Your Kidneys Matter: Comprehensive Care at SNS Hospital's Nephrology Department

Your kidneys are vital organs, working tirelessly to filter waste, regulate blood pressure, and keep your body in balance. When kidney health is compromised, it can significantly impact your overall well-being. At SNS Hospital's dedicated Nephrology Department, we understand the importance of expert and compassionate care for all kidney-related conditions.   

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD):

What is Nephrology and Why is it Important?

Nephrology is the specialized branch of internal medicine focused on the intricate world of your kidneys. Our highly qualified nephrologists are experts in diagnosing and treating a wide spectrum of kidney diseases, ensuring you receive the most effective and personalized care. This includes managing conditions such as:   

• Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): A long-term condition where kidney function gradually declines.   

• Kidney Stones: Painful mineral deposits that form in the kidneys.   

• Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): A sudden loss of kidney function.

• Electrolyte Imbalances: Disruptions in essential minerals in the blood.   

• End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): Advanced kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplantation.   

Ignoring kidney issues can lead to serious health complications. Early detection and proactive management are crucial for preserving kidney function and maintaining a good quality of life.
