The hospital's Nephrology speciality is supported by P. Kumaraswamy (MD, DM).
Nephrology is the medical speciality concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases and conditions affecting the kidneys.
The kidneys play an important role in the body by helping to:
Filter waste products from the bloodMaintain fluid balanceRegulate electrolytesSupport blood pressure regulationProduce hormones involved in important body functionsKidney problems can develop gradually or occur suddenly, which is why appropriate medical evaluation is important when symptoms or abnormal test results are identified.
Kidney-related conditions can vary significantly from one patient to another. Appropriate evaluation helps determine the underlying problem and the most suitable treatment approach.
During a nephrology consultation, the doctor may consider:
Current symptomsMedical historyBlood pressureExisting health conditionsPrevious kidney-related problemsBlood and urine test resultsRelevant imaging or medical reportsCurrent medicationsBased on the assessment, the nephrologist may recommend further investigations, medical management, monitoring or referral for additional treatment where required.
Patients may be referred to a nephrologist or seek kidney-related medical consultation for conditions such as:
Chronic kidney diseaseReduced kidney functionAcute kidney-related problemsProtein in the urineBlood in the urineKidney-related blood pressure problemsElectrolyte abnormalitiesFluid and swelling-related concernsCertain kidney infectionsKidney problems associated with diabetes or other medical conditionsThe appropriate treatment depends on the underlying cause and the patient's individual medical condition.
Chronic kidney disease can develop gradually and may not always produce noticeable symptoms during its early stages.
Patients with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or a history of kidney problems may require appropriate medical monitoring based on their doctor's advice.
Nephrology care may involve monitoring kidney function, managing contributing conditions and providing guidance intended to help preserve kidney health.
Kidney function can be assessed through medical history, physical examination and appropriate laboratory investigations.
Depending on the patient's condition, a doctor may review:
Blood test resultsUrine test resultsBlood pressureKidney function measurementsElectrolyte levelsPrevious medical recordsRelevant imaging reportsThe tests required vary according to the patient's symptoms and medical history.
Diabetes and high blood pressure can be associated with kidney problems. Patients living with these conditions may benefit from appropriate medical monitoring as advised by their healthcare professional.
Regular medical consultations can help identify changes in kidney function and allow the treating doctor to recommend appropriate management.
Patients should follow their doctor's advice regarding medicines, blood pressure, blood sugar and kidney health monitoring.
Kidney problems can sometimes be associated with swelling or changes in the body's fluid balance.
Swelling of the feet, ankles, legs or around the eyes may have several possible causes and should not automatically be assumed to be a kidney problem.
If swelling is persistent or accompanied by other concerning symptoms, medical evaluation can help determine the underlying cause.
Kidney health and blood pressure are closely connected.
High blood pressure can affect kidney function over time, while certain kidney conditions can also contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Patients with persistent high blood pressure or known kidney disease may require regular medical monitoring according to their doctor's advice.
Some medicines may require special consideration in patients with reduced kidney function.
Patients with kidney disease should inform their doctors about all medicines, supplements and other treatments they are taking.
Do not start, stop or change prescribed medicines without discussing the decision with your treating doctor.
Our approach focuses on understanding the patient's kidney-related concerns and developing an appropriate medical management plan.
Understanding symptoms, medical history and existing health conditions.
Reviewing relevant blood tests, urine tests and medical reports where required.
Identifying the possible cause of the kidney-related problem based on clinical assessment.
Recommending appropriate medical management, monitoring or further evaluation.
Following kidney function and the patient's response to treatment where ongoing care is required.
Some kidney conditions require ongoing monitoring rather than a single consultation.
For patients who require continuing nephrology care, regular follow-up can help monitor kidney function and other related health factors.
Our approach focuses on clear communication, appropriate medical guidance and helping patients understand their kidney health and treatment plan.
