Medical Departments
Nephrology focuses on ensuring the normal functioning of kidneys by treating conditions that
hinder its processes. The
various conditions that fall under the scope of nephrology include:
The Nephrology team at MPUH specializes in offering evaluation and treatment for a wide range of
kidney-related complications including:

The state-of-the-art Dialysis unit at MPUH, Nadiad, operates 24/7 at full capacity, providing advanced care for patients with kidney diseases. The Department of Nephrology offers the following services:
Interventional Nephrology:
Patients who are critically ill often have a high metabolic rate as their body work to recover from disease. They may require vasoactive drugs, nutritional support, and inotropic or other drug infusions, which often involve large fluid volumes. In such cases, dialysis support is crucial for maintaining fluid and waste balance.
At MPUH, we currently provide the following dialysis modalities:
Hemodialysis is carried out using 48 advanced machines to remove waste products
and excess fluid from the blood.
Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) uses the peritoneal cavity as a natural filter, where dialysate
absorbs waste and fluid before being drained. This offers a gentler alternative for
selected patients.
For critically ill and hemodynamically unstable patients in the ICU, SLED provides a slower, gentler form of dialysis that helps remove waste and fluids without causing significant drops in blood pressure.
