‘Kidney disease progresses silently but can be treated if detected early’

Highlighting that kidney diseases often progress without obvious symptoms but are effectively manageable if diagnosed early, Dr. Bhaskar Rao, Chairman and Managing Director of KIMS Group of Hospitals, called for greater public vigilance and regular health check-ups.

“Changing lifestyles are contributing to a rise in chronic illnesses, and conditions like diabetes are now being diagnosed even in children,” Dr. Rao said, stressing the importance of routine health screening.

Dr. Ankita Chawla, Medical Director of KIMS Gachibowli, said that the hospital was playing an active role in community outreach through the dedicated Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) clinic.
