💧 Dialysis doesn’t mean the end, and it isn’t always permanent! 💪

Many people think starting dialysis means there’s no turning back. But, that’s not always true. With the right medical care, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing monitoring, some patients may be able to come off dialysis when their kidney function improves. 🙌

Hear from Dr. Michelle Kao, our Consultant Nephrologist & General Physician, as she sheds light on this often-asked question and clears up common misconceptions about dialysis.

I’m excited to be joining my fellow colleagues as one of the presenters at this weekend's GP CME – “Final Pathways of Diabetes: Can We Prevent Them?” happening 11 October 2025 (Saturday), at Ascott Gurney Penang.

I’ll be sharing on two key topics:
💡 “Kidneys Under Siege: CKD as a Terminal Pathway of Diabetes”
💡 “Spot, Stabilize, Refer: A Practical Approach to Managing Hyperkalemia”

It’s going to be an insightful afternoon of learning and exchange with our GP community.
Looking forward to seeing all who have registered—see you there! 👋

💧 Keep Your Kidneys Healthy with Water!

Did you know your kidneys act as natural filters for your body? Staying hydrated helps them flush out waste, balance minerals, and keep you feeling your best.

✅ Aim for 6–8 glasses daily
✅ Drink more during hot weather or when unwell
✅ Watch your urine colour – pale yellow means good hydration

Small steps today can protect your kidney health tomorrow. 🫀✨

💧 “Doctor, is it true that drinking lots of water protects your kidneys?”

Dr. Michelle Kao Pei Ching, our Consultant Nephrologist & General Physician, shared her expert insight:

Yes, water helps, but more isn’t always better. Staying hydrated supports kidney function and helps prevent kidney stones. However, if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis, fluid intake should follow your doctor’s advice.
