Will a brace cure scoliosis?
No. Bracing helps prevent the curve from worsening during growth but doesn’t reverse the curve.
What are the complications of untreated AKI?
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or kidney failure. Fluid overload, causing heart and lung complications. Electrolyte imbalances, leading to dangerous heart rhythms.
How long does it take to recover from AKI?
Recovery time varies depending on the severity. Mild AKI may resolve in a few days with treatment, while severe cases may require weeks or months, sometimes needing dialysis.
What lifestyle changes help prevent AKI?
Stay hydrated and avoid excessive NSAID use. Manage chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Avoid self-medication with nephrotoxic drugs. Seek immediate medical help if urine output decreases.
Can Acute Kidney Injury be reversed?
Yes, if treated early, kidney function can be restored. However, severe or prolonged AKI can lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or permanent damage.
How is Acute Kidney Injury diagnosed?
AKI is diagnosed using blood tests (creatinine, BUN), urine tests, and imaging (ultrasound, CT scan) to determine kidney function and the underlying cause.
Is scoliosis always painful?
Not always. In many children and teens, scoliosis is painless. In adults, scoliosis may cause back pain due to spinal degeneration.
Can scoliosis go away on its own?
Mild scoliosis may remain stable, especially in adults, but it rarely reverses without intervention. Regular check-ups are essential.
Can I live a normal life after spinal surgery?
