Is kidney disease fatal?

My grandmother has had mild kidney issues for a decade and she is still active and happy. It is all about managing your sugar and BP levels. Don't worry too much, just keep a check on her health.

I had severe kidney strain due to some wrong medication recently, and my levels went crazy. But with prompt treatment from a good nephrologist, I recovered completely. It is not fatal if you act quickly and get the right help.

Please don't take any swelling in your feet or tiredness lightly. I ignored my symptoms for a year thinking it was just work stress, and now my kidneys are permanently damaged. Get your blood and urine tests done immediately.

No, it is not fatal if you nurture your body with care. Gentle yoga, drinking enough pure water, and a simple home-cooked diet can work wonders. Keep your thoughts positive and trust the healing power of nature.

I know how terrifying it is to read about these things online, I couldn't sleep for days when we found out. But please know that with dialysis and modern transplants, even advanced kidney disease is highly treatable now.
