About Nephrology

Comprehensive Nephrology & Kidney Care Services

Our Department of Nephrology provides specialized care for acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease (CKD), hemodialysis, hypertension, diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, and complex hepatorenal disorders.
"Our commitment is simple — every patient, every condition, every time. We bring world-class digestive care to your doorstep."

The Department of Nephrology at Gastro Liver Hospital offers comprehensive, patient-centered diagnosis and treatment for the entire spectrum of kidney diseases. Our specialized nephrology team is committed to the prevention, early detection, and advanced medical management of acute and chronic renal disorders, ensuring enhanced quality of life and long-term renal health.

We provide comprehensive management for conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury (AKI), diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney damage, glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, recurrent urinary tract infections, and complex electrolyte imbalances. In our tertiary care setup, we specialize in managing Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS)—a critical renal complication seen in advanced liver disease—through close coordination between our nephrologists and hepatologists.

Our state-of-the-art dialysis facility features high-efficiency hemodialysis machines powered by an ultra-pure multi-stage reverse osmosis (RO) water purification plant. We provide round-the-clock maintenance hemodialysis, emergency bedside dialysis (SLED) for critically ill patients in the ICU, central venous catheterizations, and long-term vascular access care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the early warning signs of kidney disease?

Early kidney disease often causes subtle symptoms, including swelling in feet and ankles (edema), puffiness around the eyes, persistent fatigue, foamy or frothy urine, blood in urine, increased urination at night, and poorly controlled high blood pressure.

What are the early warning signs of kidney disease?
Can Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) be cured or reversed?

While established chronic kidney disease typically cannot be fully reversed, early diagnosis and aggressive medical treatment (such as strict blood pressure control, blood sugar optimization, and specialized nephroprotective medications) can significantly slow disease progression and delay the need for dialysis by years.

Can Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) be cured or reversed?
How does liver disease affect kidney function?

In patients with advanced chronic liver disease or cirrhosis, severe hemodynamic changes can reduce blood supply to the kidneys, leading to Hepatorenal Syndrome (HRS) or acute kidney injury. At our specialized gastro-liver hospital, our nephrology team works closely with hepatologists for combined care.

How does liver disease affect kidney function?
How often does a patient need hemodialysis?

Most end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients typically require hemodialysis two to three times per week, with each session lasting approximately 3.5 to 4 hours, depending on individual residual kidney function, fluid gain, and lab clearance parameters.

How often does a patient need hemodialysis?
What dietary restrictions are necessary for kidney patients?

Kidney disease patients generally need tailored restrictions on dietary sodium (salt), potassium (bananas, citrus fruits, raw vegetables), phosphorus (dairy, processed foods), and fluids, along with protein intake calibrated to their specific CKD stage by our clinical dieticians.
