Bengaluru, 12th March 2020: Over 66 countries across the globe, including India, celebrate the second Thursday in March, every year, as the World Kidney Day. To mark the special day, Sagar Hospitals, Tilak Nagar Branch, Bengaluru hosted an awareness event under the theme- “Kidney health for everyone, everywhere” on 11 March between 11 am and 1 pm.
The event was witnessed the presence of honorable chief guests: Sihi Kahi Chandru, Kannada film actor, Dr D Hemachandra Sagar, Chairman of Sagar Group and IPS officer, Praveen Sood (DGP & IG – Karnataka State Police). Today, since around 850 million people are affected by Kidney disease across the world, it is reported that Kidney disease is the sixth largest cause of human death. So, there is a growing fear that the rate of 1 among the every 10 people who has kidney disease is estimated to come down to 1 among 5 by 2025. But, hope has been brought in by doctors and other medical professionals that kidney disease is curable and preventable with the latest advances made in the field of medical sciences. Chief guest Dr D Hemachandra Sagar addressed “Kidney constitutes a vital organ of our body and it cannot be ignored very easily. Awareness events, like this, are an opportunity that educates every individual that he shouldn’t risk his health.” Following IPS officer, Praveen Sood remarked Not often do we see institutions celebrating occasions like World Kidney Day. They are necessary to raise awareness among the general public especially on organ trafficking. We are hoping to curb the organ trafficking to a large extent by stringent laws.” This year, Sagar Hospitals sets out to create awareness about the increasing burden of kidney disease and its complications and in the event honour and recognize doctors, counselors, other technicians who are involved in treating the kidney patients as well as certain patients who are undergoing dialysis for the past 5 odd years. Sagar Hospitals decides and believes that this small effort would lead to create a major impact on society by drawing the attention of every individual about a life-threatening problem.

Diet for the Chronic Kidney Disease is bit complicated but still it can be managed by following proper diet. Kidney disease can be categorized depending on the GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate, a measure of your level of kidney function) and kidney damage. There are 5 stages of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) starting from CKD stage 1 to stage 5. Treatment including medical and nutritional plan also varies depending on the stages of kidney disease.
Why Nutrition is important for CKD Nutrition requirement varies from individual to individual. Though diet is very much important for those individuals who are on medication or not as because, ● To get energy ● To maintain the healthy weight ● To prevent from infections ● To maintain blood parameters Nutrients and CKD Those individuals having CKD should follow a Renal diet. But the diet is always individualized in terms of calorie requirement, protein requirement and micro nutrient requirements.
Protein: Protein helps us to build muscle, repair tissue and fight against infections. Protein intake for kidney disease patients depends on the muscle mass and stage of kidney disease. Those who are undergoing dialysis require more protein because dialyses filter out wastes from blood, it also removes proteins and due to that muscle starts to break down. This break down of muscle can make the individual fatigue and make them more prone to infections. Protein is divided into two categories. One is first class and the other one is second class. First class proteins are generally absorbed easily in the body compared to second class proteins. Though a combination of protein is recommended for these patients of course considering the blood reports.
Sources: First class protein source includes Egg, Chicken, Fish, Red meat. Second class protein includes Milk and milk products, Soya, Tofu, Beans, Legumes and Pulses etc.
Sodium: Sodium affects blood pressure & water balance in the body. If individuals suffering from CKD, Sodium &Fluid buildup in the body, which can lead to swelling Sodium should always restrict from diet regime for those individuals suffering from kidney disease.
Sources: All packaged food including Ketchup, Soy sauce, Processed meat, Salted snacks including chips or namkeens, Papad, Pickle etc. Always Read food label before using it.
Potassium: Potassium rich diet is always restricted for an individual with CKD. A normal kidney removes potassium through urination. Kidney’s that are not functioning properly cannot remove potassium in the urine, so it builds up in the blood. High potassium can cause irregular heartbeat & can even cause heart to stop working.
Sources: Banana, Fruits and fruit juices, Tender coconut water, Ragi, Green leafy vegetables except Fenugreek leaves, Tomato, Potato etc
Phosphorus: Person with kidney disease may not be able to remove the excess Phosphorus from the blood. For a safer side food high in Phosphorus can be restricted. A high level of Phosphorus in the blood can cause Calcium to build up in the blood vessels, heart joints, muscles and skin which can lead to poor blood circulation, bone pain and skin ulcers.
