Department of Nephrology & Kidney Sciences
Kidneys process about 180 litres of blood and remove almost 2 litres of waste every day. Kidney diseases and injuries can affect how kidneys function. Over a period of time, untreated kidney diseases can result in a slow and silent decline in kidney function. Some of the diseases, such as diabetic kidney disease, blood pressure, glomerular diseases, congenital kidney diseases, trauma, or poisoning, can cause damage to the nephrons, the filtering units of kidneys, and thus reduce the kidney function or renal function.
Nephrology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of various kidney diseases and conditions. Nephrologists specialise in treating various structural, functional, and morphological diseases pertaining to the kidneys and their internal structures. The nephrology department at Yashoda Hospitals is dedicated to providing high-quality services with advanced facilities and personalised patient care. Our nephrologists offer a full spectrum of diagnostic, consultative, and treatment services for kidney disease patients, from the earliest detectable changes in kidney function to end-stage kidney disorders.
Specialised Care for Nephrological Diseases and Conditions
Diseases and Conditions of renal system commonly present as Chronic Kidney Failure which is seen in long-standing diseases of the kidney and results in slow, irreversible damage to the kidneys and deterioration of kidney function. In early stages, the signs are less apparent. Hence, early diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases is very important.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly seen in hospitalised patients, especially in critically ill patients. The institute provides critical care with leading practicing nephrologists for mild, moderate, and severe acute kidney injury. AKI is associated with rapid (within hours or days) decrease in renal excretion and accumulation of creatinine and toxic wastes (accelerated decline in kidney function). Our nephrologists focus on identifying the injury before it culminates in acute renal failure. Patients may require renal replacement therapy in both cases. It is important to stop the progress of acute renal failure from progressing to chronic kidney disease.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is nephrology?
The medical speciality that deals with kidney-related diseases, like chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, kidney stones, kidney cysts, and urinary tract infections.
What is the difference between a urologist and a nephrologist?
Nephrologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of kidney diseases. Whereas, urologists specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and conditions of the urinary tract and male reproductive system.
Nephrologists treat which diseases?
A nephrologist treats a variety of diseases and conditions related to the kidneys and the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance. Nephrologists work to diagnose, treat, and manage these conditions and provide comprehensive care for patients with complex kidney-related issues.
What are the common tests conducted under nephrology?
Nephrology and kidney-related assessments encompass blood tests such as serum creatinine, albumin, and electrolyte levels, along with urine tests like urine analysis and urine culture. Diagnostic imaging, including ultrasound, MRI, CT scans, and renal scans, is employed to identify structural kidney-related conditions.
Can kidney stones become a life-threatening condition?
The severity of kidney stones depends on several factors, including the size, location, and type of stone, as well as the individual’s overall health. Pain caused by kidney stones can be excruciating, often accompanied by other urinary complications such as kidney infections and potential permanent kidney damage.
How to prevent kidney failure?
The prevention of kidney disease is achieved through the implementation of a healthy lifestyle, the maintenance of a balanced diet, regular monitoring and control of blood pressure, and the avoidance of smoking and alcohol consumption.
What is dialysis?
Dialysis is a medical treatment recommended when kidney function is impaired. It involves using a machine to remove waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood, ensuring a balanced level of chemicals and electrolytes in the body.
How long can a person live on dialysis?
Patients on dialysis can live more than 20 to 30 years when done under proper conditions, and it depends on the technology and the chosen hospital and infrastructure.
Is dialysis a permanent treatment?
Dialysis can be either temporary or permanent, depending on the patient’s condition. It may be needed temporarily for acute kidney injury or severe dehydration. However, for those with end-stage renal disease or chronic kidney failure, where the kidneys have permanently lost most of their function, dialysis becomes a lifelong treatment.
Can kidneys start working normally after dialysis?
Dialysis can be a temporary substitute in cases of acute kidney injury; once the underlying condition is treated, the kidney’s function is restored, and dialysis can be discontinued. However, in chronic kidney failure or end-stage kidney disease, the damage is usually permanent.
How often is kidney dialysis done?
Dialysis is typically performed three times a week in the case of hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis is usually done on a daily basis. The specific schedule is tailored to each patient’s health condition and lifestyle.
What is a kidney function test?
Kidney function tests, including serum creatinine, blood urea, urine analysis, and urine culture, are conducted to measure kidney function and monitor the progression of kidney diseases.
What tests are done to check kidney function?
Common tests to assess kidney function include serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, glomerular filtration rate, urinalysis, and imaging tests such as ultrasound and CT scans. A kidney biopsy may also be performed for the evaluation of the extent of kidney damage.
What is the best treatment for kidney stones?
The treatment depends on the size, type, and location of the stones. Small stones are usually treated with medical management. Minimally invasive interventions, such as lithotripsy and lasers, are used for the breaking and crushing of stones with shock waves.
Which is the best hospital for nephrology in Hyderabad?
Yashoda hospitals, with an experienced panel of nephrologists supported by world-class infrastructure like robotics, a dedicated dialysis unit, and the largest kidney transplant centre, stand as the best choice for kidney treatment in their region.
