Arjun Joshi, a 58-year-old restaurant owner,...
Arjun Joshi, a 58-year-old restaurant owner, had been managing type 2 diabetes for 15 years. Over the past six months, he noticed increasing fatigue, persistent puffiness around his eyes, and a nagging feeling that something was 'off.' His primary care physician, concerned by a rising trend in his routine bloodwork, referred him to a nephrologist. The nephrologist, Dr. Sharma, explained that Arjun's serum creatinine levels were elevated, but to get a true picture of his kidney function, they needed a 24-hour creatinine clearance test. Arjun found the process cumbersome, having to collect all his urine for a full day while also getting a blood draw. He felt anxious, fearing a diagnosis that would impact his ability to run his busy family business. The test confirmed moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD Stage 3). While initially devastated, the clear diagnosis gave Arjun a path forward. With medication adjustments, strict blood pressure and sugar control, and dietary changes, his kidney function stabilized. The emotional journey shifted from fear of the unknown to a determined focus on management, empowering him to take active control of his health.
