Critical Care Nephrology involves advanced kidney support for critically ill patients with acute kidney injury or severe fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis (SLED) & Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) are specialised treatments used in intensive care settings, offering gentle, continuous blood purification suited for unstable patients. These therapies help manage toxin removal, maintain fluid balance, and support recovery while other treatments address the underlying condition. Apart from this we are also doing Plasmapheresis ( PLEX) , Hemoperfusion & CytoSorb regularly in relevent clinical situations .Our nephrology team is highly trained in critical care kidney management, using state-of-the-art technology to deliver safe, effective, and personalised care for patients in life-threatening situations.
Interventional Nephrology
Interventional Nephrology combines specialised kidney care with minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat kidney-related conditions effectively.IJV, Subclavian & Femoral HD Catheter placement is done in emergency situations for HD initiation. Permcath placement is performed for patients requiring long-term haemodialysis access, ensuring reliable blood flow while reducing infection risks. Ultrasound guided Renal Biopsy involves the precise removal of a small kidney tissue sample for microscopic examination, helping to diagnose conditions such as glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and unexplained kidney dysfunction. CAPD catheterization & AVF creation are also done by our team on regular basis. Our skilled nephrology team ensures patient comfort, accurate diagnosis, and optimal outcomes with the latest technology and compassionate care.
Glomerular diseases
Glomerular diseases affect the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units of the kidneys responsible for removing waste and excess fluid from the blood. These conditions can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders & diabetes and may present as protein in the urine, blood in the urine, swelling, or high blood pressure. Common examples include FSGS,Lupus nephritis, IgA nephropathy and membranous nephropathy. Early diagnosis is vital to prevent progression to chronic kidney disease. Our nephrology team offers comprehensive evaluation, advanced diagnostic tests, and personalised treatment plans to preserve kidney function, manage symptoms, and improve quality of life for patients with glomerular disorders.
Maintenance haemodialysis
Maintenance haemodialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for patients with end-stage kidney disease, where the kidneys can no longer filter waste and excess fluid effectively. Using a dialysis machine, blood is cleansed through an artificial filter before being returned to the body. Treatments are typically carried out several times a week and help control blood pressure, maintain fluid balance, and remove toxins. Our dialysis unit is equipped with advanced technology and strict infection control protocols to ensure patient safety and comfort. The experienced nephrology team provides personalised care, education, and ongoing support to help patients maintain their health and quality of life.
