Mangsa Hari Ini Dan Seterusnya - Berhenti daripada terlalu percayakan “Supplement Magic”

Sesiapa pun di kalangan kita apabila diberikan ‘janji manis’ dan harapan - walaupun kita sedar ia mustahil, tetapi kerana tiada pengetahuan dan panduan kita ‘merelakan’ diri ditipu dengan janji-janji kosong yang ditaburkan..

Kelmarin seorang pesakit baru saya, setelah berhabisan puluhan ribu ringgit.. akhirnya sedar bahawa usaha nya sia2x dan ubatan yang kononnya tiada bahan kimia hakikatnya antara penyumbang kepada kerosakan buah pinggangnya..

Yang lebih menyedihkan wang simpanan habis dibelanjakan, hasilnya tetap sama malah kerosakan buah pinggang makin serius.. dan kini tidak mampu untuk rawatan susulan dengan pakar buah pinggang di pusat perubatan swasta. Kes terpaksa dirujuk ke hospital kerajaan, temujanji terdekat 1 bulan lagi.. dan bantuan zakat perlu dipohon untuk menampung rawatan dialisis yang bakal diperlukan 1-2 minggu lagi.

Berhati-hatilah, ramai di luar sana yang ingin meraih keuntungan dan mengambil kesempatan dari anda. Cuma kami sahaja Pakar-pakar buah pinggang ini yang tak pandai ‘berniaga’..

Yang menariknya mereka, penjual jamu, ubatan supplement ini tidak seperti kami yang terdedah kepada tindakan undang-undang jika rawatan yang diberikan tidak memberikan hasil yang dijangkakan pesakit. Kami dengan mudah boleh disaman jika berlaku sesuatu yang semestinya tidak pernah kami ‘hajatkan’.

Bila saya lontarkan soalan, “Taknak ambil tindakan ?, tuan saya rasa sudah tertipu”.. jawapannya.. “kita redha Doktor”..

Tetapi jika doktor katakan ubatan yang diberikan dan diambil ikut peraturan boleh elak komplikasi kerosakan buah pinggang.. jawabnya..”Owh ubat hospital banyak guna bahan kimia, rosak buah pinggang, baik ambil jamu, lagi natural“..

Saya pun tak mampu untuk berkata apa apa lagi..

”The Ageing Kidney” - What is our preparation?

The Ageing Kidney: My personal opinion as practising Nephrologist

As a nephrologist, I have witnessed first-hand the profound interplay between ageing and kidney health. With our nation's rapidly ageing population, understanding the ageing kidney has never been more paramount. What matters now .. how much have we done in preparing our nation toward this ”soon booming geriatric population”??

According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, by 2040, 15% of our population will be aged 65 and above, up from 6% in 2019. This demographic shift brings with it a surge in age-associated health challenges. Chronic Kidney Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke.. (*the long lists continue..)

Ageing is an inevitable process, and as the years roll by, our kidneys, like every other organ, naturally undergo structural and functional changes. These alterations, combined with the rising incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and other co-morbidities among Malaysians, elevate the risk of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) in our senior population.

In addition to the chronic non communicable disease, a genetic hereditary condition such as polycystic kidney disease makes it even more complicated.. its also common to have ‘emerging new cysts formation in the elderly kidneys’

While the ageing kidney may show reduced renal function, it's important to discern between natural ageing and CKD. A 70-year-old might present with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) that's lower than a 30-year-old, but this doesn't necessarily indicate disease. As nephrologist, often i had difficult and challenging times explaining this so called ‘natural ageing degenerative condition of the kidneys”. We need strategies to employ tailored approach or techniques or strategies, whatever we call it… to cater these older demographics, ensuring they maintain ‘optimal kidney health’ as they age.

Malaysia's ageing population presents both challenges and opportunities. Through continued research, awareness campaigns, and holistic care approaches, we can better address the needs of our elderly, ensuring they enjoy their golden years with the health and vitality they deserve. Let's work together, and pave the way for a healthier future for all Malaysians. Anyone willing to support this effort? Again are we as a nation ready for this? Are we ready for this?
