Hoan Hao General Hospital Organizes the “Understanding Kidney Disease – Eat Right – Live Healthy” Event
 

On the morning of October 9, 2026, Hoan Hao General Hospital (Kei Mei Kai Japan) organized a health event under the theme “Understanding Kidney Disease – Eat Right – Live Healthy” to raise awareness of chronic kidney disease, provide nutritional knowledge, and offer guidance on appropriate health care for patients and their families.

The program provided an opportunity for participants to speak directly with doctors and have their common questions about kidney disease care and treatment answered, helping them take a more proactive role in protecting their health.

Raising Awareness of Chronic Kidney Disease and the Importance of Treatment Monitoring

Chronic kidney disease is a condition involving kidney damage or a long-term decline in kidney function. The disease may progress silently over an extended period, making it difficult for affected individuals to recognize without appropriate health checkups.

In particular, people with hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or a family history of kidney disease should pay attention to monitoring their kidney function according to guidance from healthcare professionals.

At the event, Dr. Hà Quang Chiến, a specialist in hemodialysis with more than 11 years of experience in treating and managing patients with chronic kidney failure, shared practical knowledge about kidney disease, the importance of health monitoring, and adherence to treatment plans.

Through the doctor's presentation, participants gained additional information to better understand their condition, improve their awareness of health care, and cooperate more effectively with healthcare professionals throughout the treatment process.

Nutrition for Kidney Patients – Eating Right to Better Support Health

In addition to monitoring and treatment, appropriate nutrition plays an important role for people with chronic kidney disease. However, nutritional needs may vary depending on the stage of the disease, kidney function, and each individual's treatment method.

During the program, Dr. Trần Thị Quyên, a nutrition specialist, explained important nutritional principles and answered common questions about dietary practices for kidney patients.

The information shared helped participants better understand the importance of developing an appropriate diet, avoiding excessively restrictive diets without professional guidance, and consulting a doctor or nutrition specialist when making changes to their daily meals.

For people with chronic kidney disease, the intake of sodium, protein, potassium, phosphorus, and fluids should be individualized according to their health condition and professional recommendations, particularly for those undergoing dialysis.

Taking Proactive Steps to Care for Kidney Health Through Daily Changes
 

The central message of the event was “Understand the Disease – Eat Appropriately – Follow Treatment.”

To better care for kidney health, everyone should keep the following points in mind:

• Have regular health checkups according to healthcare professionals' guidance, especially if you have risk factors for chronic kidney disease.

• Control blood pressure and blood glucose if you have hypertension or diabetes.

• Develop a diet appropriate for your health condition.

• Use medications as prescribed and avoid taking medications or products that may affect kidney function without professional guidance.

• Follow follow-up appointment schedules and treatment plans if you have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease.

Early identification of risks, monitoring of kidney function, and maintaining appropriate lifestyle habits can help support long-term kidney health.
