“Living Well with Kidney Diseases

On the 2nd Thursday in the month of March we celebrate World Kidney Day to create awareness in our colleagues and society about kidney diseases.

This year the theme was ” Living Well with Kidney diseases”.

We are well aware of Pediatric kidney diseases being different from Adult kidney diseases like structural congenital anomalies, nephrotic syndrome, UTI, hemolytic uremic syndrome etc.

Timely diagnosis, treatment, prevention and follow up is all that we need to have healthy kidneys in kids.

Let us strive together to motivate children to live well with kidney diseases.”

-Dr. Amish Udani Consultant Pediatric Nephrologist B. J. Wadia Hospital for Children, Mumbai

Interesting case of medical negligence: The West Bengal Consumer Redressal Forum has passed an order stating that failure  to consult a relevant specialist by the treating doctor,  when required by the clinical status of the patient, amounts to medical negligence.

The case relates to a 55-year-old road traffic accident victim. The patient was being treated from 24-11-16 who succumbed on 18-12-16. The court has observed that a gastroenterologist, nephrologist, pulmonologist and an ENT specialist who should have been consulted, were not consulted amounting to negligence and a compensation of 10 lakhs was awarded as negligence.
