Description

Nephrology is a medical super specialty that deals with the functioning and diseases of the kidney. Kidneys are the sophisticated filtering units of the body. On an average, the kidneys of a healthy adult process about 180 litres of blood daily to dispose the extra water and waste material in the form of urine. Any alteration or dysfunction in the anatomy or the physiology of the kidney can cause acute or chronic renal (kidney) diseases which can seriously affect the functioning of the entire body. The Department of Nephrology at Lifeline Hospital comprises of state-of-the-art infrastructure, equipments with the most updated technology and a team of dedicated and skilled nephrologists and paramedical staff. The above facilities enable the department to deliver the best possible care to a patient with acute or chronic kidney diseases. This involves surgical placement of a functional kidney from a living or a deceased donor into a patient with advanced kidney failure. Successful kidney transplantation remarkably improves the quality of life albeit with life-long medications to reduce the chances of rejection.
