Assess Your Risk of Kidney Disease

Understanding your risk of kidney disease, especially Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), is crucial as it is an often silent condition that can progress unnoticed until it reaches an advanced stage, where treatment options become limited and costly. Early identification of CKD risk is vital for taking preventive actions, improving outcomes, and reducing the financial burden associated with long-term kidney disease management.

Megastar’s Risk of Kidney Disease Assessment tool provides a personalized evaluation to help you understand your risk and take proactive steps for kidney health.

Risk of Kidney Disease

Growing Burden of Kidney Disease…

  1. Prevalence: CKD affects about 17% of the Indian adult population, with rates increasing due to rising incidences of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and unhealthy lifestyle habits. Most individuals are unaware of their condition until it reaches an advanced stage, where treatment becomes more complex and expensive.
  2. Key Risk Factors:
    • Diabetes: Accounts for 40% of kidney failure cases.
    • Hypertension: Damages kidney blood vessels, impairing function.
    • Other Risks: Obesity, cardiovascular disease, smoking, NSAID overuse, and family history.

Comprehensive Risk Assessment for CKD

Our tool evaluates:

    1. Lifestyle Factors: Diet, activity levels, smoking, and NSAID use.
    2. Medical History: Diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or obesity.
    3. Blood Tests & Biomarkers: Serum creatinine, eGFR, blood glucose, and urinary protein.
    4. Algorithm-Based Risk Scoring: Stratifies risk as low, moderate, or high to guide prevention.

Tailored Preventive Measures…

Based on your risk score, the system offers personalized recommendations to help reduce your risk of Kidney Disease:
  1. Lifestyle Modifications
    • Dietary Adjustments: Reducing salt, sugar, and protein intake, increasing fluid consumption, and adopting a balanced diet to ease the kidneys’ workload.
    • Exercise: Regular physical activity to maintain a healthy weight and improve overall metabolic health.
    • Avoiding Overuse of Painkillers: Limiting the use pain medications (NSAIDs), which can damage the kidneys when used excessively.
  2. Regular Monitoring: For those at moderate to high risk with regular blood pressure checks, blood glucose monitoring, and kidney function tests (eGFR, urine albumin) to detect early signs of kidney damage.
  3. Medical Follow-Up: High-risk individuals receive recommendations for consultations with a nephrologist for early intervention and personalized management plans.

Continuous Monitoring and Progress Tracking…

  1. Routine Re-Evaluation: Your risk of kidney disease is re-assessed every six months to a year to monitor changes in your health status and the effectiveness of interventions. Regular monitoring enables timely adjustments to your health management strategy.
  2. Trend Analysis: The system tracks kidney health markers over time, allowing you to visualize how lifestyle changes and medical treatments impact your kidney function and risk status.

Economic Impact of Kidney Disease…

  1. Treatment Costs of Advanced CKD: Managing CKD, especially in its later stages, involves substantial healthcare expenses:
    • Dialysis and Transplantation
    • Chronic Medication
  2. Long-Term Monitoring Costs
  3. Indirect Costs
    • Lost Income in missed workdays and lost wages.
    • Disability Costs
  4. Quality of Life.

Preventive Value: Early identification of risk of kidney disease and timely interventions can help prevent or delay the progression to advanced stages thereby reducing potential health and financial burdens.

Why Early Detection Matter…

Early Action, Lifelong Protection: Safeguard Your Health and Future.
  1. Proactive Care: Identifying your risk for CKD early allows you to take preventative actions, potentially slowing or halting the progression of kidney damage.
  2. Cost-Effective: By avoiding the complications and advanced treatments associated with CKD, you can minimize both direct medical costs and indirect financial burdens, preserving your health and financial stability.
