Raising Awareness about Renal Health
Understanding Kidney Health
The primary goal of the camp was to educate the public about the importance of renal health. Attendees learned about various factors that can damage kidneys, including diabetes, hypertension, and other underlying diseases.
Symptoms and Treatments
The camp provided crucial information on recognizing symptoms of kidney issues and the available treatments. This knowledge is vital for early detection and effective management of kidney diseases.
Lifestyle Modifications
Participants were also informed about necessary lifestyle modifications to maintain kidney health. These changes include dietary adjustments, regular exercise, and monitoring blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
Highlighting TKI’s Role and Services
Scope and Expertise
The camp emphasized the scope of TKI and its role in providing top-notch renal healthcare services in Pakistan. As a leading institute, TKI is dedicated to offering the best care and treatment options for kidney-related issues.
Kidney Stone Procedures
One of the significant myths addressed during the event was the misconception about kidney stone removal. Many believe that it requires major surgery and prolonged bed rest. However, TKI specializes in minimally invasive procedures, often performing kidney stone removals through a mere pinhole incision. This approach allows patients to be discharged the same day, significantly reducing recovery time.
