Around 10% of the world's population suffers from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), said a nephrology expert.

Advising patients the correct diet and asking them to steer clear of salts, Dr. Gupta said that dialysis can help older CKD patients, while younger sufferers can opt for kidney transplant, with the number of successful transplants growing every year. The doctor said, "Choose and prepare foods with less salt and sodium. Eat the right amount and right types of proteins. Choose foods which are healthy for your heart. Eat foods with less phosphorus and the right amount of potassium."
The participants at the function were also briefed about the kidney transplant procedure.
