Common causes of end-stage kidney disease include diabetes, long-standing uncontrolled high blood pressure, chronic glomerulonephritis (inflammation and progressive scarring of the kidney’s filtering units), and polycystic kidney disease.

  • Kidney biopsy – Kidney biopsy occupies a fundamental position in the management of kidney diseases.

  • Dialysis – Chronic renal failure (CRF) is the most prevalent, worldwide public health problem of the elderly population. Dialysis is the preferred way to treat kidney failure.

  • Renal ultrasonography – A kidney ultrasound may be used to assess the size, location, and shape of the kidneys and related structures, such as the ureters and bladder.

  • Haemodialysis – Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys did when they were healthy.

  • Haemofiltration – Haemofiltration is a form of Renal Dialysis, mainly used in a critical care setting, which removes waste products from the blood by passing it out of the body through a set of tubing (filtration circuit) to a semi-permeable membrane (filter) and returning it, cleaned, to the body.

  • Kidney Transplantations – During transplant surgery, a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into your body. The new, donated kidney does the work that your two kidneys used to do. This is typically done to treat kidney failure.

FaqQuestions to ask a Nephrology

Nephrologists are doctors who have completed training in internal medicine, internists and then further training in kidney diseases. Nephrologists help treat patients who have improper kidney function or have kidney failure.

Devadoss kidney specialist in Madurai advised the best way to prevent kidney stones is to make sure you drink plenty of water each day to avoid becoming dehydrated. Drink water, but drinks like tea and coffee also count,add fresh lemon juice to your water,avoid fizzy drinks,and do not eat too much salt.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is an indicator of kidney function that estimates the amount of fluid and waste products that are filtered out of the blood by the kidneys. It is used to assess and monitor kidney health and is typically calculated using a formula that takes into account age, gender, and blood creatinine levels.

Doctors often recommend a low-protein diet to maintain kidney function or a low-sodium diet to lower blood pressure. If you have weak kidneys, consult your doctor before starting the diet

The most common causes of kidney disease are hypertension and diabetes. These two diseases can affect any organ in the body. If none of these conditions are well controlled, kidney failure and dialysis can result. Other diseases that attack multiple organs, including the kidneys, include lupus, HIV and viral hepatitis

Blood tests are the most commonly used tests to detect kidney problems. Other tests, such as urinalysis, can help to identify the cause of kidney damage or to identify problems associated with kidney failure. Nephrologists may also use ultrasound imaging to assess the size and shape of the kidneys.

The amount of creatinine in the blood is typically used to assess kidney function, as its levels tend to rise as the kidneys’ ability to remove it from the body decreases. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism that is typically removed from the bloodstream by the kidneys.

Our nephrology hospital in Madurai provides expert care for kidney diseases, dialysis, and chronic renal conditions with advanced facilities and specialists.
