Nephrology

Gleneagles Hospitals' professional team of urologists, radiologists, kidney transplant surgeons, and nephrologists collaborates to diagnose and treat various kidney-related conditions rapidly. When it comes to unusual kidney diseases that may necessitate a kidney transplant, our quaternary care specialists are equipped to manage even the most challenging cases. This is why Gleneagles Hospitals is currently the top nephrology hospital in Chennai.  

Conditions Treated

  • Chronic Kidney Diseases (CKD): Chronic kidney disease (CKD) symptoms can last months or years and include appetite loss and general illness. When screened, those with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family member with CKD may be found to have the disorder. A blood test for creatinine, a byproduct of muscle metabolism, can diagnose chronic kidney disease (CKD).
  • Acute Kidney Failure: The kidneys filter body fluids, especially blood, as part of their function. The term "acute renal failure" refers to when this kidney function ceases abruptly. At this moment, the body's fluid levels may become dangerously high. It could take several days or hours to develop. People who are already in need of intensive care are more likely to encounter it.  
  • Anaemia of Kidney Diseases: When the hormone erythropoietin (EPO), which is produced by healthy kidneys, decreases, the kidney develops anaemia. In reaction to EPO, the bone marrow produces red blood cells, which transport oxygen throughout the body via the blood.
  • Diabetic Kidney Diseases: Diabetes damages a person's blood vessels. The kidney's glomeruli, or filters, are damaged. Proteins get released into the bladder as a result of the high volume. The body will store more salt and water than is normally required. The most commonly used term is diabetic nephropathy. The first sign is high albumin levels in the urine. The principal protein that exits from a damaged kidney is albumin.  
  • Glomerular Disease: Glomerular illness affects the kidneys' microscopic filters, called glomeruli, which collect waste, toxins, and electrolytes from the blood and excrete them through urine. It might appear as a progressive, chronic inflammation or as a rapid, acute illness.
