Nephrology

At NHS Hospitals, our Department of Nephrology is dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of kidney-related diseases and disorders. The kidneys play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by filtering waste, balancing fluids, and regulating blood pressure. Our team of expert nephrologists ensures that patients with kidney problems receive comprehensive, advanced, and compassionate care.

We provide specialized treatment for a wide range of kidney conditions, including acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney stones, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, electrolyte and acid-base imbalances, hypertension, and diabetic kidney disease. Our nephrologists are also experienced in managing patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), offering both dialysis and transplant support.

The department is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as ultrasound, CT scans, kidney biopsies, and advanced laboratory facilities for accurate evaluation. Early detection and timely intervention are key aspects of our approach, helping to prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes.

For patients requiring renal replacement therapy, we provide both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis with modern, well-maintained machines and strict infection-control practices. Our dialysis unit is staffed by experienced nephrologists, trained technicians, and nursing professionals who ensure safe and comfortable treatment experiences. We also offer continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in the ICU for critically ill patients.

Our nephrology team works in close collaboration with specialists from urology, endocrinology, cardiology, and critical care, providing a multidisciplinary approach to managing complex cases. For patients undergoing kidney transplantation, we ensure seamless coordination with transplant surgeons, immunologists, and rehabilitation specialists.

In addition to treatment, we emphasize preventive nephrology and patient education. Lifestyle counseling, dietary guidance, and regular monitoring are provided to help patients maintain kidney health, especially those at risk due to diabetes, hypertension, or family history of kidney disease.

With access to 24×7 emergency services, ICU support, and advanced dialysis care, our department is fully prepared to manage urgent and chronic kidney conditions.

At NHS Hospitals, our Nephrology department stands for expert care, advanced technology, and patient-focused treatment, ensuring healthier kidneys and a better quality of life.
