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.
