Nephrology

Nephrology:

Nephrology is a specialty of adult internal medicine and pediatric medicine that concerns the study of the kidneys, specifically normal kidney function (renal physiology) and kidney disease (renal pathophysiology), the preservation of kidney health, and the treatment of kidney disease, from diet and medication to renal replacement therapy (dialysis and kidney transplantation).

The Department of Nephrology provides comprehensive and benevolent care to the patients across the spectrum of acute and chronic kidney diseases. The departments’ transplant facilities are engineered to deliver quality care and successful outcomes even in ABO incompatible transplants. Our team of experienced doctors is recognized for its superior clinical skills and for treating all categories of patients ranging from children to adults. We have an eminent team of kidney transplant specialists, nephrologists, urologists and the technical expertise needed to meet the challenges in conducting multiple life saving procedures. We offer the most advanced diagnostics, comprehensive pre-operative evaluation and dialysis support, the latest facilities available in surgical procedures, and complete post-operative care to minimize chances of infection.

We also provide dialysis service driven by an efficient team of nephrologists, nurses, and certified haemodialysis technicians along with registered dieticians. Peritoneal, nocturnal and short daily dialysis and haemodialysis are provided to both children and adults. The patients suffering from kidney diseases need superior quality care, hope and guidance and we take pride in our team’s efforts to achieve successful outcomes for our patients. We ensure patients’ comfort and satisfaction through our services. Nephrology also studies systemic conditions that affect the kidneys, such as diabetes and autoimmune disease; and systemic diseases that occur as a result of kidney disease, such as renal osteodystrophy and hypertension. A physician who has undertaken additional training and become certified in nephrology is called a nephrologist.
