Kidney failures plague Delhi's youth

 

Navneet Kumar, 22, is a professional photographer who considered himself fit and healthy. He didn't have any smoking or drinking habit, but then too both his kidneys failed.
As per the health experts, youth population between the age group of 20-30 years need to be aware of there health. Even though, younger patients feel fit and fine, at any point of time they could be suffering from renal and multi-organ failure with reasons unknown to doctors.
This type of health hazard is known as idiopathy in which doctors cannot suggest any cause of the disease. Doctors say that this is more common is urban areas and the trend is increasing.
Dr Anup Kumar, head of renal transplant department at Safdarjung Hospital said, "These days we are witnessing slew of patients suffering with kidney aliments in which patients do not have any history of smoking, drinking alcohol, hypertension and diabetes. Medically, we call it idiopathy and change in lifestyle, poor eating habits and continuous exposure to the toxins (air & water pollution) are the attributing factors to it."
"At Safdarjung Hospital, about 40 per cent of kidney patients are having complication due to idiopathy. Navneet (a patient) had multi-organ failure issues. But we managed to save his life. He is now recovering well after kidney transplant," said Dr Kumar.
Amit Kumar, Navneet's brother said, "My younger brother absolutely well in his life. It is for the past one year, he started having a swelled face and other health complications. When we investigated, it was found that his both kidneys were damaged. He was on dialysis for the last six months but after the kidney transplant, he is doing well."
Dr Sanjeev Bagai, Padma Shree and Senior Consultant, Paediatric nephrologist, Dwarka Manipal Hospital said that incidents of kidney failure due to idiopathy have reportedly increased.
"The reason could be untreated pyelonephritis in childhood which shoots up in the adulthood. Also, Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD's) and poor lifestyle have contributed to more than 60 per cent of the global deaths. If not controlled and prevented, it can put lives into major threat."
