FAQ's
What are early signs of kidney disease?
Often silent, early kidney disease may show no symptoms. Later stages may present swelling, fatigue, nausea, breathlessness, or decreased urine output. Screening is vital for high-risk patients.
What causes kidney disease?
Common causes include uncontrolled diabetes, hypertension, kidney stones, autoimmune disorders like SLE, and genetic conditions such as polycystic kidney disease.
What are the types of dialysis available?
We offer hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, hemodiafiltration, and CRRT. Dialysis type is chosen based on patient condition and medical suitability.
Can a failed kidney be replaced?
Yes. Kidney transplantation is a viable, long-term solution. We perform live, deceased donor, and blood group incompatible transplants at our center.
How can I protect my kidneys?
Maintain blood pressure and sugar control, avoid excess salt, exercise regularly, stop smoking, and undergo annual kidney health screening if you're at risk.
