidney damage with near-normal function. Stages 3–4 indicate moderate to severe loss of function. Stage 5 is kidney failure, requiring dialysis or transplantation.

How frequently should kidney function be evaluated?

People with risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, a family history of kidney disease, or a history of kidney stones should have kidney function tested at least once a year. For those with established CKD, more frequent monitoring every 3–6 months is typically recommended. Your nephrologist will advise the right schedule for your situation.

Is kidney disease curable?

Whether kidney disease can be cured depends on the underlying cause. Some conditions, such as certain infections or drug-induced kidney injury, can be fully reversed with appropriate treatment. However, chronic kidney disease caused by long-standing diabetes or hypertension is generally not reversible, but can be effectively managed to slow progression and maintain quality of life.

How long does recovery from a kidney transplant take?

Most patients require 5–7 days in hospital after a kidney transplant, followed by several weeks of close outpatient monitoring. Full recovery and return to normal activities typically takes 2–3 months. Lifelong immunosuppressive medication and regular follow-up are essential to protect the transplanted kidney.

Can someone with kidney disease lead a normal life?

Yes, with the right care, treatment, and lifestyle adjustments, many people with kidney disease lead full and active lives. Early-stage CKD patients may have minimal limitations, while those on dialysis may need to schedule their day around treatment sessions. A successful kidney transplant can significantly restore quality of life.

Your Kidney Health is Our Priority.

Whether you need a routine renal check-up, are managing CKD, or require specialist dialysis or transplant care, our nephrology team is here for you.
