Ultrasound-Guided Kidney Biopsy:
We perform precision kidney biopsies under real-time ultrasound guidance to accurately diagnose specific glomerular diseases, minimising risk and ensuring diagnostic confidence.
03
ICU-Integrated Critical Care Nephrology:
Our nephrologists work directly within our specialised Intensive Care Units to manage Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), providing continuous renal support therapies for critically ill patients.

Key Procedures
Specialised Procedures We Offer
.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Management:
Comprehensive staging and long-term management using medication and targeted diet therapy to slow the progression of kidney damage and preserve function.
Hemodialysis & Peritoneal Dialysis:
Life-sustaining renal replacement therapies including in-centre hemodialysis and training and support for home-based peritoneal dialysis.
Ultrasound-Guided Kidney Biopsy:
Precision diagnostic biopsies to identify the specific cause of kidney disease, performed safely under local anaesthesia with real-time imaging guidance.
Diabetic Nephropathy & Hypertension Management:
Integrated, specialised care for patients with diabetes and difficult-to-treat high blood pressure to prevent and manage the kidney complications associated with these conditions.
Q: When should I see a Nephrologist?
A: You should consult a nephrologist if you have persistent swelling in your ankles or face, changes in urine frequency or colour, unexplained fatigue, or if your blood tests show high levels of Creatinine or Urea.
Q: Is Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) reversible?
A: While damaged kidney tissue often cannot be "reversed," early detection and proper management at Gifted Hands Hospital can significantly slow down the progression of the disease and prevent the need for dialysis.
Q: Does high blood pressure always mean I have a kidney problem?
A: Not always, but the two are closely linked. High blood pressure can cause kidney damage, and damaged kidneys can make blood pressure rise. We evaluate both to ensure your heart and kidneys are protected.
Q: How long does a dialysis session take?
A: Standard hemodialysis usually takes about 4 hours per session, typically performed three times a week. However, the schedule is personalised based on your specific medical needs.
Q: What is the difference between a Nephrologist and a Urologist?
A: A Nephrologist is a medical doctor who treats diseases of the kidney function (like CKD and dialysis). A Urologist is a surgeon who treats structural issues of the urinary tract and male reproductive system (like kidney stones or prostate issues).
Q: Can I live a normal life on dialysis?
A: Yes. Many of our patients at Gifted Hands Hospital lead active lives, including working and travelling, by following their treatment schedules and dietary guidelines.
Q: Is a kidney biopsy painful?
A: We perform kidney biopsies under local anaesthesia with ultrasound guidance. While you may feel a "pinch" or pressure, the procedure is generally quick and well-tolerated.
Q: What diet should a kidney patient follow?
A: Renal diets are highly specific. Generally, patients need to monitor their intake of protein, sodium, potassium, and phosphorus. Our in-house nutritionist provides a detailed plan tailored to your stage of kidney health.
