FAQ's

During your initial consultations with a renal specialist, your specialist will discuss the onset of symptoms, medical history, and previous consultations or prescriptions, if any. Based on the review, you will be recommended to undergo diagnostic tests and imaging scans, such as urinalysis, kidney function tests, ultrasonography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An evaluation is made of your results, and a personalised treatment plan is tailored specifically to your needs and condition. Your specialist will also inform you of your possible risks and post-procedural care and prescribe medications if needed. 
 

Kidney stone occurs when substances that are present in the urine, which include calcium oxalate, uric acids, struvite, and cystine, are formed as crystals. Reasons that contribute to the formation of kidney stones include:

  • Dehydration or not drinking enough water

  • High protein, sodium, or sugar diet

  • Obesity

  • Diseases related to gastrointestinal conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, diarrhoea, and other conditions, including diabetes and gout

  • High consumption of calcium supplements

  • Certain medications, such as ciprofloxacin, sulfa antibiotics, or diuretics

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, occurs when the prostate is enlarged, pressing against the urethra and obstructing the flow of urine. Treatment options range from ‘watchful waiting’ to surgical procedures, which include:

  • Regular checkups to monitor the progress of BPH, ensuring that it doesn't get enlarged.

  • Medications such as alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, a combination of alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and tadalafil

  • Minimal invasive therapies, which include microwave, electrical, or laser techniques such as Holmium Laser Vaporisation, Transurethral Microwave Thermotherapy, Transurethral Needle ablation of the prostate (TUNA), Water-induced Thermotherapy (WITT), IntraProstatic Injection Therapy, Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP), and Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP).

Dietary changes play a crucial role in kidney health, aiding in the management of conditions such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reducing the risk of kidney stone formation and other renal complications. General dietary instructions include:

  • Consuming less salt or sodium content

  • Including fruits and vegetables, such as berries, grapes, cauliflowers, eggplants and turnips

  • Having proteins such as eggs, seafood without added salt, fish, and poultry meats. However, individuals with chronic kidney disease may be advised to consume less protein

  • Drinking high amounts of water

Your specialist will provide you with a personalised diet plan based on your conditions, as well as foods that you should avoid during your recovery period to minimise the progression of the disease.
 

Bladder cancer symptoms can differ among individuals and are based on the stage and severity of the disease. Common symptoms of bladder cancer include:

  • The presence of blood during urinating, also called haematuria

  • Painful or burning sensation while urinating

  • Frequent urination at night

  • Pain in the back, abdomen, and bones

  • Unexplained weight loss 

  • Feet oedema

  • Fatigue

  • Loss of appetite

The frequency of dialysis sessions generally depends on individual factors, such as kidney function, overall health, and the type of dialysis prescribed. Sessions done at the hospital usually take 3-5 hours, three times a week. However, for individuals opting for home dialysis, treatment duration spans between 2-3 hours and 6-7 days. Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy is meant for patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) and involves a 24-hour, non-stop continuous process until their condition improves enough to tolerate standard dialysis or until dialysis is no longer necessary.   Dialysis requires venous access for effective filtration of waste and is done by an Arteriovenous (AV) fistula, AV graft, or central venous catheter.
