treatment services for all kidney diseases, including high blood pressure, kidney stones, and
other kidney-related disorders such as Acute Renal Failure (ARF) and Chronic Kidney Disease
(CKD).
The hospital houses a state-of-the-art Renal Dialysis Unit with 48 machines, equipped with
advanced dialysis technology. Patients admitted to the ICU receive advanced bedside dialysis
facilities like SLED whenever required without shifting anywhere.
The Department of Nephrology is led by a team of senior consultants with extensive experience
in the management and treatment of renal disorders. They are supported by a team of well-
trained, patient-focused nurses and dialysis technicians, ensuring high-quality and
compassionate care.
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:
Our nephrologists specialize in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), offering tailored treatment plans to slow the progression of the disease and improve patients' quality of life. We provide comprehensive care, including lifestyle modifications, medication management, and dialysis services when needed.
At MPUH, our transplant nephrologists are dedicated to kidney transplantation, providing expert care from evaluation to post-transplant management. We are committed to enhancing the lives of patients through successful kidney transplants and ensuring the long-term well-being of transplant recipients.
Our nephrology team offers advanced hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis services, providing life-sustaining renal replacement therapies. With state-of-the-art technology and personalized care, we help patients manage kidney failure and maintain optimal health.
Our nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and managing glomerular diseases, including glomerulonephritis and nephrotic syndrome. We offer individualized treatment plans to minimize the impact of these complex kidney disorders and improve patients' overall well-being.
Our experts in hypertension and renal vascular disorders focus on optimizing blood pressure control and managing conditions that affect the blood vessels in the kidneys. We provide comprehensive care to prevent complications and promote kidney health.
Our nephrologists specialize in diagnosing and managing electrolyte imbalances and acid-base disorders, ensuring that patients' body fluids and chemical balance are maintained for optimal health.
Our renal nutrition specialists work closely with patients to develop kidney-friendly nutrition plans that support overall health and kidney function. We provide guidance on dietary choices to manage kidney-related conditions and improve well-being.
Our pediatric nephrologists offer specialized care for children with kidney-related conditions, ensuring that our youngest patients receive gentle, effective, and child-centered treatments.
At MPUH, we are committed to advancing the field of nephrology through research and innovation. Our nephrology specialists contribute to medical knowledge and participate in clinical trials to improve treatment options and outcomes for kidney-related conditions.
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.
