Nephrology

Nephrology is a branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing and treating kidney conditions. At Medcy Hospitals, our nephrologists are kidney specialists who restore kidney function in both adults and children. Our team of highly skilled nephrologists and medical professionals is dedicated to creating personalized treatment plans that aim to improve kidney function, provide quicker relief, and enhance your quality of life.

Types of Nephrology Services at Medcy Hospitals

Patients can undergo the following nephrology treatments at Medcy Hospitals:

Kidney Transplant Services

• Kidney Transplant: A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to replace a non-functioning kidney with a healthy one from a living or deceased donor.
• Living Donor Kidney Transplant: This procedure involves taking a healthy kidney from a living donor and transplanting it into a recipient.
• Donor Nephrectomy: The surgical removal of a healthy kidney from a living donor. Our surgeons often use a laparoscopic nephrectomy, a minimally invasive technique that uses small incisions, resulting in less pain and a faster recovery for the donor.

Dialysis and Renal Support

• Haemodialysis: In this process, blood is circulated through an external machine called a dialyzer (or artificial kidney) for filtration before being returned to the body.
• Peritoneal Dialysis: This method uses the inner lining of the abdomen, the peritoneum, as a natural filter. A cleansing solution is introduced into the abdomen to filter waste products from the blood and is later drained.
• Acute Haemodialysis: An emergency service for patients who require immediate dialysis due to an injury or sudden kidney failure. It helps stabilize and support kidney function when the kidneys cannot function on their own.

Surgical & Procedural Treatments

• Kidney Stone Removal: Kidney stones are mineral and salt deposits that form inside the kidneys. While some pass on their own, others require surgical intervention. We offer four treatment options: ureteroscopy, shock wave lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, or open surgery.
• Hydronephrosis Treatment: This condition occurs when urine builds up in one or both kidneys, causing them to swell. Treatment involves draining the urine and addressing the underlying cause, such as kidney stones, to restore proper kidney function.
• Interventional Nephrology: This specialty focuses on minimally invasive procedures to manage complications related to dialysis access, such as ultrasound-guided renal biopsy, peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion, and fistula salvage procedures.

Preventive & Comprehensive Care

• Preventive Nephrology and Screening Programme: This program aims to identify and address early signs of kidney disease through regular screening. Early preventive measures can be taken to mitigate the condition and slow its progression.
