Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers to the most common questions about Astra Super Speciality Hospital, services provided by us and how we can help you with your health needs.
What are the early signs of kidney disease I shouldn’t ignore?
Early symptoms include swelling in the feet or face, foamy urine, fatigue, loss of appetite, and high blood pressure. Early screening with blood and urine tests is key.
How often should dialysis be done if kidneys are not working?
Most patients require dialysis 2–3 times per week depending on kidney function, lab values, fluid levels, and overall health. Your nephrologist will set the ideal frequency.
Can chronic kidney disease be reversed or stopped?
CKD cannot usually be reversed, but with early diagnosis, lifestyle changes, and proper treatment, its progression can be slowed, and complications can be minimized.
What foods should be avoided in kidney disease?
Patients with kidney issues should limit sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and high-protein foods. Your nephrologist or renal dietitian will give you a personalized diet plan.
What’s the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?
Hemodialysis filters your blood through a machine, usually at a center. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen and can be done at home. Each has pros and cons based on your condition and lifestyle.
