– Nephrology is the most difficult in the field of therapy. I am interested in the diagnosis and treatment of glomerular diseases, says the nephrologist of the 3rd surgical department of the National Hospital Zarina Almabaeva. Zarina Yerzhanovna is a graduate of the Kazakh National Medical University named after S.Zh. Asfendiyarov. Since 2019, he has been working in a hospital with a 95-year history.
According to the doctor, currently one in ten people in the world suffers from chronic kidney disease. Kidney failure also increases from year to year. The main causes are diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, glomerular diseases, medicines, urolithiasis, etc.
– To prevent kidney disease, an adult needs to consume 3 liters of pure still water per day. You should monitor the level of sugar in the blood and blood pressure, abandon drugs harmful to the kidneys (especially painkillers), says Zarina Almabaeva.
Also, a nephrologist advises to stop drinking water 2 hours before bedtime. Carbonated sugary drinks lead to many diseases, so do not get carried away. To control kidney function, it is advisable to undergo an examination 1 once a year. It is necessary to pass a complete blood count, urine, check the level of creatinine, urea, glucose, cholesterol, total protein in the blood, and conduct an ultrasound examination of the kidneys. In addition, patients with diabetes or hypertension must control blood pressure and blood sugar, says nephrologist Zarina Yerzhanovna.
