Overview

Nephrology is the branch of medical health science that deals and focuses on the health, function, diseases and treatments related to kidneys.

It involves the use of certain medicines to restore kidney functions, taking diets to improve kidney health, and performing certain surgeries or treatments to cure kidney diseases.

Treatment & Services

There are various eye disorders and disease that need treatments.Some of these disorders are:

Kidney stones

It is a common health condition that affects a lot of people. Kidney stones are formed when the minerals and other particles present in the blood change into crystals and form solid masses called stones. These stones exit from the body during urination but sometimes the large stones need surgery to remove them.

Urinary tract infections

It is a condition when bacteria infects some part of the urinary system. Such infections in the urethra and bladder are commonly seen. These infections can be treated easily but if they are left untreated, they can spread in the kidneys and result in kidney failure.

Glomerulonephritis

It is a condition in which the glomeruli gets inflamed by some drugs, infections, or congenital abnormalities. Glomeruli are small structures inside a kidney that filters the blood. This condition gets better on its own in most cases, but sometimes one may need to visit a nephrologist for a treatment.

Polycystic kidney disease

It is a genetic disorder in which a number of cysts, fluid sacs, starts to grow in the kidney. These cysts can disturb the kidney functions and can cause damage to it. If the condition is left untreated, these cysts can result in a kidney failure.

Kidney Failure

It is a serious kidney condition in which a kidney loses its ability to perform its functions. Certain acute and chronic kidney diseases can lead to kidney failure over time. After a kidney failure, the kidney can no longer filter waste from the blood. Kidney failure needs urgent and proper treatment on time.

Our Approach to Nephrology Patients

Kidneys need urgent care and treatment when they are completely damaged and can’t perform their functions properly. The problem starts with minor damage and if that isn’t treated on time, both the kidneys will get damaged and may stop working completely. If you see any symptoms related to a kidney, your doctor may recommend you to see a kidney specialist which is a Nephrologist. They are experts in diagnosing and treating all kidney diseases. They will do some tests, investigations and may be able to diagnose the problem. After diagnosing the exact kidney issue, they will then decide the appropriate treatment to slow or stop the damage.

A kidney is one of the most important organs as it removes all the extra fluid and waste from the body. It is our kidneys that maintain a balance of minerals, salt and water. It is also true that no human being can live without a kidney and if waste is not removed from the body, it can lead to severe diseases.
