Kidney failures
have doubled in last 15 years in India: Doctors
New Delhi: If health experts are to be
believed, the number of Indians suffering from kidney failures has doubled in
the last one and a half decade. The number of Indians suffering from various
types of kidney ailments and undergoing dialysis has seen a rapid rise of 10 %.
Doctors have also mentioned that the
citizens of India are more susceptible to chronic kidney diseases and
therefore, they should take extra precautions. An approximate estimation of
75,000 patients has been made who are on dialysis and the number is only
growing each day.
Diabetes is believed to be the most
common cause for kidney failures and with it's exponential growth, the number
of kidney patients is likely to rise.
The
health ministry has also jumped in and admitted that it is a serious concern
for the country. They have also thought about setting up 2,000 new dialysis
centres within next couple of years to address the problem.
