Diseases We Treat
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
A progressive loss of kidney function over time, often caused by conditions like diabetes and hypertension, leading to a gradual decline in the ability of the kidneys to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
A sudden and rapid decrease in kidney function, often due to factors such as severe dehydration, infections, or certain medications, which can lead to an accumulation of waste products in the blood.
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units within the kidneys, which can result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other conditions, leading to symptoms such as blood in the urine, proteinuria, and edema.
Treatments We Offer
Dialysis
For advanced CKD, hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis may be required to perform the kidney's filtering functions.
Kidney Transplantation
In cases of end-stage renal disease, a kidney transplant may be considered as a long-term solution.
Dialysis
Temporary dialysis may be necessary if kidney function declines significantly and fluid or waste products build up.
Antihypertensives
Such as ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) to control blood pressure and reduce kidney damage.
Erythropoiesis-Stimulating Agents
To treat anemia associated with CKD.
