Our Nephrology Services

Nephrology Consultation

Our nephrology consultations help evaluate kidney function, symptoms, risk factors, medical history, medicines, and previous reports.

During consultation, the nephrologist may review:

  • Blood pressure history
  • Urine symptoms
  • Swelling or fluid retention
  • Kidney function reports
  • Past medical conditions
  • Diabetes or hypertension history
  • Medication use
  • Imaging reports
  • Family history of kidney disease
  • Need for further tests, imaging, dialysis, or specialist coordination
  • Dialysis Support

Dialysis may be required when the kidneys are unable to adequately remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood.

Dialysis support may be advised in conditions such as:

  • Advanced kidney disease
  • Acute kidney injury
  • Severe fluid overload
  • Certain electrolyte disturbances
  • Kidney failure requiring renal replacement support

The need for dialysis is decided after clinical evaluation, kidney function assessment, and overall medical condition of the patient.

Kidney Biopsy

A kidney biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of kidney tissue is taken for examination.

It may be advised when the doctor needs more detailed information about the cause or type of kidney disease. The results can help guide diagnosis, treatment planning, and long-term kidney care.

Renal Function Tests

Renal function tests help assess how well the kidneys are working.

These tests may be used to monitor:

  • Kidney function
  • Waste product levels in the blood
  • Electrolyte balance
  • Effect of medicines on kidney health
  • Progression of kidney disease
  • Response to treatment

Regular monitoring is especially important for patients with diabetes, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, or a family history of kidney disease.

Renal Imaging

Renal imaging helps diagnose and monitor kidney and urinary tract conditions.

Imaging may include:

  • Ultrasound
  • Micturating Cystourethrogram
  • CT scan
  • Other imaging tests based on clinical need

Renal imaging may be advised for kidney stones, urinary symptoms, structural concerns, recurrent infections, abnormal reports, or suspected obstruction.

Coordinated Care with Other Specialties

Kidney disorders often overlap with other medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, infections, urinary tract problems, or critical illness.

Our Nephrology services work closely with:

  • Internal Medicine
  • Urology
  • ICU and Critical Care
  • Cardiology
  • Diabetes and Endocrinology
  • Radiology and diagnostics
  • Nutrition services
  • Surgery and other specialties where required

This coordinated approach helps patients receive connected care, especially when kidney problems are part of a larger medical condition.

Inpatient Nephrology Care

Some kidney-related conditions may require hospitalization for close monitoring, stabilization, dialysis, or multidisciplinary treatment.

Inpatient nephrology care may be needed for:

  • Acute kidney injury
  • Worsening kidney function
  • Severe uncontrolled hypertension
  • Fluid overload
  • Electrolyte imbalance
  • Kidney-related complications during hospitalization
  • Dialysis supportKidney-related concerns in ICU patients
  • Kidney complications linked with diabetes, infections, surgery, or other illnesses

Our inpatient care is coordinated with ICU, Internal Medicine, Urology, and other specialists to support safe stabilization and recovery.

Our Approach to Kidney Care

At Sitaram Bhartia, nephrology care is built around careful diagnosis, timely treatment, long-term monitoring, and prevention of further kidney damage.

Our approach focuses on:

  • Early identification of kidney problems
  • Careful evaluation of symptoms and reports
  • Evidence-based treatment planning
  • Blood pressure and diabetes-related kidney risk management
  • Appropriate use of renal function tests and imaging
  • Dialysis support when required
  • Coordination with urology, ICU, and internal medicine teams
  • Patient education on kidney health
  • Long-term monitoring and follow-up
  • Involving patients and families in care decisions

When Should You Consult a Nephrologist?

You should consider consulting a nephrologist if you experience:

  • Persistent swelling in the legs, ankles, or feet
  • Blood in urine
  • Foamy urine
  • High blood pressure
  • Chronic fatigue or unexplained weakness
  • Frequent urination
  • Difficulty passing urine
  • Abnormal kidney function reports
  • Recurrent kidney stones
  • Diabetes with kidney-related concerns
  • Family history of kidney disease
  • Sudden reduction in urine output
  • Kidney disease diagnosed by another doctor
