Kidney Day 2025: How Sedna Hospitals Can Help You Prioritize Kidney Health
Are your kidneys silently suffering? Over 37 million adults in the US have chronic kidney disease (CKD), and many don’t even know it. World Kidney Day is a global event that happens every year, and its purpose is to raise awareness about the importance of our kidneys to our overall health. Sedna Hospitals is deeply committed to the kidney health of our communities.
This article will outline how Sedna Hospitals can help you prioritize your kidney health on Kidney Day 2025, and also provide ways to help you beyond this day.
Understanding Kidney Disease: Risks, Symptoms, and Prevention
Chronic kidney disease, also known as CKD, is a condition where the kidneys are damaged and can’t filter blood the way they should. It’s important to catch CKD early. The earlier it is detected, the better the outcomes. There are stages of CKD, from mild to severe, which can affect the treatment you will need.
Risk Factors for Kidney Disease
Several things can increase your risk of kidney disease. These include diabetes and high blood pressure. A family history of kidney problems also increases risk. As you get older, your risk goes up. Certain ethnic groups are also more likely to develop kidney disease. Diabetes, high blood pressure, and family history are all very important risk factors. They impact the way your kidneys function, sometimes doing damage over time.
Recognizing the Symptoms of Kidney Disease
Kidney disease often sneaks up on you. Symptoms may not show up until the kidneys are badly damaged. Common symptoms include fatigue, swelling in your ankles and feet, and changes in how often you urinate. You might also experience persistent itching, which is something to watch out for. Even subtle signs should prompt a visit to the doctor. Ignoring them can lead to serious problems later.
Preventative Measures for Kidney Health
Taking care of your kidneys is simpler than you think. A healthy lifestyle is key. This includes eating right, getting regular exercise, and drinking enough water. Managing your blood pressure is also important. Try to eat a diet that is low in sodium. This will help your blood pressure. All of these things will improve kidney function.

Treatment Options for Kidney Disease
If you have kidney disease, there are several ways we can help. Medication can help manage the condition. Dialysis filters your blood when your kidneys can’t. There are two types: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. A kidney transplant replaces your damaged kidney with a healthy one. Each option has pros and cons, that we can discuss together to come to the best plan for you.
