Department of Nephrology and Renal Transplant - Facilities

Clinical Services & Disease Management

The department provides specialised, evidence-based management for the entire range of renal pathologies:

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): Comprehensive protocols for early detection, metabolic stabilization, and renal recovery.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): Integrated management to slow disease progression, including dietary counseling and cardiovascular risk reduction.

Glomerular & Tubulointerstitial Diseases: Precision diagnosis and therapy for primary and secondary nephropathies through advanced histopathology and immunomodulation.

Nephrotic & Nephritic Syndromes: Advanced care for protein-losing Nephropathies and inflammatory renal conditions.

Specialized Clinics: Dedicated units for Resistant Hypertension and Diabetic Kidney Disease.

Advanced Extracorporeal & Interventional Procedures

The department is equipped with the latest extracorporeal blood purification technologies and interventional tools.

Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT)

We specialise in providing tailored dialysis solutions for both stable and critically ill patients:

• Haemodialysis (HD): High-flux and conventional haemodialysis with a 24/7 emergency support unit.
• SLED (Sustained Low-Efficiency Dialysis): Hybrid therapy for hemodynamically unstable patients.
• CRRT (Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy): Round-the-clock dialysis for critically ill patients in the ICU.
• SCUF (Slow Continuous Ultrafiltration): Specialised procedure for targeted fluid removal in patients with refractory heart failure or severe volume overload.
• PLEX (Plasmapheresis / Plasma Exchange): Advanced therapy for autoimmune disorders, atypical HUS, vasculitis, and pre-transplant desensitization and post-transplant rejections.

Interventional Nephrology & Diagnostics

Our faculty performs high-precision bedside and suite-based procedures:

• Kidney Biopsies: Ultrasound-guided native and transplant renal biopsies.
• Vascular Access: Insertion of Permcaths (Tunnelled Cuffed Catheters).
• Temporary Internal Jugular and Femoral catheterizations.
• CAPD Catheter Insertion: For patients opting for Chronic Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis.

Upcoming Milestone: Renal Transplant Program

The department is in the advanced stages of launching a state-of-the-art Renal Transplant Unit. This program will include:

• Live donor transplantation.
• A dedicated Transplant ICU for post-operative care.
• Comprehensive immunological workups and long-term graft monitoring.
