CKD is a gradual and irreversible loss of kidney function over time.

No, dialysis is needed only in advanced kidney failure or certain emergency conditions.

For suitable patients, kidney transplant offers better quality of life and long-term outcomes than dialysis.

Usually, Kidney disease often shows no early symptoms. Warning signs may include swelling of face or legs, decreased urine output, fatigue, nausea, high BP, frequent urination at night, or blood in urine.

Through blood tests (creatinine, eGFR), urine tests (Routine & microscopic examination, ACR), ultrasound and sometimes kidney biopsy.

CKD is a long-term loss of kidney function. It progresses slowly and requires regular medical care to delay further damage.

Individual diet varies based on stage of disease. A renal diet usually limits salt, phosphorus and potassium and controls of fluid intake. Advice from a dietician is recommended.

Yes. Healthy diet, controlled diabetes/BP, hydration, avoiding painkiller misuse, quitting smoking and regular checkups can protect your kidneys.

Dialysis is required when kidneys can no longer remove waste and excess fluid. It may be temporary or long-term depending on the illness.

Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD), CRRT, SLED

Most patients on hemodialysis require treatment three times a week, with each session lasting about 4 hours.
The frequency and duration depend on the patient’s medical condition, residual kidney function, body weight, and doctor’s advice.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is usually performed daily.
CAPD: 3–4 exchanges spread throughout the day
APD: Done at night using a machine while the patient sleeps

Yes. The treating nephrologist may adjust the schedule based on lab results, fluid balance, symptoms, and overall health.

Missing sessions can lead to fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, breathlessness, and serious complications.
Patients should avoid skipping sessions and inform the hospital if unavoidable

Yes. We provide complete transplant care including evaluation, surgery, and long-term follow-up.

• Blood relatives like parents, grandparents, siblings, or spouse are usually preferred donors after compatibility testing.
• Age between 18yrs to 65 yrs
• Doesn’t have any co-morbidities like diabetes

Before a kidney transplant, both the recipient (patient) and the donor must undergo detailed medical evaluations to ensure safety and compatibility. Your nephrologist will guide you in these steps.

It usually takes around 2 – 3 months to get the transplant approval from the competent authority.
The transplantation process is as follows:

Consultation & Counselling Completion of Investigation Clearance from the transplant doctor’s team Legal Formalities (domicile certificate or NOC from Embassy/ high commission Affidavit from court) Submission of file Board meeting for Final NOC or Approval from Transplant Autorization Committee.

Cost varies depending on medical condition, donor evaluation, surgery and post-operative care. Our transplant coordinator will provide an estimate.

• Sudden inability to pass urine
• High fever with chills and urinary symptoms

Common tests include urine examination, urine culture, blood tests, ultrasound, X-ray or CT scan, uroflowmetry and sometimes cystoscopy, as advised by the urologist.

Yes, kidney stones are treated using medications, ESWL (shock wave therapy), URS, RIRS, or PCNL, depending on the stone size, location, and patient condition.

Yes, prostate enlargement (BPH) is treated using advanced laser procedures, offering effective relief with minimal bleeding and faster recovery.

Urinary incontinence is treated with lifestyle changes, medications, pelvic floor exercises, and minimally invasive or surgical procedures, depending on the cause and severity.

Yes, we offer comprehensive evaluation and treatment for male infertility and sexual dysfunction, including medical, counseling, and advanced urological therapies.

Yes, we perform minimally invasive and day-care urological surgeries, enabling smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery

Yes, we provide specialized care for children with kidney and urinary disorders through experienced paediatric nephrology and urology services.

Common kidney problems in children include nephrotic syndrome, urinary tract infections (UTIs), congenital kidney or urinary tract abnormalities, kidney stones, reflux disease (VUR), and bedwetting related to urinary issues.

Yes, pediatric urological surgeries are safe and effective when performed by experienced specialists, using childfriendly anesthesia and minimally invasive techniques whenever appropriate.

• All pathological tests
• Ultrasound (USG), Doppler
• CT scan
• Uroflowmetry
• X-Ray
• ECG
• Echocardiography (Echo)

Reports can be collected from the reception and also available at our hospital website.

Yes, we provide kidney biopsy services performed under imaging guidance by experienced specialists, ensuring accurate diagnosis with a high level of safety.

Kidney patients should follow prescribed medications and diet, control blood pressure and blood sugar, limit salt and fluid as advised, avoid painkillers without medical advice, and attend regular follow-ups.

Kidney transplant patients should take immunosuppressive medicines regularly, maintain strict hygiene, follow diet and fluid advice, avoid infections, attend regular follow-ups, and report any fever or unusual symptoms immediately.
