About the Department & USPs
Welcome to our Nephrology Department, where we specialize in safeguarding kidney health through advanced care and expertise. Our team of skilled nephrologists is committed to diagnosing and managing kidney-related conditions with precision. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, we provide comprehensive services, including dialysis, kidney transplants, and advanced diagnostic evaluations. We prioritize patient-centric care, offering personalized treatment plans to enhance outcomes and improve quality of life.
Conditions We Treat
Our specially trained nephrology specialists, state-of-the-art technology, and recovery care also provide you with the best medical choices to prevent or treat many conditions, including:
- Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) – Progressive loss of kidney function over time.
- Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) – Sudden loss of kidney function, often reversible with prompt care.
- Kidney Stones (Nephrolithiasis) – Crystals forming in the urinary tract causing pain and obstruction.
- Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) – A genetic disorder causing cyst formation in kidneys.
- Nephrotic Syndrome – Protein loss in urine, leading to swelling and kidney dysfunction.
- Glomerulonephritis – Inflammation of kidney filters impacting filtration.
- Diabetic Nephropathy – Kidney damage due to diabetes, a leading cause of kidney failure.
- Hypertensive Nephropathy – Kidney damage caused by high blood pressure.
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) – Recurrent or complicated infections affecting kidney health.
- Hydronephrosis – Swelling of kidneys due to urine flow blockage.
- Kidney Infections (Pyelonephritis) – Infections causing inflammation in the kidneys.
- End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) – Advanced kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation.
- Electrolyte Imbalances – Disorders affecting sodium, potassium, and calcium levels
- Quality maintenance hemodialysis delivery and care
- Procedure performed: Permacath (TCC) insertion and renal biopsy

Advanced technology is vital for delivering high-quality nephrology care. Below are the essential technologies used in a nephrology department:
- High-Performance Hemodialysis Machines
- Peritoneal Dialysis Cyclers
- Kidney Biopsy Ultrasound-Guided Devices
- Renal Function Testing Analyzers
- Water Treatment and Purification Systems for Dialysis
- Nephrology-Specific Electronic Health Records (EHR)
- Point-of-Care Testing (POCT) Devices for Quick Diagnostics
Kidney disease symptoms may not be present in early stages. As the disease advances, patients may experience swelling in the legs or face, fatigue, decreased urination, foamy urine, or hypertension. Blood and urine tests are essential in monitoring kidney disease.
Individuals with diabetes, hypertension, obesity, a family history of kidney disease, or those taking pain medications over a period of time are at an increased risk of kidney disease.
Kidney stones are caused by dehydration, high salt levels in the urine, or metabolic disorders. The symptoms of kidney stones may include severe pain in the flank area,a burning sensation while urinating, or hematuria. Kidney stones can be treated by taking medications and fluids for small stones, while surgery may be required for large stones.
Dialysis can be temporary or a long-term process depending on the underlying cause of the renal failure. In some instances, such as acute renal failure, dialysis can be discontinued once the renal function is restored. However, in the case of chronic renal failure, dialysis can be a regular process unless a transplant is an option.
Sometimes, early kidney issues can be managed and even reversed. But in most cases, when the kidneys are already damaged, the damage is usually permanent.
Diet is very important in the management of kidney disease. Patients may have to restrict their intake of salt, protein, potassium, and fluids depending on the severity of the disease. A diet plan, as advised by a doctor or dietician, is very helpful in protecting the kidneys.
A kidney transplant is considered in severe kidney failure when dialysis is no longer adequate for long-term management. It provides an improved quality of life for selected patients after evaluation.
