Treatment & Procedures
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)
AKI occurs in patients with previously normal kidney function as a result of low blood pressure or toxins that can cause damage to the kidney. It is usually reversible if appropriate and timely treatment is given.
Kidney Transplantation
A kidney transplant is indicated when a kidney loses about 90% of its ability to perform filtering functions. The donor's kidney is surgically replaced in the recipient, who is suffering from end-stage renal disease. To reduce the risk of kidney rejection by your body, compatibility tests like blood typing, tissue typing, crossmatch, etc., are performed.…
Renal Replacement Therapy
It is the process of gradually replacing damaged or diseased kidneys, first through dialysis and eventually through a kidney transplant. A dialysis machine serves as a temporary replacement for a damaged kidney, allowing the blood in the body to go directly into the machine to be filtered mechanically.
Kidney Cancer
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common type of kidney cancer and is caused by genetic mutations in the cell’s DNA. Total/radical or partial nephrectomy is performed to remove the tumour growth. Non-surgical treatments include cryoablation (cancer cells are frozen) and radiofrequency ablation (cancer cells are burned). Visit Manipal, the Cancer Hospital…
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Also called chronic kidney failure, CKD is a progressive, irreversible loss of kidney function that can occur over time. Timely diagnosis and treatment may prevent the progression of the disease. The disease is diagnosed using certain blood and urine investigations, imaging tests like ultrasound, and at times kidney biopsy to determine the cause and…
Polycystic Kidney Disease
It is a genetic disorder, in which cysts or fluid-filled sacs are formed in the kidney and impair its functions. The most common treatments include medications to control blood pressure; haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; or kidney transplantation.
Kidney Stones
Also called nephrolithiasis, renal calculi, or urolithiasis. Stones in the kidney form, when your urine has high minerals such as calcium, oxalates, or uric acid, that form hard deposits inside your kidney and urinary tract. Diagnostic tests include blood and urine investigations, imaging tests. Smaller stones are removed using certain medications…
Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)
Infection of the bladder and kidneys is a common cause of seeking medical advice. by Escherichia coli or E. coli is the leading cause of UTI and are treated using lifestyle modifications and certain medications.
Kidney Health
A sedentary lifestyle, increased consumption of junk and processed food, eating outside food regularly, increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus & hypertension and lack of exercise have increased the risk of kidney diseases among many other health problems, and have become a major public concern. Diseases of the kidney can go unnoticed until it has progressed into an advanced stage. People at high risk for kidney diseases include those leading an unhealthy lifestyle, with a history of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, or kidney failure. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and eating a balanced diet can go a long way in preventing progression of the kidney diseases. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking and drinking alcohol, staying hydrated, and regular health screening like blood and urine investigations can help in detecting the disease at a very early and treatable stage. If the kidney disease is left untreated, an individual may lose more than 90% of the kidney function capacity and have to depend on dialysis lifelong or undergo kidney transplantation.
