Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney failure are conditions that require long-term management and care. Patients with kidney disease face not only the challenge of medical treatment but also lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and the emotional toll of living with a chronic condition. At Sakra World Hospital, our Renal Rehabilitation Program provides a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to managing kidney health, improving quality of life, and helping patients navigate the complexities of kidney disease.

Our renal rehabilitation program is designed to offer personalized care that supports both the physical and emotional aspects of kidney disease recovery, whether patients are in the early stages of CKD or managing end-stage renal failure.

What is Renal Rehabilitation?

Renal rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary approach to managing kidney disease, focusing on improving the overall health and well-being of patients. This program involves a combination of medical care, nutritional counseling, exercise, psychological support, and education to help patients manage their condition, slow the progression of kidney disease, and enhance their quality of life.

The goal of renal rehabilitation is not only to manage the disease but also to help patients achieve better physical functioning, maintain independence, and prevent or delay the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Key Components of Renal Rehabilitation

• Exercise and Physical Activity: We design individualized exercise programs to improve strength, mobility, and endurance, benefiting cardiovascular health, controlling blood pressure, and reducing fatigue.
• Nutritional Counseling: Our dietitians create personalized meal plans to manage fluid, sodium, potassium, and protein intake, helping control blood pressure and slow kidney disease progression.
• Patient Education: We educate patients on managing kidney disease, monitoring health, and making informed treatment decisions, helping them maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid complications.
• Psychological Support: Our psychologists provide counseling and stress management techniques to help patients cope with the emotional challenges of living with kidney disease.
• Blood Pressure and Diabetes Management: Effective management of high blood pressure and diabetes is crucial in slowing kidney disease progression. We provide regular monitoring and support for managing these conditions.
• Dialysis and Pre-Dialysis Care: For patients on or approaching dialysis, we provide support and education to manage treatment and maintain a good quality of life during this phase.
