<h1>Kidney Disease Often Silent Until 90% Function Lost: Specialists Urge Early Detection and Prevention</h1> A hospital in Bangalore hosted a World Kidney Day awareness session highlighting that 'Kidneys across the country are resigning' due to neglect. Medical specialists discussed how kidney disease often remains silent until 80-90% of function is lost. Early warning signs include leg swelling after immobility, facial puffiness, and frequent nighttime urination. Diabetes and hypertension are primary causes of kidney failure. The specialists emphasized preventive measures including routine testing, hydration, and dietary modifications. For advanced cases, treatments include dialysis or transplantation, with transplants offering better outcomes. The event encouraged kidney-friendly lifestyles and regular health check-ups for approximately 50 senior citizens and dialysis patients in attendance.
