Part 2: Close Up Radio Welcomes Back Prince Singh of Kidney Solutions

Hermantown, MN – Dr. Prince Singh is a highly sought after kidney disease specialist and the founder of Kidney Solutions Pro LLC.  Dr. Singh is trained in general nephrology (Mayo Clinic, MN) and transplant nephrology (Duke University) with a background training in Internal Medicine.

As a nephrologist, Dr. Singh can diagnose and treat kidney disease and if needed.

Kidneys as an organ are primarily responsible for cleaning your blood by filtering out unwanted and excesses substances. Kidney disease is defined as any kidney condition that can interfere with the function of the kidney. It ranges from chronic kidney disease, kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidney disease, and urinary tract infection.

According to Dr. Singh, diabetes and high blood pressure are among the leading causes of kidney disease among other causes such as kidney stones, chronic use of pain killers (NSAIDs) and autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Singh urges us to take proactive steps to protect our kidneys. Some important tips include drinking plenty of water, avoiding chronic use of NSAIDs (Aleve, ibuprofen, Advil), controlling your diabetes and high blood pressure among other things.

If kidney disease gets worse over time, your kidneys may stop working completely and at that point dialysis will be required to perform the function of the kidneys.  Dialysis cannot cure kidney disease, but it can prolong your life. In some cases, a kidney transplant may be recommended. 

Hope is on the horizon for treating chronic kidney disease as new drugs emerge where people may be able to delay dialysis or kidney transplants.
