Services

Nephrology

  • Medications: Treatment often involves medications to manage conditions like hypertension, kidney stones, infections, or autoimmune diseases affecting the kidneys.
  • Dietary Changes: Adjustments in diet, especially regarding salt, potassium, and protein intake, can be recommended to manage kidney-related issues.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Encouraging healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise and quitting smoking can positively impact kidney health.

Dialysis

  • Hemodialysis: This process involves the use of a machine to filter the blood outside the body and remove waste products when the kidneys are unable to perform this function adequately.
  • Peritoneal Dialysis: Using the peritoneum’s lining in the abdomen as a natural filter, this type of dialysis involves regular exchanges of dialysis fluid through a catheter.

Kidney Transplant

  • Immunosuppressive Medications: Prescribed to prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney, these medications suppress the immune system’s response.
  • Regular Monitoring: Continuous monitoring post-transplant to detect any signs of rejection or complications early.
  • Lifestyle Changes: Patients are advised to adopt a healthy lifestyle, take prescribed medications, and follow up with medical appointments to ensure the success of the transplant.

Transplant Failure & Graft Dysfunction

  • Medication Adjustments: Changes in immunosuppressive medications or addition of other medications to manage complications or prevent rejection.
  • Biopsy & Diagnostic Tests: Performing biopsies and diagnostic tests to identify the cause of graft dysfunction or transplant failure.
  • Possible Re-Transplantation: In cases of severe graft dysfunction or failure, a re-transplantation might be considered if the patient is eligible.
