@dramitabhkulkarni: Starting dialysis does not mean the health risks associated with kidney failure are over. For people on dialysis, heart disease is a major concern. Kidney failure can put additional stress on the cardiovascular system through fluid overload, blood pressure problems, mineral imbalance, anaemia and chronic inflammation. In this video, we explain: ✔️Why kidney failure puts additional strain on the heart ✔️How excess fluid affects blood pressure and the heart ✔️Why calcium and phosphorus imbalance matters ✔️How blood vessel calcification can increase cardiovascular risk ✔️The role of anaemia and chronic inflammation ✔️Why controlling fluid and blood pressure between dialysis sessions matters ✔️Why cardiovascular care should be part of dialysis care Dialysis manages some of the functions normally performed by the kidneys, but patients still need comprehensive care to protect their heart. If you or a family member is on dialysis, this is an important conversation to have with your nephrology and cardiology teams. 📲 Connect: 🌐 Website: www.dramitabhkulkarni.com 📧 Email: [email protected] 📸 Instagram: www.instagram.com/dramitabhkulkarni 💼 LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/amitabh-kulkarni-b92a2937/ 💡 Like, Share & Subscribe for more expert-led health insights! #Dialysis​ #HeartDisease​ #KidneyFailure​ #KidneyDisease​ #CKD​​