Sources: Dairy product including Milk, Cheese, Yogurt, Curd; Nuts; Dried beans; Beverages like Cocoa, Beer & Soft drink etc.
Fluids: Depending on the Chronic kidney disease stages and urine output fluid intake can be calculated. To control intake individual should Not drink more than the Doctor’s advice. Fluid intake can be calculated including Tea, Coffee, Sambar, Rasam etc. Individualized diet plan should help the individual to maintain the optimal nutrition. Doctor and Dietitian plan the treatment depends on the condition and it varies person to person. Always refer to your personalized meal plan prescribed by your Dietitian.
Ananda Social & Education Trust was started during 1980 as the brin child of Dr. L Shivalingaiah under the guidance and blessings of sri R. Funda Rao, former Chief Minister of Karnataka and Sri. B. Shankarananda, Hon’ble Minister for Health & Family Welfare Govt of India. As, Dr. L. Shivalingaiah was in service, he included friends like Dr. N.T Mohan, H.S Shivaswamy, M.H Jayaprakash Narayan, B. Gopalaiah, P.L Nanjundaswamy, M.K Kempasiddaiah, A.D Kuberappa alias V.S Kuber and S. Guruppaji as Trustees Presently the trust A S & E under its umbrella runs Dr. B.R Ambedkar Medical college, Mathrushri Ramabhai Ambedkar Dental College and DR.B.R Ambedkar College of Nursing. Unfortunately, four Senior Trustees passed away and the remaining founder Trustees inducted their children into the trust to develop second line of able administration for the Trust and its institutions. At this juncture Mr. Mallikarjun kharge master minded and threatened few Sr. Trustees and got his Son-in-law Radhakrishna into the Trust during the year 2000 But unfortunately, it was only a minority of trustees who had agreed hence he was removed from the Trust during the year 2001 Later again Mr. Mallikarjun kharge master minded with vengeance and got an administrator posted through his friend and colleague H.C Srikantaiah,Revenue Minister. The Senior founder Trustees filed a writ petition No.29684/2003 before the Hon’ble High Court of Karnataka and succeeded in removing the administer appointed by the Government to the Trust illegally
During the year 2003 Mr. Mallikarjun kharge used his political clout, arm twisted and threatened the Trustees with dire consequences if they did not induct his son-in-law into the trust immediately. The Trustees succumbed to the pressure and inducted Radhakrishna to the Trust again. Radhakrishna was running a petty business of cooking Gas Agency namely M/s Kaniska Gas Agency, Bellary Raod, Gangangar , Bangalore Till date the Trust does not even know his antecedents, educational qualification and other details even through several requests and reminders and reminders have been sent by the Trust. Radhakrishna after entering I to this trust, thorugh political clout of his father-in-law Mr. Mallikarjun kharge, has brought in divide and rule policy. The Senior Trustees who did not listen to him, were harassed through the employees by filling false and frivolous cases in the courts and getting Income tax and other authorities to raid, Also master minded in keeping the Senior away from the institutions. He in turn joined hands with two senior trustees and two Junior trustees. V.S Kuber and S.Guruppaji, H.S. Mahadev Prasad and Dr. Muruli Mohan, V.S. Kuber, S. Guruppaji and H.S. Mahadev Prasad are with Criminal back grounds. He is not only using them at his whims and fancies for his gains but also they have joined hands with Radhakrishna in swindling the institutions to the tune of hundreds of Crores. Properties have been acquired in their families and their benami names.
The Senior Founder Trustees were all deprived of their posts as Chairmen and other administrative posts of the Instituions As per High Court Direction “One year One Post” was totally ignored Radhakrishna Continued as Chairman of the Medical College for three years ie., 2009, 2010 & 2011. Radjakrishna never gave proper accounts to the Trust till date. He has not only manipulated all the accounts but also forged documents to do management admissions, Radhakrishna is accused No.2 in the Medical Comed-K, Seat Blocking Scam. The D.J.Halli Police, Bangalore, filed an F.I.R against him vide Criminal Case No.280/2014, dated 22.08.2014, which involves misuse of 51 crores. He managed and obtained ‘B’ Report by the CCB Police by utilizing his political influence but the Magistrate Court cancelled the ‘B’ Report filed by the CCB Police, Bangalore and investigation is under process. Also he manipulated in the Marix colliding with Principal Dr. S.V. Divakar and Broker Amanulla. He tampered with the documents and cheated deserving students. He paid them some monies to the Benamistudents and admitted undeserving students who had failed but got pass certificates from Jharkhand and other places with huge donations, this brought the quality of education of the institutions to all time low. Radjakrishna again continued his domination in the Trust and managed in becoming the Chairman of the Medical College, from 2016 to 2019 (4 Years). During the above said period Radhakrishna recived cash, DD and cheque from the students admitted to Medical College, but has not submitted the accounts to the tune of hundred’s of Crores till date. Also, he is not concerned or bothered about the development of the Institution.
