What is nephrology?

Nephrology is the medical specialty that focuses on your kidneys, two small organs that do some of the biggest jobs in your body. They filter waste, balance fluids, control blood pressure, and keep your body’s chemistry in check.

When your kidneys aren’t working as they should, it may not be obvious at first. That’s why nephrology is about more than just treating kidney failure, it’s about preventing it, managing it early, and protecting long-term kidney health.

The Nephrology Department at St. Peter’s Medical College Hospital & Research Institute, Hosur, is dedicated to delivering exceptional care for kidney-related disorders. Our team of experienced nephrologists offers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic solutions tailored to individual needs.

We specialize in managing chronic kidney disease (CKD), acute kidney injury, glomerulonephritis, and electrolyte imbalances. With cutting-edge facilities, we provide services such as hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and pre-and post-kidney transplant care. Our state-of-the-art dialysis unit ensures a safe and comfortable experience for patients.

Emphasizing preventive care, we focus on early detection and management of kidney disorders, empowering patients to lead healthier lives. With a compassionate approach and a multidisciplinary team, we strive to achieve optimal outcomes for every patient.

When to see a nephrologist

You should consider seeing a nephrologist if you experience

  • Swelling in your legs, ankles, or face
  • Unusual fatigue or weakness
  • Foamy or bloody urine
  • Changes in urination (too much, too little, or frequent at night)
  • High blood pressure that’s hard to control
  • History of diabetes or heart disease
  • Abnormal kidney function on lab reports
  • A family history of kidney problems

If something doesn’t feel right, or even if you’re just unsure, getting your kidneys checked could make all the difference.
