Financially Unstable Patients rely Heavily on Charity Hospitals.

Charity hospitals, the last ray of hope for financially unstable patients. Vulnerable fraternity have set their eyes on charitable groups and hospitals. The inefficacy and unaffordability of private hospitals is the reason for dissatisfaction of the patients in need.

This uncertainty of nature is still not a valid reason for thousands of people in excruciating pain. A lot of NGO’s and charity hospitals demonstrating unflagging efforts and providing venerable fraternity with suitable health-care solutions. Various renowned names have made a house in patients in patient’s heart by providing them adequate treatment for their illness.

Raise in CKD, Inadequate Kidney Treatment

Inadequate kidney treatment for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) is more like, neglecting a patient on death bed. Almost 10 % of world’s population is affected by CKD and needs proper treatment for escaping this globally faced crisis. Taking Pakistan in consideration almost 25 million patients are facing conditions, out of which 19% of those patients are in Punjab. Patients suffering from diabetes or high blood pressure are prone to CKD, therefore the government of Pakistan has initiated to spread awareness among young generation by asking them to amend their diet plans, replacing idle living with an active and healthy lifestyle. kidney diseases are harmful but often treatable if taken in count timely.

Cause Of CKD

High blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes are likely to be causes of chronic kidney disease. Sometimes CKD is inherited or the result of the long-lasting impasse to the urinary system such as enlarged prostate or kidney stones can also cause CKD. Many of the patients are unaware of poor functioning of their kidney, at the early stage because of mysterious behavior of not showing any visible symptoms. Taking precautionary measures one should visit authorized laboratories intended for getting urinary and blood check-ups for pre-recognition of disease related to the kidney. Pain killers can cause CKD (chronic kidney disease), especially (analgesic) if used for a long-time period. Taking control of obesity and hypertension reduces probabilities of getting involved in CKD (chronic kidney disease).

How to Treat CKD

There are different diseases of the kidney that require dissimilar treatment. Suppose if a patient’s kidney isn’t purifying the waste substance and blood then a patient is said to be on dialysis treatment. In the case of kidney failure, the process of replacing injured kidney with the healthy one is called kidney transplant and it’s the only way out. This can only be done when patient’s loved ones can’t see them in pain and agree to donate one of their kidneys to the patient. Agreement with a relative donor is very significant because selling or purchasing of human body organs is highly unlawful in Pakistan. Any unauthorized doctor or person found guilty in trading human organs or even if just involved in arranging a volunteer to remove their organs illegally are assured to be punished under (the transplantation of human organs and tissue act 2010), the penalty can be Rs. 1,000,000(0ne million) and serving 10 years in prison.

Dialysis Treatment

Healthy kidneys clean blood and remove fluid in the form of urine. Kidneys produce required substances that keep our body healthy. Dialysis replaces the blood cleaning process when kidneys no longer work on their own. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

Hemodialysis

Type of dialysis in which blood is pumped out of the body with the help of dialysis machine, purified and then it's sent back, no doubt it’s a painful process. The annual cost of one person reaches almost 2,00000 that appears unaffordable. This process takes 3 to 5 hours and has to be done 3 to 2 times a week, hemodialysis can be performed at home for the ease of patient. Affordability of renal diseases treatment is playing havoc on patients, inadequate resources lead to fatal results and cause the demise of hope in patients suffering from CKD.

 

Peritoneal Dialysis

The particular type of dialysis works on the same principle as of hemodialysis, the only dissimilarity that exists is in the procedure. Purification of blood takes place within the body unlike hemodialysis, its expenses are more than hemodialysis and its availability is still scarce even in some of the best hospitals in Pakistan.

Free Dialysis: A Bliss for Financially Unstable Patients

Provision of free dialysis centre to financially unstable renal patients is like a thirst quenching sip of person dying due to scarcity of water. In Pakistan, several trusts are working for betterment of renal impairments faced by individuals. Bilqees Sarwar Hospital is one of those hospitals which leaves no doubt about perfection in medical surgeries with 50 dialysis chairs it is the largest dialysis facility across Punjab Pakistan. Honored for treating 7500 renal patients per month and 11471 Dialysis Treatments since June 2016.

Lack of Awareness About Kidney Treatment

A large numeral of Pakistan’s population is still in the dungeons of illiteracy, neither having adequate sources nor enough knowledge about kidney treatment to sustain poor kidney conditions which leads to immense harm. The need of this time is created Maximum cognizance in the generation to prevent it from having CKD. The initial step is to eat healthily, amend unhealthy lifestyle and replace it with an active and healthy lifestyle more precisely change in eating habit as mentioned above, obesity is one major cause of CKD and reason for the increase in kidney patients. Awareness programs on kidney treatment can play pivotal role in minimizing the effect of CKD in Pakistan.
