If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney problems, you are at risk for kidney disease. Kidney disease is serious, but if you catch it early, you can slow it down or stop it. Ask your doctor to check your kidneys.
South Asia basically refers to India and the few countries around it. It is known as a subcontinent as it was not originally part of the landmass known as the Asian continent. This can be seen from the presence of the Himalayas.
Geographically, it is the peninsular region in south-central Asia delineated by the Himalayas in the north, the Hindu Kush in the west, and the Arakanese in the east. Politically, the Indian subcontinent usually includes Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Sometimes, the term South Asia is used interchangeably with Indian subcontinent. There is no consensus about which countries should be included in each.
