“Nephrology is an internal medicine branch that deals with the structure and functions of the kidneys, and the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of kidney diseases. In healthy adults, an average of 150-180 liters of blood per day is filtered by the kidneys and separated from waste products; thus, the body’s fluid, electrolyte, and acid-base balance is maintained. Nephrology specialists evaluate conditions where these mechanisms are disrupted and plan the necessary interventions.”

Detection of proteinuria or hematuria requiring evaluation.

» Electrolyte Imbalances:
Sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus disorders affecting overall health.

» Acute Kidney Injury:
Sudden decreased kidney function requiring urgent assessment.

» Dialysis Evaluation:
Patients being assessed for dialysis requirements.

Our Treatments

» Pharmacological Treatment:
Hypertension, proteinuria, and kidney-protective medication protocols. These medications help slow disease progression and protect remaining kidney function.

» Fluid-Electrolyte Regulation:
Rapid and safe correction of balance disorders. This includes management of sodium, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus imbalances.

» Dialysis Planning and Implementation:
Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis guidance, access care. Our team helps determine the most appropriate dialysis modality for each patient.

» Biopsy and Pathology Examination:
Ultrasound-guided tissue sampling for uninterrupted diagnostic processes. Kidney biopsy helps identify the specific cause of kidney disease.

» Multidisciplinary Approach:
Holistic care through collaboration with cardiology, endocrinology, and nutrition specialists. This comprehensive approach addresses all aspects of patient health.

Conditions We Treat

» Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):
Progressive loss of kidney function over time, requiring ongoing management and monitoring.

» Acute Kidney Injury (AKI):
Sudden decrease in kidney function, often reversible with appropriate treatment.

» Glomerulonephritis:
Inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units, which can lead to kidney damage.

» Diabetic Nephropathy:
Kidney damage caused by diabetes, a leading cause of kidney failure.

» Hypertensive Nephropathy:
Kidney damage resulting from chronic high blood pressure.

» Polycystic Kidney Disease:
Inherited condition causing cyst formation in the kidneys.

» Kidney Stones:
Formation of mineral deposits in the kidneys causing pain and obstruction.

» Urinary Tract Infections:
Infections affecting the kidneys and urinary system.

» Electrolyte Disorders:
Imbalances in sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus.

» Acid-Base Disorders:
Metabolic acidosis and alkalosis affecting overall body function.

» Nephrotic Syndrome:
Condition characterized by heavy protein loss in urine, swelling, and high cholesterol.

» Renal Artery Stenosis:
Narrowing of the arteries supplying blood to the kidneys.

Expert Team and Patient-Centered Approach
