The Nephrology Department at Vivacity Multispecialty Hospital, located in Madhyamgram, Kolkata, is dedicated to diagnosing and treating diseases. 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.
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.
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.
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:
We provide comprehensive pre- and post-kidney transplant care in collaboration with experienced transplant surgeons. Our team works with you to evaluate whether a transplant is the right option, guides you through the process, and provides long-term care after the procedure.
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.
Diabetes is a leading cause of kidney disease. We offer diabetic nephropathy management, ensuring tight blood sugar control and preventive measures to avoid any rising kidney complications for diabetic patients.
If you're prone to kidney stones, our team will assist you manage the condition and prevent future stone formation with dietary guidance, medication, and minimally invasive procedures when necessary.
Sudden kidney failure, or acute kidney injury (AKI), can be life-threatening. Our emergency nephrology team provides rapid care to stabilize kidney function and prevent long-term damage.
We diagnose and treat a range of glomerular diseases (conditions affecting the tiny filtering units of the kidney) and chronic urinary tract infections that can affect kidney health over time.
Early signs include fatigue, swollen feet and ankles, changes in urine output, difficulty concentrating, and high blood pressure. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical advice immediately.
In hemodialysis, your blood is filtered outside your body using a machine. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of your abdomen (peritoneum) to filter blood inside your body. Both methods remove waste and excess fluid.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, controlling blood sugar and blood pressure, staying hydrated, and avoiding overuse of painkillers can help protect your kidneys.
A kidney transplant can restore kidney function, but lifelong care and medication are required to prevent rejection of the new kidney. Regular check-ups are crucial and mandatory for maintaining health after a transplant.
At Vivacity Multispecialty Hospital, our Nephrology Department is committed to providing exceptional care and excellence for patients with kidney conditions. Whether you're managing chronic kidney disease, considering dialysis, or exploring kidney transplant options, our specialists are here to guide you every step of the way.
