Our department is staffed with highly skilled and trained dialysis technicians and nurses. They are dedicated to providing warm care to every patient. They go through constant training to stay updated with the latest advancements in kidney care and dialysis techniques.
Modern Hemodialysis Machines
We utilise modern hemodialysis machines. They ensure efficient and effective dialysis treatment for our patients. These machines have advanced features to enhance patient comfort and treatment outcomes.
Multi-Filtered RO Plant
Our multi-filtered RO plant ensures the highest standards of water purity for dialysis. This critical aspect of dialysis helps prevent problems. And ensures the safety of our patients during their treatment.
High-End Vital Monitoring Equipment
We use high-end vital monitoring equipment to closely monitor patients’ vital signs during dialysis sessions. This real-time monitoring allows our medical team to intervene promptly if any issues arise, ensuring patient safety and well-being.
CRRT Unit
Our Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) unit provides advanced kidney support for patients with severe kidney dysfunction. This technology allows for precise control of fluid and electrolyte balance. This is vital for patients with critical kidney conditions.
Isolation Hemodialysis Facility
For patients requiring specialised care or isolation protocols, we offer a dedicated isolation hemodialysis facility. This ensures that patients with specific medical needs receive the appropriate care in a controlled environment.
At SSB Heart and Multispecialty Hospital, we believe in providing high-quality healthcare that is accessible and affordable. Our dialysis services are priced competitively to ensure that every patient receives the care they truly need without financial strain.
Several factors can be responsible for an increased risk of developing diseases related to nephrology. These include:
Elderly People:
Ageing is a significant risk factor for kidney diseases. This includes chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). The prevalence of kidney disease increases as you age, especially in people over 60 years old.
Patients with Diabetes:
Diabetes is one of the leading causes of kidney disease. This is known as diabetic nephropathy. Prolonged uncontrolled diabetes can damage the kidneys over time. This can lead to CKD and, ultimately, end-stage kidney disease (ESRD).
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Patients:
Chronic high blood pressure tends to damage blood vessels in the kidneys. This leads to kidney disease. Hypertension is common in patients with kidney diseases and can exacerbate kidney damage.
People with a Family History of Kidney Disease:
Genetic factors play a role in predisposing people to kidney diseases. A family history of kidney disease can potentially increase the risk of developing similar conditions.
Obese People:
Obesity is seen as a risk factor for developing kidney diseases, including CKD. Excessive weight puts a huge strain on the kidneys. It can lead to conditions such as glomerulopathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
Smokers:
Smoking acts as a risk factor for kidney disease. It can contribute to the progression of kidney damage in people with existing kidney conditions. And increase the risk of developing CKD and other kidney-related disorders.
Common symptoms of diseases related to nephrology can vary depending on the specific condition. Some general symptoms commonly related to kidney diseases include:
Fatigue and Weakness:
Feeling tired or weak, even after rest, can be a common symptom of kidney disease, especially in advanced stages. This is often due to anaemia and the build-up of waste products in the blood.
Swelling:
Swelling, especially in the legs, ankles, feet, or face, can occur when the kidneys are unable to remove excess fluid from the body. This fluid retention is known as oedema and is a common sign of kidney dysfunction.
Changes in Urination:
Kidney diseases can cause changes in urination patterns, such as:
Blood in Urine:
The presence of blood in the urine can be a sign of kidney disease or other urinary tract issues. It may appear pink, red, or brownish in colour.
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension):
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can lead to high blood pressure, and hypertension can also contribute to kidney damage. Monitoring blood pressure is crucial in managing kidney health.
Nausea and Vomiting:
Kidney diseases can cause nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. This happens when waste products build up in the body due to decreased kidney function.
Itching:
Persistent itching, often without a visible rash, can occur in kidney disease. This is due to the build-up of toxins in the bloodstream.
The scope of services includes the following:
What is nephrology?
Nephrology is the branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of kidney-related conditions and diseases.
What are the common kidney diseases?
Common kidney diseases include chronic kidney disease (CKD) and acute kidney injury (AKI). It may also include kidney stones and diabetic nephropathy. It may further include glomerulonephritis and polycystic kidney disease (PKD).
What are the symptoms of kidney disease?
Symptoms of kidney disease can include fatigue and swelling (oedema). It may also include changes in urination patterns, blood in the urine or high blood pressure (hypertension). It may further include nausea, vomiting, itching (pruritus), and loss of appetite.
What is dialysis, and when is it needed?
Dialysis is a medical procedure that helps remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood. It is done when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions adequately. It is needed in cases of end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) or severe kidney dysfunction.
What are the types of dialysis?
There are two main types of dialysis. They are known as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Hemodialysis involves filtering blood through a machine. Peritoneal dialysis makes use of the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum) to filter blood.
Can kidney disease be prevented?
While some kidney diseases are genetic, many cases of kidney disease can be prevented. Or at least slowed down by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This includes controlling your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It also includes avoiding smoking and maintaining a healthy weight. It further includes staying hydrated and avoiding excessive use of over-the-counter medications. Regular check-ups and early detection of kidney problems are also crucial for prevention and management.
