Ludhiana, March 13, 2025: On the occasion of World Kidney Day 2025, renowned nephrologist and kidney transplant specialist Dr. Rajan Isaacs, founder of Deepak Kidney Care Centre, emphasized the urgent need for early detection and prevention of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD).

With nearly 850 million people worldwide affected by CKD, the disease is a growing health challenge. If left undetected, CKD can progress silently to kidney failure, leading to severe health complications and premature death.

"Kidney disease often remains unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage. Simple tests like Serum Creatinine, eGFR (Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate), and Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (uACR) can help detect kidney disease early and prevent further complications," said Dr. Isaacs.

8 Golden Rules for Kidney Health

During the awareness campaign, Dr. Isaacs shared practical tips for maintaining kidney health:

Stay physically active

Monitor and manage blood sugar levels

Stay hydrated

Limit alcohol consumption

Eat a balanced, low-salt diet

Regularly check blood pressure

Avoid smoking

Use painkillers cautiously

Who Should Get Tested?

Dr. Isaacs urged those at high risk of kidney disease to undergo regular health screenings, especially individuals with:

Diabetes

High blood pressure

Cardiovascular disease

Obesity

Family history of kidney disease

Other risk factors include acute kidney injury, autoimmune diseases, pregnancy-related kidney disease, and frequent kidney stones.

Simple Tests for Early Detection

High-risk individuals can detect kidney disease early through:

Blood Pressure Monitoring

Body Mass Index (BMI) Check

Urine Test for Albumin (uACR)

Blood Tests for Serum Creatinine and eGFR

Blood Sugar Testing

Community Initiatives

As part of the campaign, Deepak Kidney Care Centre will offer free kidney health check-ups and public awareness sessions to promote early detection and healthy habits.

"By raising awareness and encouraging timely testing, we can help prevent kidney disease and improve lives," added Dr. Isaacs.

Take Charge of Your Kidney Health

Dr. Isaacs encourages everyone to prioritize their kidney health by:

Learning about risk factors

Getting tested if at risk

Following a healthy lifestyle
