What We Treat

The Department of Nephrology at AXON Hospital is equipped to handle a wide range of kidney diseases and conditions, including:

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD): CKD is a long-term condition where the kidneys lose function over time. We offer both medical management and advanced dialysis services to slow the progression of the disease and improve patient outcomes.
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI): AKI is a sudden loss of kidney function due to various factors like infections, dehydration, or medications. Our nephrology team provides immediate care to reverse the condition and prevent further complications.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD): In ESRD, the kidneys lose almost all their ability to function. We provide kidney transplantation options and long-term dialysis care to help patients manage this condition and maintain their quality of life.
Kidney Stones: Our department offers both surgical and non-surgical treatment options for kidney stones, including lithotripsy, which uses sound waves to break up stones, and minimally invasive surgical procedures.
Glomerulonephritis: Glomerulonephritis refers to inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units (glomeruli). Our team uses a combination of medications and therapies to treat this condition and prevent long-term kidney damage.
Hypertensive Kidney Disease: This condition occurs when high blood pressure affects the kidneys. Our nephrologists specialize in managing high blood pressure to prevent further kidney damage.
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD): PKD is a genetic disorder where cysts develop in the kidneys. Our team provides genetic counseling, diagnostic services, and medical management to slow the progression of the disease.
Kidney Infections: Kidney infections can lead to serious complications if not treated promptly. Our team offers both inpatient and outpatient care to manage infections and prevent kidney damage.
