FAQ's

Nephrology is the study of the kidneys and the diseases that impact them. This involves overseeing treatments like dialysis and transplantation, addressing systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and managing autoimmune diseases such as Lupus. Name some common nephrological problems. Kidney stones, kidney failure,Kidney Infections, polycystic kidney disease, lupus, proteinuria, hematuria, etc. are some of the nephrological problems.

Initially, doctors will prescribe medications and advise to drink plenty of water to let the stone pass without surgery. But if the stone is very large, or it blocks the flow of urine, the doctor may recommend surgery. The most advanced procedures for the treatment of kidney stones are lithotripsy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and ureterorenoscopy.

With the most experienced nephrologists in Hyderabad, we excel in diagnosing and treating a wide range of nephrological conditions using advanced methods. Our nephrology department employs the latest technologies for precision care, resulting in numerous successful patient outcomes. Apollo Hospitals in Jubilee Hills stands as the top choice and the best hospital in Hyderabad for nephrology care.

It is strongly recommended to consult with a nephrologist if you have been diagnosed with diabetes to undergo regular kidney check-ups. In cases of severe pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and chills, with a diagnosis of kidney stones from your primary care doctor, it is advisable to seek the expertise of a nephrologist. Symptoms and signs of kidney disease include swelling of face and feet, breathlessness, alterations in urine output, breathing difficulty, high blood pressure, tiredness, sleep disturbances and loss of appetite.

Dialysis is a medical procedure designed to purify an individual’s blood by removing toxins or waste substances that are typically filtered by the kidneys. This intervention becomes necessary when the kidneys cease to function at their optimal capacity. The objective is to maintain the proper balance of chemicals, fluids, and salts within the body, ensuring normal bodily functions.

Similar to the role of healthy kidneys, dialysis maintains the balance within your body. It eliminates waste, salt, and excess water, regulates specific chemical levels in your blood (like potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate), and aids in blood pressure control. Hemodialysis usually requires four-hour sessions three times a week, while peritoneal dialysis is done three times a day by the patient at home.
