It is also known as Chronic Renal Disease. This occurs over a period of month or years, with symptoms like feeling generally unwell, loss of appetite. People with high blood pressure, diabetes and a bloodline relative with CKD when screened may be found infected with this disease. CKD can be identified by a blood test for creatinine (a breakdown product of muscle metabolism). The higher the creatinine values, the lower glomerular filtration rate and as a result the capacity of the kidney reduces to filter the waste products. There are five stages in this disorder according to international standards, based on glomerular filtration rate and protein level in urine. Screening is important because treatments do exist, that delay CKD.
The important symptoms are:
The kidneys function is to filter the body fluids especially blood. If this ability of the kidney suddenly fails we call it Acute Kidney Failure. During this period the fluid levels in the body may rise to dangerous levels. It may develop over a few hours or few days. It is most common in people who are already hospitalized and are in need of intensive care. The important symptoms are:
This failure may also be found in a person, while being diagnosed for other ailments.
As a result of diabetes, a person’s small blood vessels are injured. The glomeruli, filters of the kidneys are damaged. Due to this high volume proteins are released into the urine. The body will retain more amount of water and salt than normally required. It is commonly called as Diabetic Nephropathy. Raised levels of albumin in the urine are the first sign. Albumin is the main protein that leaks out of a damaged kidney. The disease is divided into:
This also commonly called as Glomerulonephritis. Tiny filters called glomeruli in the kidneys, remove electrolytes, toxins and waste from the blood and excrete them through urine. It might be a sudden attack of inflammation or chronic which comes on gradually. If this occurs on its own it is primary glomerulonephritis or secondary glomerulonephritis when occurred with either diabetes or lupus.

Hypertension is a disease of the elderly. In some younger patients hypertension may be secondary to an underlying hormonal imbalance vascular abnormality or kidney disease. Secondary hypertension may be curable. The following suggests that hypertension may be secondary 2 to an underlying problem.
With the series of simple to complex tests secondary hypertension can be properly diagnosed and treated to ensure prevention of complications like heart disease, kidney disease and eye damage.
We provide a comprehensive care for evaluation and treatment of hypertension.
The intensive care unit (ICU) is a common source of high-acuity nephrology consultations. Although advanced chronic kidney disease is associated with increased ICU mortality, the prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy is far worse, with short-term mortality rates that often exceed 50%
Critical care nephrology is a subspecialty of nephrology that focuses on the care of critically ill patients with kidney disease or acute kidney injury (AKI) in the intensive care unit (ICU). It involves managing complex electrolyte and fluid balance disturbances, renal replacement therapy (RRT), and addressing the renal implications of multi-organ failure.
Nephrologists play a crucial role in the ICU, helping to manage complex patients with kidney disease and AKI, and contributing to multidisciplinary care teams to improve patient outcomes.
Integrated nephrology involves collaboration between nephrologists and other specialists to manage complex conditions affecting multiple organ systems. This approach is crucial for conditions like:
By working together, healthcare teams can provide high-quality, patient-centered care for complex conditions like cardio-renal syndrome and hepato-renal syndrome.
Role of Nephrologist in Kidney Transplant:
Nephrologists play a vital role in ensuring the success of kidney transplants, from evaluation to long-term care.
Interventional nephrology involves minimally invasive procedures to manage kidney disease. Nephrologists trained in interventional nephrology perform:
