Nephrology
Best Kidney Specialist Hospital In Hebbal, Bangalore
Nephrology is an internal medicine discipline focusing on diagnosing and treating kidney problems. Because the kidney serves so many roles, nephrologists are experts not just in fundamental renal issues but also in the therapy of the systemic implications of kidney malfunction. Although early kidney disease prevention, detection, and management are essential to regular internal medicine practice, nephrologists are often relied upon to aid and manage more complex or advanced nephrology-related illnesses. A nephrologist is a medical specialist who specialises in kidney care and treating renal illnesses. Most patients do not see a nephrologist unless their primary care physician refers them. Seeing a nephrologist usually indicates that you have kidney-related symptoms from an unknown source or that you have health conditions that only a renal expert can cure.
OUR STORY
Know About Us
Why Manipal Hospitals?
Because of the chronic health disorders that develop concurrently, having your kidneys fail is much more likely than having your liver fail. Diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure are all risk factors for kidney disease, and they can also lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, even if you did not previously have these illnesses. Given its severity, nephrological conditions can not be ignored even to the slightest degree.
At Manipal Hospitals' Centre of Excellence in Nephrology, the expert teams of nephrologists, kidney transplant surgeons, Interventional Nephrology radiologists, and urologists collaborate to treat and diagnose the whole spectrum of kidney-related disorders. The quaternary care professionals at Manipal Hospital, Hebbal, have the knowledge to handle the most difficult situations sensitively in treating specific kidney problems that may cause issues in your regular life.
Treatment & Procedures
Transplant medicine
This speciality of nephrology deals with kidney transplants which is gaining popularity among patients suffering from end-stage renal disease.
Kidney Biopsy
A kidney biopsy involves taking one or more tiny samples of your kidney to look at with special microscopes.
Hemodialysis
This is a synthetic process that allows a dialysis machine to filter your blood, removing waste and water. The process assists the body's impaired kidney function and is usually adopted while the patient undergoes treatment for the underlying disease, or till a suitable donor kidney becomes available. In the dialysis machine, the blood passes through…
ABO incompatible and paired exchange…
Sometimes it is impossible to find a compatible kidney donor. With urgency mounting, emergency cases may require an ABO incompatible kidney transplant.
Renal Biopsy
This is a procedure by which a small piece of the kidney is surgically removed for lab testing. Biopsies are primarily used to test for cancer, but is also effective in detecting or confirming other forms of kidney disease. The biopsy can be done through minimally invasive methods, although sometimes a surgical biopsy may be needed to identify the…
Swap Kidney transplantations
A paired kidney exchange, also known as a ‘kidney swap occurs when a living kidney donor is incompatible with the recipient, and exchanges kidneys with another donor/recipient pair.
Kidney Transplantation
This procedure takes a healthy kidney from a deceased or living donor and transplants it into a patient whose kidneys have failed. Without functional kidneys, the body accumulates harmful amounts of waste and fluid, which is a life-threatening situation. Everyone has two kidneys, and it is possible to function normally with just one, this makes it…
Combined Liver and kidney transplant
CLKT is performed routinely in patients with cirrhosis and associated kidney diseases. Most of these patients have chronic renal failure due to parenchymal kidney diseases, in most cases glomerulopathy associated with alcoholic cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis B or C infection, or chronic renal failure due to kidney rejection after kidney transplantation.
Neonatal and Paediatric CRRT procedure
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is becoming the treatment of choice for critically ill paediatric patients as well as neonatal patients with acute kidney injury and congenital errors of metabolism.
Laparoscopic Donor Nephrectomy
Transvaginal route for kidney extraction (TVE) has emerged as a contemporary surgical option during laparoscopic donor nephrectomy to minimize scars and to offer donors cosmetic advantages in tandem with low post-operative pain.
Critical Care Nephrology
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious medical condition which affects lakhs of people. Most cases of AKI are caused by reduced blood flow to the kidneys, usually in a patient who’s unwell with a health condition. The reduced blood flow could be caused by severe dehydration from excessive vomiting or diarrhoea or low blood volume after bleeding. Patients…

Kidneys are responsible for the removal of waste for the body by filtering the body's blood and producing urine. But in a circumstance of Kidney failure, the kidney loses 85 to 90% of its functionality, leading to the need for dialysis, which will filter the blood for waste, salt, and extra water.
Also called ESRD, end-stage renal disease is the last stage of chronic kidney disease. When kidneys fail, it means it has stopped working, and the patient needs dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. If it is acute meaning temporary can be corrected in most instances.
Patients with chronic irreversible kidney disease who do not respond to any medical treatments, and are either on dialysis or would need dialysis will be eligible for a kidney transplant.