The Senior Founder Trustee like V.S. Kube, S.Guruppaji and Junior trustee Mr. H.S. Mahadev Prasad are in collusion with Radhakrishna and helped him not looting the monies but also involved in misusing the funds of the institutions to their gains too. It is learnt from reliable sources, that last year crores of rupees was paid by Medical, Dental and Nursing Colleges accounts to Sri. Priyanka Kharge for his MLA election expenses. Even since past time three months the funds have been drawn and supplied to Sri. Mallikarjun Kharge and Lok Sabha elections. By untiring this opportunity V.S. Kuber misused Crores of rupees from Medical, Dental and Nursing Collegees and made several properties in the nameof his daughter jyothi, and his son-in-law Shiva Kumar by purchasing an apartment near ISCON Temple, Bangalore, worth crores. V.S.Kuber also purchased about 50 acres of Land and converted into a farm at Kudlige, Bellary District. Apart from the above he has made several site, houses, in the name of his other sons, daughters, son in laws., relatives and other Benami names. V.S.Kuber is running a Travel Business at 1st Block, Rajajinagar in the name of his Son in law Shivakumar, M/S Classic Tours and Travels. S. Gurappaji, Senior Founder trustee transferred Rupees Four Cross fifty lakhs funds belonging to Medical college to Australia for his daughter kavitha Guruppaji, who was involved in a Drugs Scam. The above said four corers fifty lakhs was transferred from India to Australia under the Trust and institution accounts through Amaanulla khan, Dr. S.V Divakar, Dr. Amika Divakar, Nagendra, Driver of Guruppaji, Manjunath Contractor, Investigation is under process at the income Tax Department but Radhakrishna is helping S. Guruppaji, by using his Political influence to delay any action. It is learnt from reliable sources that S. Guruppaji again transferred rupees two crores from the M.R Ambedkar Dental college funds to Australia to help his daughter overcome the Scam, through relatives of Dr. S.V Divakar, principal, Dr. B.R Ambedkar Medical College Sri. Chidananda Engineer, R.L Nagaiah, retd Manager, of the trust and Y.L Kalasappa Retd. Employee Dental College. The above said acts of Guruppaji comes under FEMA Act which can dealt under the criminal Act. Many complaints lodged before the income Tax, CCB, ED, CBI, and concerned Ministry, but so far no action has been taken against the S. Guruppaji is most unfortunate. H.S Mahadev Prasad, a junior trustee also looted several crores of rupees belonging to Medical, Dental and Nursing colleges, and made several properties out of the institutional funds. He admitted his daughter and his relatives for MBBS & post Graduate course under the Mangement Quota in Dr. B.R Medical Ambedkar Medical college and collected only fees. This resulted in a huge financial loss to the institution. A show-case notice issued to him by the then managing Trustee V.S Kuber is self explanatory about the misdeeds omission and commission committed by Mahadev Prasad. Dr. S.V Divakar, was, a poor student, who was given a management seat atthe Medical College He further approached for PG seat also from the Mangement, which was also considered Later he served as Lecture, Asst.professor, professor, Medical Superintendent, RMO and the Princpal of Medical College by virtue of his proximityto Guruappaji and V.S Kuber and not on hi sMerit, academic or his professional performance etc. It is most uinfotunate that Dr. S.V Divakar, being an employee filed sevetal cases against the Mangement before the Civil Court, High Court and Supreme Court at the instance and instigation by V.S Kuber, Senior Trustees of the trust. Dr. S.V Divakar is also running Real Estate Busines, with the Medical College Funds with his partner Mr. Javeed Ahmed Dr. Divakar is a sleeping partner 60% Hehas acquired several properties land, sites apartments etc, in and around Bangalore City worth hundred,s of cores.
