Introduction
The ability of kidneys to remove waste products from blood diminishes thus causing serious kidney failure. The condition emerges immediately or through persistent development before causing major health complications. Early diagnosis of kidney disease becomes crucial because people should identify symptoms which include swelling combined with fatigue and decreased urine production. The diagnosis and management of kidney disorders falls under nephrologic expertise which leads to proper healthcare for patients. People with chronic kidney disease need to change their lifestyle and take medications as a treatment plan because some patients need dialysis or a transplant. The input from a nephrologist identifies which treatment solution is most appropriate. Knowledge about kidney disease symptoms helps protect kidney health so that treatment of chronic kidney disease results in improved life quality. A person needs to schedule regular appointments with their nephrologist to manage kidney disease symptoms effectively.

Treatment Options
-
Symptoms of the early stage of kidney disease can often be managed with medications, nutritional changes, and frequent visits to health care professionals. The medications to control high blood pressure and high diabetes (and others) are recommended by a nephrologist.
-
Dialysis: Common treatment for all kinds of chronic kidney disease (CKD), including failure of the kidneys; dialysis helps (by machines) the kidneys to remove the wastes and excess fluids. There are two types:
-
Hemodialysis is done in a hospital or dialysis center; a machine filters the blood.
-
Peritoneal Dialysis: dialysis is performed in the home using the peritoneum (tissue in the abdomen) as a natural filter.
-
A kidney transplant is the best chronic kidney disease treatment; the failed kidney is replaced by a healthy donor kidney. The donor compatibility is evaluated by a nephrologist and their recovery post-surgery is also monitored.
-
Nutritional Therapy – A proper diet helps control the symptoms of kidney disease such as controlling fluid retention, blood sugar, and electrolyte level. A low sodium, low protein diet may be suggested by a nephrologist.
-
Palliative care: For patients who cannot receive dialysis or transplantation, palliative care aims to control kidney disease symptoms for a good quality of life.
-
Frequent check-ups with a nephrologist are important to monitor kidney function to make some changes to treatment of the chronic kidney disease and help prevent complications.
-
The treatment that is right for the patient depends on his or her condition, personal preference, and the advice of an appropriately qualified nephrologist.
