Kidney Failure Treatment in Tashkent at the Vakhidov Center
Kidney failure is a severe pathological condition in which the kidneys partially or completely lose their ability to perform their natural functions: filtering blood, removing toxins, and maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance. The Academician V.Vakhidov Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center of Surgery offers a comprehensive and highly tech-advanced approach to the treatment of acute and chronic kidney disease (CKD) at any stage.
Symptoms of Kidney Failure
In the early stages, the disease often progresses asymptomatically. However, as kidney function deteriorates, patients develop the following clinical signs:
Pronounced swelling of the face, legs, and ankles;
Chronic fatigue, general weakness, and lethargy;
Changes in the volume and color of urine;
High blood pressure that is difficult to manage with medication;
Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
Diagnostics at Our Center
To accurately assess the condition of the kidneys, the Vakhidov Center uses advanced expert-class diagnostic equipment. Patients are prescribed a complex of studies:
Laboratory Tests: determination of creatinine and urea levels, as well as the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of the blood;
Ultrasound of the Kidneys and Vessels: evaluation of the organ's size and renal blood flow;
MSCT (Multispiral Computed Tomography): detailed visualization of the kidney structure to exclude tumors or stones.
Modern Treatment Methods
The choice of treatment method depends entirely on the stage and form of the disease:
Conservative Therapy: medical treatment aimed at slowing the progression of the disease and controlling blood pressure.
Renal Replacement Therapy: performing hemodialysis procedures on modern "artificial kidney" machines.
Kidney Transplantation: the most effective method for radical treatment of terminal-stage CKD. Our center successfully performs related living-donor kidney transplant operations, returning patients to a full and healthy life.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can chronic kidney failure be completely cured?
The chronic form (CKD) is irreversible; however, properly selected therapy at the Vakhidov Center significantly slows down the progression of the disease. At the terminal stage, the best solution is a kidney transplant.
2. How often is it necessary to undergo a hemodialysis procedure?
The schedule of hemodialysis procedures is selected individually by a nephrologist. Typically, patients require 3 sessions per week, each lasting about 4 hours.
3. What are the advantages of undergoing a kidney transplant at the Vakhidov Center?
Our center has long-term experience and advanced surgical technologies in the field of transplantation. We ensure full safety for the living donor and high organ survival rates for the recipient.
