Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which vitamins are essential for hair growth and preventing hair loss

    Iron and zinc are among the most important nutrients for healthy hair growth. However, hair loss is not always caused by vitamin deficiency. It may result from other underlying conditions, which is why consulting a doctor and undergoing the necessary check-ups and tests is essential. If no medical cause is found, the appropriate type of vitamin supplement can then be recommended to support hair health.

  • Which tests show kidney function, and how often should they be done?

    Kidney function is assessed through a combination of blood and urine tests, including Complete Blood Count (CBC), Urea (BUN), Creatinine, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Phosphorus, and Parathyroid Hormone (PTH). In addition to these tests, kidney efficiency is often calculated using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a formula that takes into account the patient’s age and weight. When it is necessary to determine the appropriate time to start dialysis, a nuclear scan performed at a specialized radiology center may be recommended to provide a more precise evaluation of kidney performance.

  • Is drinking a lot of water harmful in cases of kidney failure

    In kidney failure, excess fluids tend to accumulate in the body, so patients are advised not to drink large amounts of water without guidance. The general rule is to monitor urine output: during winter, fluid intake should roughly equal the amount of urine passed, while in summer, patients can add about two to two and a half extra cups to compensate for fluid loss through sweating. These fluids may include water, tea, or light herbal drinks such as mint or anise.

  • Do heart problems affect the kidneys ?

    Yes. The heart functions as a pump that supplies blood to the entire body, and the kidneys receive about 20% of this blood flow. When the heart cannot pump efficiently—such as in cases of uncontrolled high blood pressure—it gradually weakens. As a result, fluid begins to accumulate in the body, leading to swelling, which in turn puts stress on the kidneys and may cause kidney failure. In such cases, it is accurate to say that the heart condition directly led to kidney problems.
