Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body. Often referred to as a “silent disease,” CKD may not show noticeable symptoms in its early stages. However, as it progresses, it can lead to serious health complications and, if untreated, may result in kidney failure.

If you’ve been diagnosed with CKD—or if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney issues—it is important to consult a kidney specialist (nephrologist) without delay. In Pune, Dr. Tushar Warke, one of the city’s leading nephrologists, offers expert care at Dr. Warke’s Renosight Kidney Clinic, helping patients manage CKD effectively at every stage.

Why Seeing a Kidney Specialist is Essential for CKD

While general physicians manage overall health, a nephrologist like Dr. Tushar Warke specializes in kidney-related disorders. With advanced training in nephrology, a kidney specialist can detect, treat, and slow the progression of CKD, helping to prevent life-threatening complications.

1. Accurate Diagnosis and Staging

CKD is divided into five stages based on kidney function, typically measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Proper diagnosis and staging are crucial in developing a targeted treatment plan.

At Renosight Clinic, Dr. Warke uses:

• Blood tests
  
  

• Urine analysis
  
  

• Imaging studies
  
  

• Kidney biopsy (if needed)
  
  

This comprehensive evaluation ensures personalized and effective care from the start.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

CKD affects each person differently. Treatment depends on the stage of the disease, its underlying causes (such as diabetes or hypertension), and the patient's overall health.

Dr. Warke develops customized treatment plans that include:

• Medications to manage blood pressure, blood sugar, anemia, and reduce protein loss in urine
  
  

• Dietary guidance through a kidney-friendly diet that limits sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and protein
  
  

• Lifestyle changes, such as weight control, regular exercise, hydration, and smoking cessation
  
  

3. Slowing Disease Progression

The main goal in CKD management is to delay or prevent progression to kidney failure. Dr. Warke focuses on:

• Controlling diabetes and hypertension
  
  

• Preventing infections and inflammation
  
  

• Avoiding medications that may harm the kidneys
  
  

• Monitoring and correcting electrolyte imbalances
  
  

Early and consistent intervention can preserve kidney function for many years.

4. Managing CKD-Related Complications

CKD can lead to several complications, including:

• Anemia (low red blood cell count)
  
  

• Bone disease due to calcium and phosphorus imbalance
  
  

• Fluid retention, which can cause swelling and high blood pressure
  
  

• Heart disease and nerve damage
  
  

Dr. Warke carefully monitors and manages these complications to maintain patient comfort and avoid hospitalizations.

5. Preparing for Advanced Stages: Dialysis and Transplant

If CKD reaches Stage 5, also known as end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), renal replacement therapy becomes necessary.

Dr. Warke assists patients and families in understanding and preparing for:

• Dialysis (hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis)
  
  

• Placement of dialysis access
  
  

• Kidney transplantation, including ABO-incompatible transplants
  
  

With over 17 years of experience, Dr. Warke is recognized for his expertise in both pre- and post-transplant care.

6. Ongoing Support and Monitoring

CKD requires lifelong care and follow-up. At Renosight Clinic, Dr. Warke provides:

• Regular monitoring of kidney function
  
  

• Adjustments to medications and diet
  
  

• Ongoing support and education for patients and their families
  
  

His patient-focused approach ensures that individuals feel confident and supported throughout their treatment journey.
