FAQ’s

Nephrology is the medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of kidney-related conditions and diseases. Nephrologists are experts in kidney health and function.

Our nephrology specialists are experienced in treating a wide range of kidney-related conditions, including kidney stones, chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney infections, and hypertension-related kidney issues.

Symptoms can vary, but they may include changes in urine output, blood in urine, swelling in the ankles or face, fatigue, high blood pressure, and persistent back pain. If you're experiencing any of these, consult a nephrologist.

CKD is diagnosed through blood and urine tests that measure kidney function and identify any abnormalities. These tests help determine the stage of CKD and guide treatment planning.

Treatment options depend on the specific condition and its severity. They may include medication management, dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, dialysis, and kidney transplantation.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key. This includes staying hydrated, managing blood pressure and diabetes, limiting salt intake, avoiding excessive use of over-the-counter pain medications, and regular check-ups.

Dialysis is a medical procedure that helps filter waste and excess fluids from the blood when the kidneys are unable to perform this function. It's a life-saving treatment for individuals with advanced kidney disease. There are two main types: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.

If you have persistent symptoms such as changes in urination, blood in urine, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease, it's advisable to schedule an appointment with a nephrologist.

While not all kidney diseases can be prevented, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, controlling blood pressure and diabetes, staying hydrated, and avoiding excessive use of over-the-counter pain relievers can reduce the risk.

PKD is a genetic disorder where fluid-filled cysts develop in the kidneys, potentially leading to kidney enlargement and impaired function over time.
