Heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot supply as much blood as the body needs. With appropriate treatment and management, it is possible to maintain daily life, but if left untreated, symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling can worsen. If you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, or obesity, please see a medical specialist regularly.

A high-risk pregnancy is a pregnancy with a higher chance than usual of adversely affecting the mother and the fetus. Advanced maternal age (35 or older) is one risk factor for a high-risk pregnancy. Recognizing your own risk factors and following your medical team's guidance can help lead to a good outcome.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

#hypertension, #blood pressure, #blood pressure medication, #sodium, #arteriosclerosis, #antihypertensive drugs, #essential hypertension, #headache, #a splitting headache, #migraine, #back-of-head pain

Hypertension is a condition in which blood pressure, the force exerted on the walls of the blood vessels when the heart pumps out blood, stays persistently high; it is classified as a systolic blood pressure of 140 mmHg or higher or a diastolic blood pressure of 90 mmHg or higher. Hypertension often causes no symptoms, so it is called the "silent killer." If left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease, so evaluation by a medical specialist and steady management are needed.

Intermittent Fasting

#intermittent fasting, #diet, #weight loss, #calorie restriction, #blood sugar, #diabetes mellitus, #eating disorder, #pregnancy, #eating pattern, #anxious feeling in the chest, #restlessness, #worrying for no reason

Intermittent fasting is an eating pattern in which a person does not eat for a set period and eats only during allowed times. Short-term weight loss effects have been reported, but large-scale studies of long-term effects are still lacking. It calls for caution, or is not advisable, in certain groups such as people with diabetes mellitus, so please be sure to consult a medical specialist before starting.

Kidney cancer is a malignant tumor that develops in the kidney. There are almost no symptoms in the early stages, so it is difficult to notice on your own, and in most cases it is found incidentally during a health checkup. Even without symptoms, it is important to detect it early through regular health checkups. If an abnormal finding is detected or you have any concerns, please be sure to consult a medical specialist.

Kidney Transplant Process

#kidney transplantation, #kidney transplant, #living-donor kidney transplantation, #deceased-donor kidney transplantation, #immunosuppressants, #rejection, #end-stage kidney failure, #KONOS, #organ transplantation, #double vision, #overlapping images

Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into the body to replace a kidney that has lost its function. Unlike dialysis, it can restore most of the kidney's various functions (removing waste products, regulating electrolytes, secreting hormones that stimulate blood cell production, and others), which makes it one of the main treatment options for end-stage kidney failure. Whether and how to have a transplant depends on each patient's health condition, so please be sure to decide through consultation with a medical specialist.

Kidney Transplantation

Kidney transplantation is a surgery that transplants a healthy kidney into a patient with end-stage kidney failure, whose kidneys can no longer function properly. If the transplanted kidney functions normally, the patient may be freed from dialysis (a treatment that filters waste products from the blood using a machine), which can greatly improve quality of life. Ongoing care after surgery is very important, and please be sure to consult a medical specialist about anything related to transplantation.

Neurogenic Bladder

#neurogenic bladder, #overactive bladder, #urinary incontinence, #residual urine, #bladder function, #stroke, #Parkinson's disease, #diabetes mellitus, #urodynamic study, #clean intermittent catheterization

Neurogenic bladder is a condition in which a problem in the nervous system, such as the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, prevents the bladder from storing or emptying urine properly. Symptoms are often mild at first and easy to overlook, but without treatment, serious complications such as urinary tract infection and kidney failure can occur. If you have an underlying condition such as stroke or diabetes mellitus, please have your bladder function checked regularly.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a condition in which excess fat builds up in the liver even in people who drink little or no alcohol.

Obesity is a chronic disease in which excess body fat accumulates, and it can cause various complications, such as high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and arthritis. Under Asia-Pacific criteria, obesity is diagnosed when body mass index (BMI) is 25 kg/m² or higher, and, like high blood pressure and diabetes, it is a condition that needs lifelong management. Please consult a medical specialist before deciding on a treatment method.
