Our team of expert nephrologists, state-of-the-art technology, and compassionate care ensure that patients receive comprehensive treatment for a wide range of kidney conditions.

What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is the branch of medicine that focuses on the overall health of the kidneys, which are vital for filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood. When the kidneys are compromised, it can lead to serious health issues, including high blood pressure, anaemia, and electrolyte imbalances. Our nephrology services ensure everything from the early detection of kidney diseases to advanced treatments for chronic kidney conditions.

Services Offered by the Nephrology Department

  1. Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Management
  2. Early detection and management of chronic kidney disease are crucial to preventing further kidney damage. We provide ongoing care, including regular monitoring, medication, and lifestyle recommendations to slow the progression of CKD.

  3. Dialysis Services
  4. For patients with advanced kidney failure, dialysis is a life-saving and phenomenal procedure that helps filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. We offer:

    • Hemodialysis: A machine outside the body filters the blood.
    • Peritoneal Dialysis: Fluid is introduced into the abdomen to remove waste and fluid from the body. Our dialysis unit operates in a clean, comfortable and congenial environment with skilled staff available for support.

  7. Hypertension Management
  8. High blood pressure (hypertension) is both a cause and consequence of kidney disease. Our nephrologists specialize in managing difficult-to-treat high blood pressure to help protect kidney function and overall health.

  9. Diabetic Kidney Disease Care

  3. What is the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?
