Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is critical for the effective management of kidney-related conditions. At our Nephrology department, we use a range of diagnostic tests and procedures to identify the underlying cause of each patient’s symptoms.
These may include:
- Blood tests to measure kidney function and identify any abnormalities
- Urine tests to check for protein or other signs of kidney damage
- Imaging tests, such as ultrasounds or CT scans, to examine the kidneys and surrounding structures
- Kidney biopsies, in which a small tissue sample is taken for further analysis
Our specialists work closely with each patient to determine the most appropriate diagnostic tests based on their needs and medical history. We use the latest technology and techniques to ensure that our diagnoses are accurate and reliable.
Treatments
We offer a range of treatments for kidney-related conditions, including:
- Medications to manage blood pressure, reduce inflammation, or control other symptoms
- Dialysis, a process that uses a machine to filter waste products from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly
- Surgical interventions, such as the removal of kidney stones or the repair of a blocked or damaged urinary tract
Our specialists work closely with each patient to determine the most appropriate treatment plan based on their needs and medical history. We use evidence-based practices and the latest technology and techniques to ensure that our treatments are effective and safe.
In addition to medical treatments, we also provide ongoing care and support for our patients throughout their treatment journey. We believe that this comprehensive approach to care helps our patients achieve the best possible outcomes.
