Overview of Specialty

The Department of Nephrology and Renal Transplant at Yashoda Medicity provides comprehensive care for kidney-related diseases. Our focus lies in early detection, disease prevention, effective management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and advanced therapies such as dialysis and renal transplantation. By combining medical excellence, personalized treatment, and compassionate care, we aim to ensure better outcomes and improved quality of life for our patients.

Conditions Managed

  • Hemodialysis: For patients in end-stage renal disease (ESRD), where toxins and fluid accumulate, leading to fatigue, swelling, nausea, and other complications. Dialysis effectively clears waste and relieves symptoms.

  • CAPD (Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis): A flexible, home-based dialysis using the peritoneal membrane to filter waste. Ideal for patients seeking independence from hospital-based treatment.

  • Glomerulonephritis: Inflammation and damage to kidney filters, resulting in proteinuria, hematuria, or swelling. Often diagnosed via kidney biopsy.

  • Diabetic Nephropathy: Kidney damage caused by long-standing diabetes, presenting with protein leakage in urine, swelling, and rising creatinine.

  • Kidney Stones (Renal Stones): Hard mineral deposits causing severe loin-to-groin pain, hematuria, and obstruction.

  • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Common infections requiring timely treatment to prevent renal complications.

  • Kidney Biopsy: Essential diagnostic procedure to identify disease type and extent of damage in unexplained renal dysfunction.

Renal Transplant

Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with kidney failure, offering long-term recovery and better quality of life.

Our transplant program is equipped to manage even the most complex cases:

  • ABO-incompatible transplants

  • Highly sensitized transplants

  • Swap transplants

  • High-risk patients with co-morbidities

We follow stringent evaluation, desensitization protocols when required, and advanced surgical techniques to maximize success and minimize complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Low-salt, low-protein diets, regular follow-ups, strict sugar and blood pressure control, and timely vaccinations are essential.

Dialysis helps remove waste products and excess fluid when the kidneys can no longer do so. It may be hospital-based hemodialysis or home-based peritoneal dialysis.

Treatment includes medicines, lifestyle changes, dialysis (hemodialysis or CAPD), and renal transplant in advanced cases.

If you experience persistent swelling, abnormal urine reports, uncontrolled hypertension, or elevated creatinine levels, it is advisable to consult a nephrologist.

Swelling in legs or face, foamy urine, fatigue, frequent UTIs, and rising blood pressure are common early signs.
