A kidney biopsy involves taking one or more tiny samples of your kidney to look at with special microscopes.
This speciality of nephrology deals with kidney transplants which is gaining popularity among patients suffering from end-stage renal disease.
This is a synthetic process that allows a dialysis machine to filter your blood, removing waste and water. The process assists the body's impaired kidney function and is usually adopted while the patient undergoes treatment for the underlying disease, or till a suitable donor kidney becomes available. In the dialysis machine, the blood passes through…
This is a procedure by which a small piece of the kidney is surgically removed for lab testing. Biopsies are primarily used to test for cancer, but is also effective in detecting or confirming other forms of kidney disease. The biopsy can be done through minimally invasive methods, although sometimes a surgical biopsy may be needed to identify the…
Sometimes it is impossible to find a compatible kidney donor. With urgency mounting, emergency cases may require an ABO incompatible kidney transplant.
This procedure takes a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor and transplants it into a patient whose kidneys have failed. Without functional kidneys, the body accumulates harmful amounts of waste and fluid, which is a life-threatening situation. Everyone has two kidneys, and it is possible to function normally with just one, this makes it…
A paired kidney exchange, also known as a ‘kidney swap occurs when a living kidney donor is incompatible with the recipient, and exchanges kidneys with another donor/recipient pair.
CLKT is performed routinely in patients with cirrhosis and associated kidney diseases. Most of these patients have chronic renal failure due to parenchymal kidney diseases, in most cases glomerulopathy associated with alcoholic cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C infection, or chronic renal failure due to kidney rejection after kidney transplantation.…
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is becoming the treatment of choice for critically ill paediatric patients as well as neonatal patients with acute kidney injury and congenital errors of metabolism.
Transvaginal route for kidney extraction (TVE) has emerged as a contemporary surgical option during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy to minimize scars and to offer donors cosmetic advantages in tandem with low post-operative pain.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious medical condition which affects lakhs of people. Most cases of AKI are caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, usually in a patient who’s unwell with a health condition. The reduced blood flow could be caused by severe dehydration from excessive vomiting or diarrhoea or low blood volume after bleeding. Patients…
Quaternary care, which is a highly specialised field in the medical profession, is at the core of our treatment protocol. This is because we have the finesse and state-of-the-art medical technology to equip our transplant surgeons to perform the most complex of kidney transplants. Along with this, we offer a range of services, including dialysis, kidney biopsy, laparoscopic or robotic surgeries, and transplants, creating vascular access.
Statistics reveal that one out of three kidney patients waiting for a kidney transplant are unable to get one despite having a blood group-compatible donor kidney. This is precisely because the patient may have a tissue mismatch due to sensitisation, which results in a high chance of rejection. At Manipal Hospital, these recipients undergo successful desensitisation therapy to achieve a successful transplant.
Desensitisation services available are:
Plasmapheresis
Immunoadsorption
Immunosuppressive drugs
The range of Outpatient and inpatient services includes in-centre day care procedures such as dialysis. This encompasses the entire spectrum of dialysis services that include: - Hemodialysis IP & OP (Adult/Pediatric/Neonatal) - Peritoneal Dialysis – CAPD/CCPD (Adult/Pediatric) - SLED – Sustained Low Efficiency Dialysis - CRRT – Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy - Nocturnal dialysis - Plasmapheresis - Mobile Dialysis - Online Haemodiafiltration (HDF).
Swelling, odd urine changes, or stubborn high blood pressure are warning signs of kidney problems. A simple blood test (creatinine, eGFR) tells us how your kidneys are doing. Early help often slows the disease and improves outcomes.
We offer in-centre haemodialysis, home haemodialysis, and automated peritoneal dialysis. Your nephrologist helps you choose what fits your lifestyle and health needs. Training and a 24/7 helpline keep you confident and secure.
Acute kidney injury often heals fully if care is received early on when the condition is still reversible. Chronic disease can’t be cured, but it can be slowed down with proper management – check with our doctor for diet modifications, blood pressure control, and medications.
This truly depends on your health conditions and individual risk factors. For healthy individuals, annual kidney tests and urinalysis may be recommended as part of a regular medical check-up. But diabetes or high blood pressure patients or those with a family history of kidney disease may need more frequent testing, potentially in 3–6 months. Our nephrologists in Bangalore set up a schedule based on your lab reports and goals. Regular monitoring helps doctors change your ongoing treatment before issues worsen.
Yes, kidney transplants often offer better quality of life and longer survival. However, they require lifelong immune-suppressing medications and carry surgical risks. We review your health, donor options, and lifestyle to guide your choice.
Having a medical condition like kidney failure or a chronic kidney condition can affect your whole life.
