What is Nephrology?

Nephrology is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and management of kidney diseases. At Mallige Hospital, our nephrologists provide expert care for conditions such as acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, electrolyte imbalances, and hypertension, using the latest diagnostic tools and evidence-based therapies to preserve renal function and improve outcomes.

FAQs

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a sudden decline in kidney function over hours to days, leading to fluid imbalance, electrolyte disturbances, and waste build-up. Early intervention can often reverse damage.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a gradual loss of kidney function over months to years, often due to diabetes or hypertension. Management includes blood pressure control, dietary adjustments, and monitoring.

Hemodialysis filters blood through a machine to remove toxins and excess fluid, typically done in-center multiple times a week. Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) uses the abdominal lining as a filter, allowing home-based treatment.

A Renal Biopsy involves removing a small kidney tissue sample using a needle guided by ultrasound or CT to diagnose glomerular diseases and tailor treatment.

Transplant Evaluation is a comprehensive assessment—medical, surgical, and psychosocial—to determine a patient’s suitability for kidney transplantation.

Glomerular Diseases affect the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli), leading to proteinuria and hematuria. Common types include IgA nephropathy and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.
